Islam completely eradicated Arab paganism and forbids associating partners with Allah.

Muslims often emphasize the strict monotheism in Islam, where associating partners with Allah is considered the gravest sin. However, the teachings of Islam also highlight the significant role of Muhammad, where his name is mentioned alongside Allah's in prayers and declarations of faith. This intertwining of their names suggests a partnership that contradicts the very essence of Islamic monotheism. For instance, the Quran commands believers to obey both Allah and His Messenger, which can be interpreted as elevating Muhammad to a status that is not in line with the strict monotheism that Islam professes. Furthermore, various hadiths illustrate that the mention of Muhammad is inseparable from the mention of Allah, indicating a partnership that is not permitted in the context of Islamic theology. Thus, while Islam claims to have eradicated paganism, it inadvertently establishes a form of partnership that challenges its foundational principles.
