comprehension and that it does not have to be understood; it suffices to just accept it as
a matter of faith.
Islam preaches a plain and simple belief in the oneness of God, affirming the uniqueness
of Allah and stating that He has no partners. He is self-sufficient, all creation depends on
Him while depends on no one. He neither begets, nor was He begotten; He has neither
a wife nor a son; no one is comparable to Him, and He has no partners whatsoever. Jesus
preached the oneness of God, as is plainly shown in this dialogue quoted from the
Bible: "I speak what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have
seen from your father." They answered and said to Him, "Abraham is our
father." Jesus said to them, "If you were Abraham's children, you would do the
works of Abraham. But now you seek to kill Me, a Man[4] who has told you the
truth which I heard from God." (John 8/38-40)
We also read, "And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true
God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. I have glorified You on the earth.
I have finished the work which You have given Me to do." (John 17/3-4)
The Qur'an stresses the oneness of God in chapter 112, "Say, 'He is Allah, [who is]
One; Allah, the Eternal Refuge. He neither begets nor was He begotten, and
there is none comparable to Him.'" It also states in 4/171, "People of the Book!
Do not go to excess in your religion. Say nothing but the truth about Allah. The
Messiah, Jesus son of Mary, was only the Messenger of Allah and His Word,
which He cast into Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So have faith in Allah and His
Messengers. Do not say, ´Three.´ It is better that you stop. Allah is only One
God. He is too Glorious to have a son! Everything in the heavens and in the
earth belongs to Him. Allah suffices as a Guardian." It further states in 5/73-
74, "They surely disbelieve who say, 'Allah is the third of three,' when there is
no god except one God. If they do not desist from so saying, a painful
punishment will fall on those of them who disbelieve. Will they not then turn
to Allah and seek His forgiveness? For Allah is Forgiving and Merciful."
The only text in the entire Bible that "supports" the doctrine of the Trinity is in the first
Epistle of John, chapter 5, verse 7: "For there are three who bear witness in
heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are
one." Strangely enough, this text was removed from the New Revised Standard
Version (RSV) of the Bible and others,[5] after Christian scholars discovered that it was
