Well there are flames in Christian art too, that’s supposed to represent the Holy Spirit being present in the room. Since Islam is also an Abrahamic religion and overlaps concepts with Christianity it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to say this is what that was too Or Mohammed and crew are just spitting straight heat
Islam is strict about Tahwid, that a singular indivisible person, while the Holy Spirit for most Christians is considered one person co-equal with the persons of the Father and the Son who are also united God. But it is likely a depiction of divinity or possibly the holy spirit in a lesser sense, but not the Christian idea
It’s really strange when Christian’s say they’re monotheistic bc that’s genuinely just not true with the holy trinity, no matter how much people say they’re one entity, but it’s interesting to see how strict monotheism actually gets in Islam. Thanks for the answer!! Really neat stuff
Monotheism as a term was created in the 1660’s, and isnt even accurate to historical Christian belief. Monothelitism is more accurate, the worship of one divine being while acknowledging others exist. Monotheism strictly speaking is thinking only one exists, which is not historically Christian or even pre-Christian doctrine. The understanding of one god in multiple persons is also common in the ancient near-east. Ra for example could be fully the sun and the Pharaoh at the same time.
