The Trinity in the Qur'an

The word "Trinity" only appears in the Qur'an in verses [Qur'an 4:171] and [Qur'an 5:73]:

O People of the Book, commit no excesses in your religion; nor say of God anything but the truth. The Qur’an ( القرآن, literally "the recitation" also sometimes transliterated as Qur’ān, Koran, Alcoran The Qur’an ( القرآن, literally "the recitation" also sometimes transliterated as Qur’ān, Koran, Alcoran The Messiah Jesus son of Mary was (no more than) a Messenger of God, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a Spirit proceeding from Him; so believe in God and His Messengers. Say not "Trinity": desist! It will be better for you: for God is One: Glory be to Him! (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is God as a Disposer of affairs. (Qur'an [Qur'an 4:171])
They do blaspheme who say: God is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One God. The Qur’an ( القرآن, literally "the recitation" also sometimes transliterated as Qur’ān, Koran, Alcoran If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them. (Qur'an [Qur'an 5:73])

The status of Mary

It has been suggested[1] that the Qur'an states the Christian concept of the Trinity to be God, Jesus, and Mary rather than the Holy Spirit, but this is not certain, since 4:171 does not explicitly state this. The Qur’an ( القرآن, literally "the recitation" also sometimes transliterated as Qur’ān, Koran, Alcoran Another verse sometimes taken to claim that Mary is part of the Christian Trinity is [Qur'an 5:116]:

When God says, 'Jesus, son of Mary, did you say to people, "Take me and my mother as two gods alongside God"?' he will say, 'May you be exalted! I would never say what I had no right to say - if I had said such a thing You would have known it: You know all that is within me, though I do not know what is within You, You alone have full knowledge of things unseen (Qur'an [Qur'an 5:116])

This too is inconclusive, since although it condemns worship of Mary, this verse does not mention the Trinity. The Qur’an ( القرآن, literally "the recitation" also sometimes transliterated as Qur’ān, Koran, Alcoran The Qur’an ( القرآن, literally "the recitation" also sometimes transliterated as Qur’ān, Koran, Alcoran Edward Hulmes - who nevertheless believes that the "Trinity" as mentioned in the Qur'an does include Mary - writes that the concern with Mary-worship may simply reflect "a recognition of the role accorded by local Christians to Mary as mother in a special sense. "[1]
