From a historical point of view, as a youth, Muhammad engaged in the worship of all the 360 pagan gods in the Kabah of Mecca, owned and run by the Quraish tribe of which Muhammad was a member in good standing.
As Muhammad grew up, Christians influenced him (monotheists) who condemned the polytheism at the Kabah. In Muhammad's life, the Christians convinced him that Polytheism was wrong and sought to reject the 360 pagan gods he had grown up with. Through the influence and education of Roman Catholic Christians, they influenced Mohammed into the idea of monotheism. However, because he was proud of his tradition of nationalist ethnic Arabism, Muhammad chose not to embrace an entirely new faith such as Christianity, rather he decided to "reform" his indigenous pagan religion. Muhammad then took the highest pagan deity of the Kabah in Mecca and selected it as the new monotheistic god of his.
This god was considered the highest god in Kabah among other gods. The strategy of Muhammad was simple. Muhammad actually banned the other 359 pagan gods and preferred the remaining one to be the one and only one deity rather than converting the Arab people to the monotheism of Christianity... What Muslims call "Allah" now. Islam has therefore been born.
If Muhammad was trying to convert one of his fellow pagan Arabs to monotheism, the conversation probably went something like this: Muhammad:
"You know, worshipping all these pagan gods is really silly. There must be a supreme god, a "THE GOD". (the god is what Allah actually means) We already refer to the chief or head of the Kabah as "Allah", let's continue to worship that god, but do away with all the others. I don't want to discard Allah, the Lord of the Kabah that we already worship, rather I only want to remove his wife and his daughters and all the other gods. And let's never refer to Allah again as "Hubal" or call him the moon god, because Allah, being our new monotheistic supreme god, created the moon."
