Not necessarily. Many religions have monks. Monks are people who withdraw from ordinary life to pursue their religious beliefs on a daily basis. So you can have Christian monks, Buddhist monks, Hindu monks, etc. Islam does not have a similar tradition though.
In 1066, monks were commonly referred to as "brothers" or "friars." They dedicated their lives to prayer, meditation, and service to their communities within monasteries or friaries. Their role was central to religious life and education during this period.
