(١١٠)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?Thus, all these people, including Peter, knew nothing aboutMatthew’s passage, which calls of baptizing the nations in the nameof the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, why? Because Jesus(PBUH) did not mention it and they did not hear it from him, and ifJesus (PBUH) had said it, there would be no blame attached.In addition, the d<strong>is</strong>ciples agreed with Paul that he would preach tothe gentiles, and they would preach to the Jews. Paul said, “whenthey saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to theuncircumc<strong>is</strong>ed, just as Peter had been entrusted with thegospel to the circumc<strong>is</strong>ed. They gave the right hand offellowship to Barnabas and me that we should go to theGentiles and they to the circumc<strong>is</strong>ed.” (Galatia 2/7-9). Howcould they d<strong>is</strong>obey Jesus’ (PBUH) command - if Matthew’s passagewas true - and neglect preaching to the nations, and leave it only toPaul and Barnabas?All of th<strong>is</strong> evidence d<strong>is</strong>proves Matthew’s passage, and proves that it<strong>is</strong> a fabrication. Jesus (PBUH) did not speak these w<strong>or</strong>ds.Even if we overlook all that I have menti<strong>one</strong>d, there <strong>is</strong> nothing in thepassage that says the Holy Trinity <strong>is</strong> <strong>one</strong> self. It talks about <strong>three</strong>different selves and using (and) indicates that he <strong>is</strong> talking about<strong>three</strong> different things. The c<strong>or</strong>rect meaning of Matthew’s passage <strong>is</strong>“go by the name of Allah (S.W) and Jesus, h<strong>is</strong> messenger, and theinspiration that Allah (S.W) sent to him, with Allah’s (S.W)commandments.”Matthew’s verse <strong>is</strong> similar to what Paul said in h<strong>is</strong> Ep<strong>is</strong>tle to Timothy.However, Chr<strong>is</strong>tians do not refer to it as evidence of the Trinity. Paulsaid, “In the presence of God and of Chr<strong>is</strong>t Jesus and of theelect angels I charge you to keep these rules withoutprejudging, doing nothing from partiality” (Tim. (1) 5/21). No<strong>one</strong> understands from th<strong>is</strong> passage the divinity of the angels, <strong>or</strong> thatthey are the third hypostas<strong>is</strong> in the Trinity. The judgment on Paul’spassage <strong>is</strong> the same as f<strong>or</strong> Matthew’s passage.The Book of Exodus mentions the same when talking about callingthe Children of Israel to believe in Allah (S.W) and Moses (PBUH),and no <strong>one</strong> believes that Allah (S.W) and Moses (PBUH) are <strong>one</strong>and equal. “So the people feared the LORD, and they believedin the LORD and in h<strong>is</strong> servant Moses.” (Exodus 14/31)
