۞ وَقَالَ ٱللَّهُ لَا تَتَّخِذُوٓاْ إِلَٰهَيۡنِ ٱثۡنَيۡنِۖ إِنَّمَا هُوَ إِلَٰهٞ وَٰحِدٞ فَإِيَّٰيَ فَٱرۡهَبُونِ
[21]. This emphasizes pure monotheism (tawḥīd)—the belief in the absolute Oneness of God —and firmly rejects any form of associating partners with Him. The divine command, “Do not take two gods,” is not confined to literal dualism; rather, it is a rebuke against polytheism in all its forms, calling humanity to direct all reverence, obedience, and fear to Allāh alone.
Allāh—God, the One and Only—is not triune. He is Unique, without partners or equals. To Him alone belongs the Dominion, and to Him alone is all praise.
It is noteworthy that the word “Trinity” is never mentioned even once in the Bible. The only reference often cited is the account of Jesus’ baptism in Matthew 3:13, 16–17, where the three are clearly distinct—thus negating the idea of “three in one.” The concept further collapses in Matthew 24:35–36: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Lord only.”
Other translations even include the phrase, “Not even me,” referring to Jesus himself. This distinction confirms that Allāh alone is All-Knowing and All-Powerful, while His prophets—Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (peace be upon them all)—were His chosen messengers and servants, not divine beings. God is One, a single, indivisible Being. To worship Jesus, his mother Mary, or any other creation as Allāh is to violate the very core of monotheism and directly contradict the First and Second Commandments found in Exodus 20:3–6 (KJV): “Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.”
This command clearly forbids idolatry—a practice sadly seen in some churches that display painted images of “Jesus” or statues of the crucifixion. Such portrayals contradict the spirit of divine revelation and the purity of worship that belongs to Allāh alone, the Ever-Living, the Eternal, Who neither begets nor is begotten.
