In Islam and Judaism, the trinity is considered polytheism.
There are several times in which YHVH refers to himself as "we", but this is a "Pluralis Majestatis".

There were confusions about nature Jesus in the 1st -3rd century.
Later, the Catholic Christians adopt democracy in religion and some 318 out 1,800 bishops took part in a vote during the 1st Council of Nicaea AD 325 and adopted Trinity.

It isnt. The trinity is a pagan idea. God is God-- he has a son-- Jesus, who is that blood sacrafice which took the place of animals blood and the Holy Spirit is the spirit of wisdom and understanding. These three are one because you need to accept them all. They are one like a nation is one. Jesus is not God or the Holy Spirit. He said so himself. When we die, we will not see a trinity being, but God with jesus on his right hand- the position of honor and the holy ghost. they are seperate. Please dont buy into the pagan created trinity belifs

The Torah and Tanach provide evidence for the Trinity.
--
Here is a brief synopsis of the Trinity:
There is only ONE God. He manifests himself in three personas/persons/manifestations for the purposes of the redemption of, and relationship with, human beings.
Contrary to what some people say, there is nothing irrational or illogical about this concept (of the Trinity).
For an explanation (and defense) of the doctrine of the Trinity, see http://www.godsci.org/gs/sect/doc/trinity.html
Cordially,
John

It is not discussed in either religion.
Prechristion religions such as the Celtic pagans believed in three in one god /ess. Which is where the Catholic Church got its idea of a different type of trinity from to try and get the Pagans to change their faiths .

Quran do not support Trinity, the verses that refer to Trinity in Quran are
"O People of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: Nor say of Allah aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was (no more than) a messenger of Allah, and His Word, which He bestowed on Mary, and a spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in Allah and His messengers. Say not "Trinity" : desist: it will be better for you: for Allah is one Allah: Glory be to Him: (far exalted is He) above having a son. To Him belong all things in the heavens and on earth. And enough is Allah as a Disposer of affairs. " Quran 4:171.
"Certainly they disbelieve who say: Surely Allah is the third (person) of the three; and there is no god but the one Allah, and if they desist not from what they say, a painful chastisement shall befall those among them who disbelieve. " Quran 5: 73.

I don't believe it is. I haven't read the Koran, but I know Muslims do not believe Jesus is the son of God or God himself, which is the concept of the trinity. So, it's probably not in there. I don't know if it's even in the Bible, to be truthful.

The Bible does not support the Christian belief in trinity at all. One of the scribes once asked Jesus (pbuh) as to which was the first commandment of all, to which Jesus (pbuh) merely repeated what Moses (pbuh) had said earlier:
"Shama Israelu Adonai Ila Hayno Adonai Ikhad."
This is a Hebrew quotation, which means:
"Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord."
[The Bible, Mark 12:29]
It is striking that the basic teachings of the Church such as Trinity and vicarious atonement find no mention in the Bible. In fact, various verses of the Bible point to Jesus’ (pbuh) actual mission, which was to fulfill the law revealed to Prophet Moses (pbuh). Indeed Jesus (pbuh) rejected any suggestions that attributed divinity to him, and explained his miracles as the power of the One True God.
Jesus (pbuh) thus reiterated the message of monotheism that was given by all earlier prophets of Almighty God.
NOTE: All quotations of the Bible are taken from the King James Version.

CONCEPT OF GOD IN OLD TESTAMENT:

God is One

"Shama Israelu Adonai Ila Hayno Adna Ikhad".
It is a Hebrew quotation which means:
"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord"
[The Bible, Deuteronomy 6:4]

Unity of God in the Book of Isaiah

(i)
"I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour."
[The Bible, Isaiah 43:11]
(ii)
"I am Lord, and there is none else, there is no God besides me."
[The Bible, Isaiah 45:5]
(iii)
"I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me."
[The Bible, Isaiah 46:9]

Old Testament condemns idol worship
(i)
Old Testament condemns idol worship in the following verses:
"Thou shalt have no other gods before me."
"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:"
"Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God."
[The Bible, Exodus 20:3-5]
(ii)
A similar message is repeated in the book of Deuteronomy:
"Thou shalt have none other gods before me."
"Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that in the earth beneath, or that is in the water beneath the earth."
"Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them; for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God."
[The Bible, Deuteronomy 5:7-9]
