First, let’s review the Trinity in Christianity. The Trinity in Christianity is GOD/YHWH, who is GOD and who is three persons, God the Father, God the Son/Word and God the Spirit. In the picture of the stained glass above and below, there’s Jesus as God the Son, the Dove as God the Holy Spirit and God the Father.
Sam Shamoun shows the concepts of the Trinity in Christianity.

This picture helps to keep the relationships of the Trinity coherent in your mind:
The relationships, “is” and “is not”, can be read, either way, left to right, right to left.
But, Infidel, the Trinity is NOT in the Koran! But it is, and I’ll show you there are THREE references to Trinity in the Koran:
And We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear proofs and supported him with the Pure Spirit.
Excerpt, Koran 2:87
Note the “We”, a plurality of beings in Heaven, and surely not a demon intent upon telling a truth by telling lies, right? So “We” is the Godhead and God the Father, which is GOD/YHWH and the first part of the Trinity. Then “Jesus, the son of Mary” is the second part of the trinity, Jesus the WORD and Jesus the Man. The final part of the trinity is “the Pure Spirit” or Holy Spirit, the third member of the Trinity.
And We gave Jesus, the Son of Mary, clear proofs, and We supported him with the Pure Spirit.
Excerpt, Koran 2:253
Again, there’s “We”, a plurality of beings in Heaven, and surely not a demon intent upon telling a truth by telling lies, right? So “We” is the Godhead and God the Father, which is GOD/YHWH and the first part of the Trinity. Then “Jesus, the son of Mary” is the second part of the trinity, Jesus the WORD and Jesus the Man. The final part of the trinity is “the Pure Spirit” or Holy Spirit, the third member of the Trinity.
The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him.
Excerpt, Koran 4:171
This version is slightly different. First, there’s Jesus, the Messiah, the son of Mary, God the Son. Then there’s “a messenger of Allah”, which is Jesus telling the gospel and “His word” the title of Jesus, the Word of God. Muhammad uses “Allah” instead of God, for God the Father. And “a soul from Him” is the Holy Spirit “from Him” the Godhead.
Trinity copied from the Torah
Muhammad includes Trinity references in the Torah as well:
11:69 And certainly did Our messengers come to Abraham with good tidings; they said, “Peace.”
He said, “Peace,” and did not delay in bringing [them] a roasted calf.
70 But when he saw their hands not reaching for it, he distrusted them and felt from them apprehension.
They said, “Fear not. We have been sent to the people of Lot.”
71 And his Wife was standing, and she smiled. Then We gave her good tidings of Isaac and after Isaac, Jacob.
72 She said, “Woe to me! Shall I give birth while I am an old woman and this, my husband, is an old man? Indeed, this is an amazing thing!”
73 They said, “Are you amazed at the decree of Allah? May the mercy of Allah and His blessings be upon you, people of the house. Indeed, He is Praiseworthy and Honorable.”
Koran 11:69-73
15:51 And inform them about the guests of Abraham, 52 When they entered upon him and said, “Peace.”
[Abraham] said, “Indeed, we are fearful of you.”
53 [The angels] said, “Fear not. Indeed, we give you good tidings of a learned boy.”
54 He said, “Have you given me good tidings although old age has come upon me? Then of what [wonder] do you inform?”
55 They said, “We have given you good tidings in truth, so do not be of the despairing.”
56 He said, “And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord except for those astray?”
57 [Abraham] said, “Then what is your business [here], O messengers?”
58 They said, “Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals, 59 Except the family of Lot; indeed, we will save them all 60 Except his wife.”
Allah decreed that she is of those who remain behind.
Koran 15:51-60
And when Our messengers [i.e., angels] came to Abraham with the good tidings, they said, “Indeed, we will destroy the people of that [i.e., Lot’s] city. Indeed, its people have been wrongdoers.”
Koran 29:31
51:24 Has there reached you the story of the honored guests of Abraham?
25 When they entered upon him and said, “[We greet you with] peace.”
He answered, “[And upon you] peace; [you are] a people unknown.”
26 Then he went to his family and came with a fat [roasted] calf.
27 And placed it near them; he said, “Will you not eat?”
28 And he felt from them apprehension.
They said, “Fear not,” and gave him good tidings of a learned boy.
29 And his wife approached with a cry [of alarm] and struck her face and said, “[I am] a barren old woman!”
30 They said, “Thus has said your Lord; indeed, He is the Wise, the Knowing.”
31 [Abraham] said, “Then what is your business [here], O messengers?”
32 They said, “Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals 33 To send down upon them stones of clay, 34 Marked in the presence of your Lord for the transgressors.”
35 So We brought out whoever was in them [i.e., the cities] of the believers.
36 And We found not within them other than a [single] house of Muslims.
37 And We left therein a sign for those who fear the painful punishment.
Koran 51:24-37
18 The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. 2 Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground.
NIV Genesis 18:1-2
There are other references in the Koran to Jesus and his special Trinitarian relationships as well.
Koran 11:110
And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord
Koran 11:110
The “word” should be “Word” and refers to the Word or Jesus, the Son of “your Lord” or God the Father. This refers to Jesus as the Word, which is from Christian doctrine, which comes from the Bible.
Koran 97
In chapter 97 of the Koran, notice the three components of Allah:
1 We sent the Qur’an down during the Night of Decree
4 The angels and the Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord for every matter.
Koran 97
There are the angels, who are creations of “Allah” from light. There’s the “Qur’an” or Word of Allah, then there’s the “Spirit”, and there’s “their Lord” or Allah. Thus, Allah is three. This is either shirk by Muhammad assigning “Qur’an” and “the Spirit” as companions to Allah or it’s Muhammad copying and corrupting Christian doctrine derived from the Bible.
I suggest it’s most likely that Muhammad was copying from the Christians: “Qur’an” being the Word or Jesus, “Spirit” being the Spirit of God, and “Allah” is God. And of course, copying from the Christians, while nonsensically claiming that two persons of the Christian Trinity come down during Ramadan when they don’t, shows Muhammad was a stupid liar and braggart.

What’s NOT the Trinity?
Here’s Muhammad preaching about a FALSE Trinity, which is a straw man, or wrong impression in his own mind:
And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, “O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, ‘Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah?'”
Excerpt, Koran 5:116
No one teaches this false trinity, except Muhammad and Muslims, misinformed by the Koran. In the past, Mecca hosted proto-Catholics, Christians, who put an icon or picture of Mary and Baby Jesus in the Kaaba, with the permission of the religiously tolerant Quraysh tribe. Something like this, but more primitive:
This was placed against the “legs” of the statue of Allah in the middle of the Kaaba. There the Christians venerated Mary, praying through Mary to Jesus and God. This is a standard Catholic doctrine now, that is permissible under Protestantism as well. Muhammad saw and overheard this and got the wrong impression, thinking the Christians were idol worshippers, worshipping Mary as a deity along with Jesus in partnership with God in last place:
And [beware the Day] when Allah will say, “O Jesus, Son of Mary, did you say to the people, ‘Take me and my mother as deities besides Allah?'”
Excerpt, Koran 5:116
Naturally, Muhammad getting this wrong shows that he’s not informed by a real, omniscient god and not corrected by an omnipotent god by Muhammad’s doctrine of Abrogation. Thus Allah is false, which means Muhammad, Koran and Islam are all incoherent nonsense, and false.
Muhammad was a false prophet, for a false god, Allah, for a false religion, Islam, without even a false book, the Koran.
