Answer 2

Aside from the ones that you mention there is Zoroastrianism. The problem with all of these is that really, they have polytheistic roots, and it shows. Monotheism is rather abnormal in religion through history. There is conflict and chaos in the world, and people's religious beliefs tend to reflect the world around them. What is considered a god? traditionally, a god didn't have to be worshipped to be a god. Angels would count as demigods, and Satan would constitute a god. Really. (In fact he was, a Canaanite sun god.) But even in regards to being the opposing force of the (theoretical) one god, He'd still count as a god. Not all gods have to be good.

A more pure form of monotheism originated with the Akhenaten heresy. Yes, that's what it's really called. Akhenaten, the pharoh during the Amarna period and husband of the more commonly known Nefertiti, abolished polytheism during his reign, destroyed the names of gods wherever he could find them (to destroy the name destroyed a part of the actual being according to Egyptian tradition so you can imagine how kindly this was not recieved) and declared the Aten to be the one true god. This didn't last, though. When he died, and he may have been helped into his grave- his name and the names of his family were obliterated to the best of anyone's ability (karmic, huh?) and plytheism was restored. Even if I don't agree with Akhenaten's methods, I have to admire the Amarna period. It was a bit of a golden age for art and literature.

Answer 3

Jews, Christians, and Muslims all are monotheistic faiths, believing in the God that appeared to Abraham. Interestingly, they are the only major monotheistic faiths (no offense to smaller religons out there believing in one god)... makes you wonder if that God is real: after all, if Jews and Muslims and Christians can agree about it, it must be a pretty sure thing.

Answer 4

The Christian faith believes in the Trinity. The three parts that make up one Gd. Most faiths, whether mono or poly theistic have either the same concept or believe that all their Gods came from the same source. There's always an initial being that starts it all off. So, in that view, all religions are monotheistic of a sort.

Answer 5

buddhism, jainism, sikhism, all have one god.
Some Hindus also believe in one God - Ishwar.

I am a Hindu and I have the following view:
The concept of God in Hinduism is different than Concept of God in Islam or Christianity.
We believe there are so many devtas -just like in christianity there are angels we have many Gods of say fire, water, wind and earth and so on.
Philosophically any entity which helps us in anyway is worshipped as God - and the worship is a recognition and thanksgiving gesture. So it is like we recognize the importance of water so wasting or dirtying water is naturally committing a sin. Cutting a tree is considered murder in Hindu religion, so when we do have to cut tree we first appologize to gods about our misdeed.

Answer 6

Inorder to answer u , u have to know some of the differences & similarities between the two religions so lets start from the early begining ,that we believe that Allah has been revealing Himself to mankind since the beginning of time. This revelation began with Prophet Adam (peace be upon him), the first man, and continued throughout history until the time of Muhammad (peace be upon him), the last of the Prophets and Allah's seal on all that had been revealed.
Up until the time of Muhammad (peace be upon him), different prophets had revealed part of Allah's plan. This was given to different people and was meant for them and their time. The revelation to Moses, then, was for the Children of Israel of his day. The revelation to Jesus was also to a people in their own time. The message to Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), as revealed in the ever-glorious Qur'an, was meant for all people in every age, and for all time.
Muslims take great pride in knowing that the Qur'an is totally unaltered since it was first revealed. The Qur'an that we read today is exactly the same as the Qur'an revealed to Muhammad (peace be upon him). In proof of this, different copies of the Qur'an from different centuries and from different parts of the world, all show to be exactly the same. Nothing in them is different. This is most important, since Muslims believe the Qur'an to be the exact words of Almighty Allah as first revealed to Muhammad (peace be upon him).

The exact revelation to Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them both) has been lost. What we have today, in the form of the Old Testament and the New Testament was created by men and has gone through significant alteration and translation over the centuries.
The result of these changes, then is that the basis of what the Jews and the Christians believe has become distorted over time and is the creation of men, rather than the revelation of Almighty Allah. Adam, Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon and Jesus (peace be upon them all) were all prophets of Allah.

In terms of similarities, the three religions have much in common. Much of the moral code in all three is shared. All three believe in one God, although the Christian understanding of this is complicated by the idea of the Trinity.

For Muslims, then, Christians and Jews are people of the Book, since Allah spoke to both of them through his prophets and messengers. As Muslims we hold both Judaism and Christianity in high regard, since both grow out of the revelation of Almighty Allah.
so i hope that this answer to your question has not confused you even more. thanks for asking about muslims.

The first answer that came to my mind is what Jesus said about the many religions:" There are many rooms in my father's house"
