A great emphasis is placed upon ''"tawheed"'', which means worshiping only Allah and no other gods <ref>''"...The man asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) What is Islam?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Islam is to worship Allah and not worship anything besides Him..."'' {{Bukhari|6|60|300}}</ref>. Muslims repeat phrases like "No god, but Allah!" (''la ilaha illa allah'') or "Allah is the greatest!" (''Allahu Akbar'') to emphasize the rejection of other gods. Polytheists are called ''Mushrik'' and polytheism is called ''shirk'' and Islam even accuses other monotheistic religions, like Christianity of committing ''shirk'' (claiming Jesus is the son of God is a type of ''shirk''). Similarly fundamental to the religion is the belief in the [[Uswa Hasana|perfection]] of Muhammad in all parts of his life. Muhammad's way of life is called the [[sunnah]], and this is studied through what was alleged to have been transmitted of Muhammad's saying in the [[Hadith|hadiths]] and [[sira]]. | A great emphasis is placed upon ''"tawheed"'', which means worshiping only Allah and no other gods <ref>''"...The man asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) What is Islam?"

Islam is considered to be one of Abrahamic religions, as the Qur'an builds on much of the content of the Bible. The Qur'an talks about Abraham, Moses and Jesus (however, Jesus is considered to be only a prophet, and not the son of God). The Qur'an refers frequently Jewish, Christian and pagan myths which were wide-spread in 7th century Arabia. | Islam is considered to be one of Abrahamic religions, as the Qur'an builds on much of the content of the Bible.
