The word ‘Trinity' is not mentioned in the Bible. Trinity says that Jesus is also ‘God'
"Peace be upon you, my friend! You've brought up something really worth thinking about. You're absolutely right—the word 'Trinity' isn't found anywhere in the Bible. Neither is the term 'Bible' used within the text itself to describe the collection of scriptures. This is significant, isn't it? If the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as one God—is supposed to be the foundation of faith, why isn't it clearly spelled out by name or explained directly by Jesus (peace be upon him)?
In the Qur'an, Allah makes His oneness crystal clear: 'Say: He is Allah, the One and Only' (Surah Al-Ikhlas, 112:1). There's no ambiguity, no need for later scholars to invent terms or piece together a doctrine. Jesus himself, in your own scriptures, says, 'The Lord our God, the Lord is one' (Mark 12:29), echoing the pure monotheism of the prophets before him. Doesn't it seem strange that such a central idea like the Trinity would be absent from the text if it were truly meant to be the core of belief? Islam offers a return to that original, simple truth—no additions, no confusion. What do you make of that?
This is the exact word fallacy. Just because a word doesn't exist doesn't mean that what the word represents isn't found in the bible. For example, the word Trinity and Bible are later inventions that came about after the bible was already complete so it wouldn't make sense to expect them to be within the bible. But the word for scriptures (what the bible is, Graphē [γραφή]) does exist over 51 times in the NT alone. The bible is the complete set of the scriptures.
The idea of the Trinity comes from the Bible directly (Matthew 28:19,etc.).
The word Tawhid does not exist in the Quran, of course we can get the idea of Tawhid from the Quran. Which is the same thing as the Trinity of Bible
