  The Holy Qur'an refers to the Christian Trinity and rejects it but this issue poses a question: does Qur'an reject a kind of Trinity which has been prevalent during the time of the advent of Islam in the Hedjaz (Arabia) or completely reject the whole idea? It has been said by some Christian writers that there are two differences between the Trinity which is rejected by the Holy Qur'an and the orthodox Christian Trinity; firstly it speaks of Trinity as tri-Gods and not "one Essence in three persons", secondly Qur'an's Trinity includes "God, Jesus and Mary" and not "the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit". By collecting the related verses of the Qur'an and referring to some commentaries, these writers try to prove their theory. On the other hand, some Christian writers have claimed that Holy Qur'an not only does not reject the Trinity but also confirmed it. In their arguments, they mention two other terms, i.e., "the word" and "the spirit" which alluded to the Jesus in the Qur'an. We believe that the interpretation of these Christian writers is incorrect and the evidence shows that the Qur'an rejects the prevalent Trinity and not "Tri-Gods" and Trinity for Qur'an does not include "God, Jesus and Mary" but "the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit".
