Christians Must Heed
                                              Jesus




                                             God above what they de-
                                              scribe. (Koran, 23:91)
                                                 This verse totally dis-
                                     credits both claims made by those Christians
                        who believe in the Trinity – that Jesus (pbuh) is the son of
                        God and that he has divine status.
                             In the Koran, Almighty God revealed to our Prophet

                         Muhammad (pbuh) that he should respond as follows to
                          those who make such claims:
                       Say: "If the All-Merciful had a son, I would be the first to
                       worship him." (Koran, 43:81)

                          "Failing to properly appreciate God" means not compre-
                 hending the sublime attributes of God set out in verses. If someone
               goes along with belief in the Trinity, then he cannot have understood
               that God rules all things, that He has no need of instruments or
               helpers in order to create, that God could have a child if He wished
               but that He is unfettered by this, that He just says to it "Be" when He
               desires a thing and that all things in the earth and sky have submit-

               ted to His command. God has no need of creating any other deities
               from His essence. God knows what will be born before it is born,
               what will be said before it is spoken, what will be seen before people
               look and what is hidden in their hearts. In short, He knows every-
                    thing from the beginning of time to the end. Our Lord reveals
                     in one verse:
