Quran, Muslim Scholars and Trinity: An Analytical Study of Norman L. Geisler’s Views

Abstract

The foundational belief in Christianity is Trinity. This teaching holds that God is
actually a triune being, consisting of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
The phrase "trinity" does not appear in the Bible, and the closest text to the idea
of a trinity is (John 10:30), which states, "I and the Father are one." However,
Christian academics often take this verse out of context. The term "trinity" (تثلیث (
has been mentioned in the Quran (Al- isa: 171, Al Maeda: 73), although the
Quran neglects any explanation of the distinctive characteristics of the Trinity's
members. The Quran presents a false understanding of the Trinity, according to
the American philosopher and theologian Norman L. Geisler, who uses Al
Maeda:116 in his book "Answering Islam: The Crescent in Light of the Cross”.
In this article, the mention of Ayah will be explained in the context of the
opinions of well-known Muslim exegetists.
