'Surely, they have disbelieved who say: "Allah is the Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary)." But the Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)] said: "O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allah, then Allah has forbidden Paradise for him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Zalimun (polytheists and wrongdoers) there are no helpers.
Surely, disbelievers are those who said: "Allah is the third of the three (in a Trinity)." But there is no ilah (god) (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One Ilah (God -Allah). And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall the disbelievers among them.
Will they not repent to Allah and ask His Forgiveness? For Allah is OftForgiving, Most Merciful.' (Qur'an 5:72-74)

because there is no such thing as a "trinity."

Many of the prophets of the Old Testament knew about two of the members of the trinity. They knew God the Father and were made aware of the coming of His Son Jesus Christ. The Holy Ghost was not made known until the New Testament. First presenting Himself in the form of a dove at the Baptism of Jesus and then promised to the Deciles after Jesus' death and Resurrection.

you'd think they'd have mentioned something about that whole eternal hell thing too. (its not in the OT)
>>"Why did Jesus go to Synagogue if he wasn't a Jew?"<<
he was.
>>"What is a soul? "<< the essence of who you are, your greater self.
>>"Life after death is like virginity after childbirth."<<
not really. sounds clever but nonsensical if you are capable of thinking on more than the most shallow level imaginable.
>>"Allah is not part of that Trinity. That is not true. You will not find allah in the bible at all."<<
with that logic "God" isn't in the bible either, since "God" is an english word, and the bible isn't in english, there are english translations, but "God" is merely an english word for anther language's word.
is the idea of a language other than english have a word other than "God" for "God"?
>>"Many of the prophets of the Old Testament knew about two of the members of the trinity."<<
utter nonsense. amazing how people can fabricate such nonsense out of nothing.

He did tell Abraham about it when he cut the covenant with Abraham in Genesis 15. When God appeared it was as both a smoking furnace and a flaming pot, as the covenant was between God the Father and Jesus. They were both present at that time.
He did tell Abraham about the Incarnation, that is why Moses knew that the "prophet like him" - Jesus - was coming. That is why at the passover dinner they take and wrap three pieces of bread (father , son and holy spirit) only breaking the middle (son) piece to show the breaking of Jesus the Son.
He did tell David about the Trinity. That is why he spoke about "God saying to my God, Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool". He was talking about the Father and the Son
He did tell Adam about the Trinity. Or who was God talking to when he said "Let US make man in OUR image". The trinity stood before Adam on the day of his creation.
He did tell Eve about the Trinity when he promised her that "her seed (Jesus)" would be the one to finally defeat satan. But not until satan had first wounded Jesus. That is why Adam gave the woman the name Eve, it means "The mother of the All-Living One". He knew that God was coming in human form through one of her descendants.
He did tell Joseph and Jacob about the Trinity. Read again the blessing of Gensis 49. Jacob, while blessing Joseph and his other sons promised Judah that the scepture would not depart from Judah until all nations were gathered to him. A promise of the Lordship of Judah's descendant Jesus over the whole earth.
He did tell Isaac about the Trinity, when on the mountain where Abrahan was about to sacrifice him, God stopped Abraham, and promised that God would provide Himself as the sacrifice in place of Isaac, which he did when he came and died on Calvary (the same mountain on which Isaac was almost offered up).
So the answer is, if you read the Bible, God DID explain the coming of Jesus and the Trinity to the people you have listed.

Great question!
Why did Jesus go to Synagogue if he wasn't a Jew?
What is a soul? I know what a sole is.
"the" Bible? No such thing. Many Bibles, all different.
Please consider these tidbits:
Jews for Jesus = Vegetarians for Hamburgers
God? He or She?
Church? Christianity? Jesus? Dying?
What is the Imacculate Conception supposed to mean?
Does Imacculate Conception have anything to do with "VIRGIN BIRTH"?
Google Imacculate Conception and learn that is NOT.
What else do you falsely believe?
Jesus, the basis of Christianity? .
If Jesus died, he could NOT have been God.
Can Gods die?
If Jesus 'died' on Friday and 'undied' on Sunday, what else besides Saturday was sacrificed?
Did Jesus give up Saturday for us?
No Eternal sacrifice, big deal for a day!
If Jesus died for our sins, there should not be any more sins, else why go through with it?.
If Jesus really DIED, he should be dead, dead, dead!
Life after death is like virginity after childbirth.
If the flesh of Jesus died, what was seen walking and talking on Sunday?
If you believe this stuff, you are not going to like the folks who don't. You want them to believe it too to validate you.
Christians want everyone to convert to their non-thinking in order to be 'saved'.
Believing and not thinking is like choosing to be lost.

He did "And God said ,Let (us) make man in (our) image,after (our) likeness."Gen.1:26and again " Let (us) go down and there confound their language" 11:7.Why does God say,"the man is become as one of us"?Gen.3:22 ,"Whom shall send, and and who will go for (us) ?" Is.6:8.What is this (us) if God is a single entity ?
Moreover ,if God is a single being,then why is the plural Hebrew noun (Elohim) literally "gods"used for God repeatedly. In fact,this plural noun is in the center of Israels famous confession of the oneness of God! The Shema declares ,"Hear ,O Israel:the Lord our God is one Lord" Dt.6:4 ; Mark 12:29.In the Hebrew it reads , " Jehovah our Elohim (gods) is one echad Jehovah." The Hebrew word echad allows for a unity of more than one.For example it is used in Gen.2:24 where man and woman become one flesh ; in Exodus 36:13 when the various parts "become one tabernacle" ; in 2 Sam. when many soldiers "became one troop" . And finally, " The Lord said unto my Lord,Sit thou at my right hand ,until I make thine enemies thy footstool." Psalms 110:1,the words of David.You should read the Bible you might start serving the true God. I hope so.
