Muslims believe that Allah cannot be held equal in any way to other beings or concepts. He is unique and supreme. It is for this reason that Muslims reject the concept of the [[Trinity]], perceived by Muslims as probably the most significant threat to their view of the unity of God. The concept of the Trinity is held by most [[Christian]]s, who describe God as existing in three persons, [[God the Father|Father]], [[Jesus|Son]], and [[Holy Spirit]]. The Trinity is considered by Christians to be ''one unique and supreme'' [[being]] or [[essence]] (i.e. a non-human being), manifest in three distinct and divine (i.e. non-human) [[person]]s. The second person of the Trinity was united to [[human]]ity in the [[incarnation]] of [[Jesus]] the [[Christ]], the son of [[Mary]] (cf. [[Chalcedonian Creed]]). Christians consider the doctrine of the Trinity to be consistent with the unity of God, and not [[idolatry|idolatrous]] (cf. [[Nicene Creed]] and [[Athanasian Creed]]). Muslims consider this belief to be [[Shirk (idolatry)|shirk]], i.e. idolatrous. |

Views of God
Muslims believe that Allah cannot be held equal in any way to other beings or concepts. He is unique and supreme. It is for this reason that Muslims reject the concept of the Trinity, perceived by Muslims as probably the most significant threat to their view of the unity of God. The concept of the Trinity is held by most Christians, who describe God as existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Trinity is considered by Christians to be one unique and supreme being or essence (i.e. a non-human being), manifest in three distinct and divine (i.e. non-human) persons. The second person of the Trinity was united to humanity in the incarnation of Jesus the Christ, the son of Mary (cf. Chalcedonian Creed). Christians consider the doctrine of the Trinity to be consistent with the unity of God, and not idolatrous (cf. Nicene Creed and Athanasian Creed). Muslims consider this belief to be shirk, i.e. idolatrous.
