B]'O people of the Book! Exceed not in your religion, and do not say of<br />
Allah anything but truth. <strong>The</strong> MessiahIssa son of Marium is only the<br />
Messenger of Allah and His w<strong>or</strong>d that was sent to Mary and a spirit from<br />
Him.<strong>The</strong>n believe in Allah and His Messengers<br />
and do not say, 'three'. Refrain f<strong>or</strong> your own good. Allah is the only one God. Far is it from His Holiness that He should have a son. To<br />
Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth. And Allah is Sufficient, as real Doer.<br />
C] People of the Book, go not beyond the bounds in your religion,<br />
and say not as to God but the truth. <strong>The</strong> Messiah, Jesus son of Mary,<br />
was only the Messenger of God, and His W<strong>or</strong>d that He committed to<br />
Mary, and a Spirit from Him. So believe in God and His Messengers,<br />
and say not, 'Three.' Refrain; better is it f<strong>or</strong> you. God is only One God. Gl<strong>or</strong>y be to Him -- That He should have a son! To Him<br />
belongs all that is in the heavens and in the earth; God suffices f<strong>or</strong> a guardian.<br />
D] O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your<br />
religion <strong>or</strong> say about Allah except the truth. <strong>The</strong> Messiah,<br />
Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and<br />
His w<strong>or</strong>d which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a<br />
command] from Him. So believe in Allah and His messengers.<br />
And do not say, "Three"; desist - it is better f<strong>or</strong> you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above<br />
having a son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient<br />
is Allah as Disposer of affairs.<br />

This verse is often misunderstood because some expressions of this<br />
verse is taken in Athanasian meanings. But this is just a confusion to<br />
ascribe Trinitarian <strong>The</strong>ology to ‘Isla:mic Terms ,constructions and<br />
phrases.<br />
If it is researched in detail even in Christian scriptures there are some<br />
m<strong>or</strong>e meanings of them which are often neglected.<br />
