Abstract
A number of Prophets had been raised from the generation of Hazrat Ibrahim (AS) whose followers have founded three main and alive religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) of the present time. The common thing between these three religions is their monotheism. Followers of these religions worship the God of Ibrahim (AS) and believe Him as a creator of them and the whole world. However, when we refer to the sacred texts of Jews and Christians, we see that the concept which is given by Torah and Gospel about God is completely different from that given by the Holy Quran and it is sometimes polytheistic. Now this question arises that what the cause of this inconsistency is. In this paper, by the help of library method and analytical–descriptive approach, principles of faith of monotheistic religions on the basis of unity of divine essence have been studied and an attempt to revise the unity of divine essence in the Holy Quran, unity of divine essence in the Testaments and the Holy Quran approach to the Testaments regarding unity of divine essence has been made. The result of this research showed that Torah and Gospel are acceptable by the Holy Quran but whatever is present nowadays with their name have been distorted and principles of faith contrary to monotheism have been added to them which have been criticized and rejected by the Holy Quran.
