Islam is just such an example. Belief in the one God Allah (translated as 'the god').

Roman Catholic AnswerThe only and classic monotheistic religion is Judaism. Then the offspring of Judaism (or the completion of it, depending on your point of view) Christianity. The third, much later monotheistic religion was Islam.

from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980

Monotheism. The belief that there is only one God, who is the Creator of the universe. It is first of all theism, because it recognizes the existence of a personal God, with mind and will, who is really distinct from the world he created. It is therefore not monism, which identifies God and the universe. Moreover it affirms that this personal and transcendent God is uniquely one and not plural, hence it is opposed to polytheism and dualism. (Etym. Greek monos, single + theos, god.)
