Monism is the theory that states that all aspects of reality can be explained by a single principle or substance. It asserts that there is ultimately only one fundamental kind of thing in existence. Examples of monism include substance monism, which posits that everything is made of the same substance, and idealist monism, which holds that all reality is mentally constructed.

Monism is any philosophical view which holds that there is unity in a given field of inquiry, where this is not to be expected. William H Halverson (A Concise Introduction to Philosophy) defines monism as the view that the whole of reality consists of various determinations of some one ultimate substance, or kind of "stuff". The principal forms of monism are materialism (all is matter), idealism (all is mind) and neutral monism (all is some substance that is neither mind nor matter - perhaps energy). He defines moral evil as anything that is generally regarded as evil as a result of a deliberate act by a human being. Here he differentiates natural evil, which is merely the result of natural forces, such as storms or disease.
The definition of God as transcendent, omnipotent and perfectly good ought to mean that there is no evil or suffering, so the apparent contradiction that evil and suffering exist is known as the problem of evil and suffering, and is a theistic problem. Since most definitions of monism eventually find that there is no God, monism typically does not need to address this problem of evil and suffering.

Monism is not controversial in Islam. All Muslims believe that Allah (God in English) is the Creator of all the universe including all what we know and what what we don't know and they believe that every thing in this universe is under the control and will of Allah, the one and only one God.
AnswerMonism assumes the totality of a single reality, with all the diverse phenomena of the natural world merely different manifestations of the same reality. It holds that there is no real difference between the creator and the creature. Thus in monism, the concept of an individual, personal God does not exist.Mainstream Islam holds the opposite view, that there is indeed a personal God. If there is a controversy regarding monism in Islam, it is that Sufism has, to some extent, incorporated monistic concepts. Sufism is therefore held by the majority of Islamic scholars to be an incorrect interpretation, not truly representative of Islam.

The four philosophical solutions to the mind-body problem are dualism, materialism, idealism, and neutral monism. Dualism posits that the mind and body are separate entities, materialism asserts that only physical matter exists, idealism suggests that reality is fundamentally mental, and neutral monism proposes that mind and matter are two aspects of a single substance.

Descartes' dualism stated that the mind and body were distinct and occupied different planes of reality. A monism theory of reality believes that there is only one reality, and would state that the mind and body are connected. Pluralism believes that there are many realities, not just two, so the mind and body might be distinct, but there would also be other planes of reality.

Monotheism is a metaphysical duality by definition - in that it isolates a single god and everything else in the universe: as disparate entities.
Monoism (as indoctrinated by Sri AdiSankara's Advaita (and Spinoza's Monism too)) - believes in the oneness of all that there is in the universe.
Advaitic Monism is summed up by four of these aphorisms:
* ahambrahmasmi - "I am brahman" (where brahma == the eternal supreme consciousness of the universe
* ayamAtmabrahma - "The Atman is brahman" (Where the Atma is the self)
* prajnAM brahma - "Consciousness is the brahman"
* tattvamasi - "That Thou Art"
Shankara also quotes, famously in the vivEkacUdAmaNi - "Brahma satyaM jagat mithyA jIvO brahmaiva nAparaH" - literally, "Ultimately, there is no difference between the self and the eternal - They are one and the same".
This Advaitic consciousness however manifests to the unenlightened in deceptive facets of duality - which are labelled as 'prAtibhAshika' and 'vyAvahArika' respectively. The 'pArAmartha' level of realization is the truest and ultimate.

This is a difficult answer to give because there appears to be Monist tendencies in Hassidim Judaism with its related Qabbalism and yet Mammonaides and Ravi Gaon softened or rejected it. The key factor revolves around the the basis upon which God can be immanent (with or in His creation) without compromising his overall transcendence (His independence from it). There is a consensus that Judaism fits more within the mode of Monadism, as this keeps a balance between the Immanence and Transcendence of God. My understanding of this therefore renders Judaism a Monadistic Monism.

No, it is not. We do not believe that we are made of the same essence as God or that created things are merely an extension of His being. We believe that we are all distinct individuals capable of direct relationship with God. The indwelling of God in a Christian is just that: God residing within a person.

Parmenides is known for his philosophy of monism, which posits that reality is a single, unchanging, and eternal entity. He also argued that change and motion are illusory, and that true knowledge comes from reason rather than sensory experience.

Theistic dualism is the belief that there are two opposing forces in the universe, usually a good force and an evil force, both controlled by a higher power or deity. This differs from other philosophical beliefs, such as monism, which believe in a single ultimate reality, and atheism, which denies the existence of any deity or higher power.

Before the influence by Europe, the Cherokee's belief system consisted of (what is defined as) a Pantheism "Good is rewarded, bad is punished" system. After being exposed to "Christians" (European Monotheism) Native Americans rejected the system, so the system was changed to a monism or Unitarian type system so it was more widely accepted among them (however in doing so they reverted their own religion to Pantheism).

Spinoza proposed three modes: substance, attributes, and modes. Substance is the fundamental essence of reality, attributes are the ways in which substance is expressed, and modes are the specific manifestations of attributes. These modes help Spinoza explain the interconnectedness of all things and how they are all expressions of the same underlying substance, contributing to his overall philosophical framework of monism and determinism.

A 'monastery' is a house for a community of monks or nuns. As far as I am aware, there is no such word as 'monistary'. I cannot find it in any of my dictionaries. You may be thinking of 'monistic', the adjective derived from the noun 'monism' (the theory that there is only one category of being). Alternatively, you may just have come across a misspelling of the word 'monastery'.
