The Trinity is God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. They are 3 in 1. They are all GOD. I learned about it this way - think of an uncooked egg. The outer shell is like God, encompassing all, the solid part you see immediately. The yolk is like Jesus, the bright sun in the middle of it all, within the center of God, just seperate. Lastly, the clear egg whites are like the Holy Spirit, sometimes hard to imagine because theres no solid visual. All 3 parts make up an egg, but it's still just 1 egg.
The crucifiction was the process Jesus went through when he died on the cross for us. Only Christians believe in Jesus and that he died and rose again 3 days later.
There is no part of Islam in either of these subjects.

I can tell you about the Trinity, at least as much as I know. I personally do not believe in it, but those who do believe:
God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are 3 SEPERATE beings of equal status.
Here is where I differ: First of all, the word trinity is never mentioned in the bible. And the use of it was only recently put into use.(I believe back in the early 1800's by the Catholics--again I just believe that is what I have learned)
However, Jesus is just God robed in flesh, and the Holy Spirit is like his soul.
I mean...if you are male...you can be a son, a father and have a soul yet still remain ONE man right? The same for women, they can be a daughter, a mother and have a soul but are still one woman.
Plus, it is mentioned in the Bible where God says there is no one sitting next to him on the throne of heaven...how can that be if Jesus and the Holy Spirit are equal?
Yes in the new testament it does specifically say to Baptize in the "name" of the father, the son and the holy spirit. But...what of the 3 was ever given a name? Jesus...so the name of all 3...is Jesus. So, you Baptize in the name of Jesus, because that is the name of all 3!!
I know there are several different ideas on this but the info I have given you was given to me and explained in much more detail by someone who has studied the Bible for YEARS and everything he said added up. I am fairly new to Bible Study so I am sorry I wasn't able to give you the same detailed answer as I was given. But, hopefully it will help.

Trinity: God the Father, Jesus the Son and Savior, and the Holy Spirit, three parts of a whole, God.
Crucifiction: A form of death made popular by the Romans, either by nailing someone to a cross or pole, leaving them to hang until death. Jesus died in this way.
Both are more Christian based than Islamic.

The Trinity is a christian belief not one of Islam.
Three in one which is
God = The Father
God = The Son
God = The Holy spirit.

"Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name (NOT THE NAMES) of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" (St. Matt. 28:20).
Many Christians begin to learn about the Trinity through knowledge of Baptism. This is also a starting point for others in comprehending why the doctrine matters to so many Christians, even though the doctrine itself teaches that the being of God is beyond complete comprehension. The Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed are structured around profession of the Trinity, and are solemnly professed by converts to Christianity when they receive baptism, and in the Church's liturgy, particularly when celebrating the Eucharist. One or both of these creeds are often used as brief summations of Christian faith by mainstream denominations.
One God
God is one, and the Godhead a single being: The Hebrew Scriptures lift this one article of faith above others, and surround it with stern warnings against departure from this central issue of faith, and of faithfulness to the covenant God had made with them. "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD" (Deuteronomy 6:4) (the Shema), "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" (Deuteronomy 5:7) and, "Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel and his redeemer the LORD of hosts: I am the first and I am the last; and beside me there is no God." (Isaiah 44:6). Any formulation of an article of faith which does not insist that God is solitary, that divides worship between God and any other, or that imagines God coming into existence rather than being God eternally, is not capable of directing people toward the knowledge of God, according to the trinitarian understanding of the Old Testament. The same insistence is found in the New Testament: "...there is none other God but one" (1 Corinthians 8:4). The "other gods" warned against are therefore not gods at all, but substitutes for God, and so are, according to St. Paul, simply mythological or are demons.
So, in the trinitarian view, the common conception which thinks of the Father and Christ as two separate beings, is incorrect. The central, and crucial affirmation of Christian faith is that there is one savior, God, and one salvation, manifest in Jesus Christ, to which there is access only because of the Holy Spirit. The God of the Old is still the same as the God of the New. In Christianity, it is understood that statements about a solitary god are intended to distinguish the Hebraic understanding from the polytheistic view, which see divine power as shared by several separate beings, beings which can, and do, disagree and have conflicts with each other. The concept of Many comprising One is quite visible in the Gospel of John, chapter 17, verses 20 through 23.
God exists in three persons
The "Shield of the Trinity" or "Scutum Fidei" diagram of traditional Western Christian symbolism.This one God however exists in three persons, or in the Greek hypostases. God has but a single divine nature. Chalcedonians — Catholics, Orthodox, and Protestants — hold that, in addition, the Second Person of the Trinity — God the Son, Jesus — assumed human nature, so that he has two natures (and hence two wills), and is really and fully both true God and true human.
The singleness of God's being and the multiplicity of the Divine Persons together account for the nature of Christian salvation, and disclose the gift of eternal life. "Through the Son we have access to the Father in one Spirit" (Ephesians 2:18). Communion with the Father is the goal of the Christian faith and is eternal life. It is given to humans through the Divine union with humanity in Jesus Christ who, although fully God, died for sinners "in the flesh" to accomplish their redemption, and this forgiveness, restoration, and friendship with God is made accessible through the gift to the Church of the Holy Spirit, who, being God, knows the Divine Essence intimately and leads and empowers the Christian to fulfill the will of God. Thus, this doctrine touches on every aspect of the trinitarian Christian's faith and life; and this explains why it has been so earnestly contended for, throughout Christian history.
