The concept of God is very much engraved in the roots of man. Its a different thing that you disagree with the concepts of God in another faith than complete denial of God. Isn’t it?

The non-believers of Arabs believed in Allah. When they were asked ‘who created land and sky’, they used to reply ‘Allah’. They just had created shareek (partner of God). Whenever, they faced difficult circumstances, they used to call ‘Allah’ forgetting other ‘gods’. Their problem was with the Prophet, because he was preaching for the only one God. People of Makka used to think that they will lose all trade if these gods are abandoned, as people all over the Arab world used to visit their gods (whose moortis were placed in Kaaba). It was not about the gods but about the losing of trade and then status-quo, which made them severe enemy of the Prophet.

Concept of one and only one God is not only the domain of Abrahamic religions and I think you know that it even exists in Hinduism.

Not really true. The concept of God evolved over time. It started with nature worshipping transformed to Polytheism and branched into monotheism. If anyone were attributing partners to Allah, they were only doing something their ancestors did. To claim Monotheism is the only way is arrogance based on faith not logic. As for Hinduism, you are both right and wrong. There is monotheistic philosophy but Hinduism also encompasses polytheism, pantheism, monoism and Atheism. It does not regard one philosophy superior to the other claim it is the right one. It is upto the individual to seek and discover like a verse from the Rigveda says: Who really knows?
Who will here proclaim it?
Whence was it produced? Whence is this creation?
The gods came afterwards, with the creation of this universe.
Who then knows whence it has arisen? (Sorry for the caps, can’t see to get rid of it )
