Islam views the Bible as one of the previous scriptures revealed by Allah (God) to the prophets of the Abrahamic tradition, which includes Moses, David, Jesus, and Muhammad (peace be upon them all). 🏵️🏵️

The Quran confirms this in several verses, such as:

"We believe in Allah and that which is revealed to us and that which was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and that which Moses and Jesus received, and that which the prophets received from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and to Him we submit" (Quran 2:136).

Furthermore, the Quran admonishes the people of the scripture (Jews and Christians) to respect the teachings of their own scriptures and to recognize the truth of what has been revealed in the Quran:

"O People of the Scripture! Why do you confuse the truth with falsehood and conceal the truth while you know [it]? And a faction of the People of the Scripture say [to each other], "Believe in that which was revealed to the believers at the beginning of the day and reject it at its end that perhaps they will abandon their religion" (Quran 3:71-72).

Islam is a monotheistic religion that is centered around the belief in the oneness and unity of Allah (God). 🏵️
The Islamic concept of monotheism is known as Tawhid, and it is the central pillar of the Islamic faith.
The belief in Tawhid entails the recognition and affirmation that there is only one God who has no partners or associates.
The Quran emphasizes the oneness of Allah (God) as the fundamental principle of the Islamic faith:

"Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One. Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor is born, nor is there to Him any equivalent" (Quran 112:1-4).

Islamic monotheism rejects the idea of polytheism, which is the worship of multiple gods.
Polytheism is regarded as a form of idolatry, which goes against the fundamental belief in the oneness of Allah (God).
The Quran warns against the practice of polytheism:

"And do not worship besides Allah that which cannot benefit you or harm you, for it is not Allah that you should be worshippers (Quran 21:66).

In Islam, any association of partners with Allah (God) is considered a major sin known as shirk, which is to attribute partners to Allah (God), knowingly or unknowingly.
This is seen as an act of ingratitude towards Allah (God) and is strictly prohibited in Islam.

Islamic monotheism is a comprehensive concept that affects every aspect of a Muslim's life.
It is the foundation of the Islamic belief system and is reflected in the practices and rituals of Muslims, including the daily prayers, fasting, charity, and pilgrimage to Mecca.

Islam also recognizes the diversity of previous beliefs and interpretations, just as it acknowledges the differences within people.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) urged Muslims to engage in respectful dialogue and exchange of ideas with the people of other faiths.
In a famous Hadith (narration), the Prophet said:

"He who does not show mercy to others, Allah will not show mercy to him" (Bukhari).

This Hadith emphasizes the importance of kindness and compassion towards all, regardless of their faith or beliefs.

In the end, Islam upholds the importance of respecting the Bible and the beliefs of Christians, while also acknowledging the differences and contradictions within the text and the diversity of Christian interpretations and practices.
Islamic monotheism rejects the idea of polytheism, and call people to worship Allah alone with no deities.
Muslims are enjoined to engage in respectful dialogue and exchange of ideas with people of all faiths, and to treat others with kindness and compassion.
