(١١٧)IS ALLAH (S.W) ONE OR THREE?THE STORY OF MONOTHEISM AND THETRINITY IN THE HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY“And behold! Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Didstthou say unto men, w<strong>or</strong>ship me and my mother as gods inderogation of Allah.?" He will say: "Gl<strong>or</strong>y to Thee! nevercould I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such athing, thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowestwhat <strong>is</strong> in my heart, though I know not what <strong>is</strong> in Thine. F<strong>or</strong>Thou knowest in full all that <strong>is</strong> hidden. "Never said I tothem aught except what Thou didst command me to say, towit, 'w<strong>or</strong>ship Allah, my L<strong>or</strong>d and your L<strong>or</strong>d'; and I was awitness over them whilst I dwelt amongst them; when Thoudidst take me up Thou wast the Watcher over them, andThou art a witness to all things.” (Holy Quran 5: 116- 117)If Jesus (PBUH) and h<strong>is</strong> contemp<strong>or</strong>aries did not claim that he <strong>is</strong>divine, how did these creeds come into Chr<strong>is</strong>tianity?An<strong>sw</strong>ering the question, I say, “It was Paul who inserted them intoChr<strong>is</strong>tianity.” It was Paul, the Jew, who was the enemy ofChr<strong>is</strong>tianity, who claimed seeing Jesus (PBUH) after Allah (S.W)lifted him up to heaven. He took these creeds from many pagans,which make some people holy, considering them sons of God. “Andthe Chr<strong>is</strong>tians call Chr<strong>is</strong>t the son of God. That <strong>is</strong> a sayingfrom their mouth; (in th<strong>is</strong>) they but imitate what theunbelievers of old used to say. God's curse be on them: howthey are deluded away from the Truth!” (Holy Quran 9: 30).The Imp<strong>or</strong>tance of Paul in Chr<strong>is</strong>tianityPaul <strong>is</strong> the most famous writer amongst the New Testament writers,and he <strong>is</strong> absolutely the most imp<strong>or</strong>tant evangel<strong>is</strong>t. He wrotefourteen Ep<strong>is</strong>tles, which are almost half of the New Testament, andonly in these Ep<strong>is</strong>tles do we find many of the Chr<strong>is</strong>tian creeds. Paul<strong>is</strong> the founder of Chr<strong>is</strong>tianity and its creeds, and he <strong>is</strong> the onlyevangel<strong>is</strong>t who claimed prophethood among the others.Paul’s Ep<strong>is</strong>tles are the supp<strong>or</strong>tive pillar of th<strong>is</strong> altered Chr<strong>is</strong>tianity.H<strong>is</strong> Ep<strong>is</strong>tles were the first written documents in the New Testament,and are slightly similar to the others, especially the Book of John.
