TAWHEED VS TRINITY

 Tawheed Vs Trinity

First I would like to start of my saying I’m a Muslim, so if there is anything wrong in my understanding of the concept of trinity, please point it out to me. Nor is this an attack on Christianity but a means to open a discussion and for us to reach an understanding.The trinity is the belief that there are three distinct beings (the father, the son and the Holy Ghost) and that these are actually all part of one but in three different forms.tawheed is the pure oneness and uniqueness of god, no partners, no sons or daughters, nothing in his creation resembles him and we cannot even comprehend Allah (swt), what Allah (swt) looks like, his state of being or his greatness. Just one god, who created the heavens and the earth. He is independent of his creation and completely unique. His attributes and names are not like those of humans, ie, his anger and mercy and etc.We believe that in Islam, there is something called the fitra, which is the natural disposition god has created humans with. It’s the natural pattern and innate way god has created them with, that’s why sometimes you see agnostics saying, I believe in one omnipotent supreme being. They are describing the god of Islam. While the trinity cannot be the fitra, because it’s not something that’s innate in human nature to believe and incline towards.So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to truth. [Adhere to] the fitrah of Allah upon which He has created [all] people. No change should there be in the creation of Allah. That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know. (30:30)

the bible says:

So, God created man in his own image, In the Image of God he created him; Male and female he created them. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. (Genesis 1: 27, 31)

The Quran says there is none like god in his creation. God is not some man watching over us with a big white beard from the clouds, which many people like to mock religion by saying.

Surah Ikhlas

Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;

Allah, the Eternal, Absolute;

He begetteth not, nor is He begotten;

And there is none like unto Him

The word assamad in verse two here is difficult to translate. It means absolute existence, which can only be attributed to god. All other existence being temporal or conditional. It also means that god is not dependent on anyone or anything but that all things are dependent on god.

Other verses

“You (Alone) we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help (for each and everything)” [Al-Fatihah 1:5]

“That is Allah, your Lord!. There is no god but He, the Creator of all things. Then worship Him, and He has the power to dispose of all affairs” [Al-An’am 6:102]

god does not eat nor drink and is self sufficient

While the trinity would mean that god ate food. The Quran says god does not eat food and that god is self sufficient. Food is only a means created by god to sustain his creation and for us to be dependent on him and grateful to. How could an omnipotent being eat and drink, it would mean god had a dependency while god is independent.The Messiah, son of Mary, was not but a messenger; [other] messengers have passed on before him. And his mother was a supporter of truth. They both used to eat food. Look how We make clear to them the signs; then look how they are deluded. (5:75)

nor is god created but creates

And those they invoke other than Allah create nothing, and they [themselves] are created. (16:20)

God has not a son nor daughter

john 3:16 says

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

While the Quran says god does not beget and is not begotten. And how could god beget or be begotten, because the word implies a child coming about through sexual intercourse. And exalted is god above such a thing. Begetting is an animal act, and makes no sense to attribute it to god, because it’s something god has put in human nature as a way to reproduce.

The Quran says:

And it is not appropriate for the Most Merciful that He should take a son.

There is no one in the heavens and earth but that he comes to the Most Merciful as a servant.

He has enumerated them and counted them a [full] counting.

And all of them are coming to Him on the Day of Resurrection alone. (19:92-95)

So then one might ask, if Jesus didn’t have a father, then how did he come about?

Indeed, the example of Jesus to Allah is like that of Adam. He created Him from dust; then He said to him, "Be," and he was. (3:59)
