Rejection of the Trinity | Quran 5:73 | Misunderstood Quranic Verses | Dr. Shabir Ally

Dr. Shabir Ally discusses Quran 5:73, which addresses the Christian concept of the Trinity. The verse refers to disbelief in those who say Allah is "one in a trinity," and is frequently interpreted as misrepresenting Christian beliefs. Dr. Shabir explains that Christians typically clarify their belief by stating that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are fully God, rather than parts of a whole. However, despite this clarification, some Muslims still perceive it as implying belief in three gods, which Christians reject. Dr. Shabir acknowledges that understanding the Trinity is challenging for both Muslims and some Christians, with even Christian scholars admitting its complexity. Additionally, Dr. Shabir references scholar Sidney Griffith, who suggests that the Quran may use caricatured expressions of belief to prompt reflection and critical thinking.
