The Jews and Christians were saying God is and was one way before Islam's prophet was born. It is an imperfectly borrowed concept, IMHO, just as is the virgin birth of Jesus which came from the NT Bible first!
If you see that the concept of a one God in Islam is just borrowed from Judaism and Christianity, then actually there is no use of this discussion, you just have fixed ideas that you don't want to change.
God is one, this is a fact. God sent his messengers, for example Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad peace be upon them all. God told every messenger to tell the people that he is one and there is no god other than him.
We can make stupid claims, you can claim that the concept of one God in Islam is borrowed from both Judaism and Christianity, a jewish can claim that Jesus Pbuh borrowed the concept of one God from Moses Pbuh, an atheist can claim that Moses Pbuh borrowed the concept of one God from the pharoah Akhenaten, there is no limit to such stupid claims.
Regarding the virgin birth, and your claim that Islam borrowed it from the NT, I answered this stupid silly ridiculous claim many times but you just keep repeating the same claim.
Again I will repeat the answer of this stupid claim for the last time. The virgin birth story is a true story. Luke knew about this story because he did an effort to know evrything about Christ since the beginning of his life, so he wrote this story in his message to Theophilus. Later on, the church took the message of Luke to Theophilus and considered it the word of God and made it a part of the NT.
600 years later, God sent prophet Muhammad to mankind, and he sent a book with him, the holy Quran. In this book, God mentioned the stories of some of the previous prophets, one of them was prophet Jesus Pbuh, since his birth was a miracle showing the power of God, God mentined the story of his virgin birth in the holy Quran.
Yet, God mentioned in the holy Quran some details about the virgin birth that were not mentioned in the message of Luke to Theophilus, which was later on considered as the word of God by the church.
God mentioned in the holy Quran that virgin Mary was sad at the time of the birth of Jesus and she wished that she died before it, because she was afraid that the people will say that she committed adultery and Jesus Pbuh spoke to her just after his birth and told her not to be sad and to eat dates and drink water and be pleased and not to answer people when they attack her and claim that she committed adultery, and when the people saw her carrying him they began to think that she committed adultery but she pointed to her kid Jesus Pbuh and he spoke and that his first words to the people were ( I am the servant of God) and he told the people that God made him a prophet. All these details were not mentioned in Luke's message to Theophilus, which was later on considered by the church to be the word of God, but were mentioned in the holy Quran.
