hristianity is divided into various denominations,
                             which, over time, became divided into different
                         branches. Each of these different branches interprets the
            New Testament in its own way and has developed its own practices.
            However, the great majority of them consider the trinity to be the essence
            of their belief.

                 A few of these groups rejected this belief and, as a result, were
            fought and persecuted as heretics by the proponents of the trinity, who
            were always in the majority and gradually converted the Christian
            world, forcibly or otherwise, to this belief. Apart from certain minority
            groups we shall be seeing in the sections that follow, the belief in the trin-
            ity was generally accepted in, or imposed on, the Christian world.
                 As has been made clear from the start of this book, belief in the trin-
            ity is in complete contradiction to the Qur'an. Statements in the New

            Testament clearly reveal that at no time did Prophet Jesus (pbuh) ever
            make such a claim, or even implied that he was part of a triune God.
            Personally, he always praised and glorified God. In any case, this is one
            area on which present-day opponents of belief in the trinity concentrate
            the most—on the fully human nature of Prophet Jesus (pbuh).


                    The life of Prophet Jesus (pbuh) refutes the Trinity


                 For centuries, the information in the New Testament about Prophet
            Jesus' (pbuh) life, message, and wise advice has been ignored, because
            belief in the trinity confuses people to such an extent that they accord
            him divine status and hope that he will help them.
                 According to the Qur'an, Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is a messenger sent

            by God to warn people and to perform the miracles that He willed until
