            essence of our Lord and toward Prophet Jesus (pbuh), His great messen-
            ger. Our Lord is unsullied by such comparisons, for He is God, Who
            needs nothing, is without any flaw or deficiency, and is the eternal and
            only power. No thing or person can be equivalent to Him.
                 From this statement, it can be seen that Prophet Jesus (pbuh) meets
            only those stipulations regarding serving God. You can see, then, how
            truly superstitious the belief in the trinity is, since it regards Prophet

            Jesus (pbuh), who merely serves God, as being equivalent to God him-
            self. (Surely God is beyond that!)


                           Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) prayers to God


                 Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) prayers also refute the belief in the trinity.
            People who pray is  assumed to have accepted God's existence and
            Oneness, their helplessness before Him, and that only He can help them
            and is worthy of their worship. Prayer is one of the most pleasing forms
            of submission to God and of awareness of one's helplessness. Our Lord is
            unsullied by any imperfection, for He is the Lord of infinite might, Who

            possesses all power and therefore has no needs. Aid and forgiveness can
            be sought only from God. Everyone stands in need of Him, but He
            Himself stands in need of no one. The prayers of Prophet Jesus (pbuh)
            are the most devout indications of his submission to God and his power-
            ful fear [and respect] of Him. According to the Gospels, Prophet Jesus
            (pbuh) prayed both to thank our Lord and to seek His help, for he knew
            that only God could grant his requests:
                 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed.
                 (Matthew 26:39)

                 … and he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves
                 and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks. (Matthew
                 14:19)
