Islam is a pure monotheistic religion. Which means it is a religion that teaches us there is only one God that has the right to be worshiped and everything else that exists is God's creation. Further more, Islam teaches us that God exists outside his creation. That God is unique, has no son nor partner, there is none co-equal or comparable unto him, he is all powerful, none can harm or benefit him and none has the right to be worshipped but him alone.
