Question: In the monotheistic tradition, how is the idea of the saint alike and different from what we have seen in the idea of the hero? Use specific examples from the lives of Hebrew, Christian, and/or Islamic figures to document your assertions.(Subject:Humanities)

Solution: Monotheistic tradition means believing the concept of one God. Key religions in the world such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are being classified as monotheistic, and the preeminent examples of monotheists are Jesus, Mohammed prophet, Noah, Abraham and others. The idea of the saint and hero is alike in the sense that throughout their lives they have a purpose and they fight or live for the same. However, the idea of the saint is different from the idea of the hero in the way that a hero is being reminded by the people after the death which may happen due to the fight for the cause which he has been fighting throughout his life as a saint. Moreover heroes are people who keep on fighting as a saint until and unless the purpose is solved. For instance Jesus who kept on fighting for a cause (God is one and omnipresent) as a saint. But people realized his heroism only after he died while fighting for a cause which he had been reiterating since the beginning as a saint. Same is the case with Prophet Muhammad who was a firm believer of Allah and taught his followers the sayings of Quran. Throughout his life he taught his followers that God is one and universal. However, he became hero fought with people who were against God and after winning the purpose which led people to believe that there is only one God Allah.
