The Quran on the Trinity: Understanding God's Oneness - Ali Ataie

Download Slides Here: https://bit.ly/quran-trinity 00:00 Discussion Begins with Dr. Ali Ataie 00:28 The so-called Islamic Dilemma, summarized 10:29 VISUAL: The Quran (the Final Testament) is 3 things - Confirmation, Correction, and Completion - of the Old and New Testaments 13:05 Christians and Jews should follow (the laws and teachings in) their Scriptures 17:38 VISUAL: The Islamic Dilemma - some Christians say that the Quran “copied” the Bible (because there are many commonalities; hence it’s a Confirmation)… while also saying that the Quran contradicts the Bible (the Quran differs i.e. corrects the Bible in certain ways; hence it’s a Correction). This is EXACTLY what you would expect of God’s Final Testament: both Confirmation and Correction. This is the only logical, sensible scenario. If it was only confirmation (all the same), then would be the point? If it was only correction (all different), then it wouldn’t be acceptable. Hence, the Quran is both. 21:55 What is the definition of Monotheism? (and why is the Trinity not monotheism?) 26:48 Does the Quran address the Trinity? Let’s find out… 27:21 Reference I: Chapter 4, Verse 171 (4:171) 32:47 The concept of the Trinity is explicitly mentioned in the Quran but NOT in the Bible 37:05 Reference I (cont’d): Chapter 43, Verse 45 - Ask the previous messengers if they ever said to worship anyone besides God? 41:33 Reference I (cont’d): Chapter 2, Verses 130-140 - Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, and ALL the Prophets of God were muslim i.e. they submitted and devoted themselves to God alone. They had the same belief, the same message. 44:36 You can’t extract the Trinity from the Bible (looking at it objectively, without any preconceived biases); you have to read the Trinity into the Bible. 46:22 Reference II: Chapter 5, Verse 17 - Do not say ‘three’ (any and all forms of the Trinity); God is absolutely One 53:26 Reference III: Chapter 5, Verse 72 57:14 Reference IV: Chapter 5, Verses 73-74 1:07:03 Recap Thus Far (Remaining timestamps to be added soon, God willing.)

Christians—and many Muslims—are surprised to learn that the Quran directly addresses core Christian beliefs, including the concept of the Trinity and the divinity of Jesus (peace be upon him). How does God respond to these claims? What does the Quran, the Final Testament, teach us about God’s absolute Oneness? In this session, Dr. Ali Ataie explores Quranic verses that mention the Trinity and challenge the idea of Jesus as God’s son. Discover how the Quran upholds God’s Oneness while honoring Jesus as one of the greatest prophets and servants of God. This session is essential for Muslims seeking clarity on these theological differences and for fostering meaningful interfaith dialogue. Christian friends are warmly invited to watch and gain insights from a leading scholar on this profound topic.
