Frequently, in debates with Christians on the doctrine of the Trinity vs. the Islamic concept of Tawhid (oneness of Allah), Muslims will try to maintain the focus on the concept of the Trinity. Much fewer time is spent trying to provide a rigorous defence and elaboration of Tawhid. Here, I am going to outline one Quranic problem faced by the Islamic doctrine of Tawhid.
According to various texts in the Qur’an (e.g. Surah
2:28; 22:6), Allah is the creator of life. Surah 15:23 tells us,
“It
is indeed We, and only We, who give life and bring death, and We are the
ultimate inheritor.”
