The Doctrine of Trinity and Its Refutation:
In the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, there is no room for the divinity of Jesus (peace be upon him); Jesus (peace be upon him) himself always presented himself only as a human being. The doctrine of Trinity and the divinity of Christ became prevalent in the fourth century CE. The foundation of this doctrine was laid upon the ideas and philosophies of Greek thought, just as nowadays some Muslims also try to prove Muhammad ﷺ as a part of Allah’s light based on the philosophical concept of the “Ten Intellects.” Such beliefs generally flourish among spiritual leaders and ascetics. Such ideas about the Prophets usually arise due to excess in devotion and love, which leads a person to elevate them to the rank of Allah; this is clear shirk, and Allah Almighty has sometimes called such people disbelievers and sometimes polytheists. Thus, among the very important advices that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gave to his Ummah before his passing was this: “Do not exaggerate about me as the Christians exaggerated about Jesus son of Mary. I am only Allah’s servant and His Messenger.” [بخاري۔ كتاب الانبيائ۔ باب قول الله واذكر فى الكتاب مريم]
