Why dose the Quran say the trinity is Jesus, Mary and God? sura 5: 116 and sura 5: 73-75. And that they are three gods when Christians have never belived this.

The Trinity although the word (Trinity) is not in the Holy Bible is mentioned by Jesus when He is talking with His disciples.
Check out verse 19
Matthew 28:18 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Trinity is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. They are One. It is the triune Godhead. God the father is spirit. Jesus is God in the flesh / natural and the Holy Spirit is God's Spirit dwelling in us.
This is in the Biblical text as mentioned above.
I would urge you to get to know Jesus Christ of Nazareth better by reading the New Testament of the Holy Bible. It is accurate and the only authority on the life, ministry and death of Jesus Christ.
I recommend reading the book of John. It's the fourth book of the New Testament. I'm sure it will reveal many, many things to you about Jesus of Nazareth.
Enjoy!

The reality is the Muhammad did not even know what the Trinity really was. So much for inspiration. In Sura 5:116 it clearly implies Christians believe Mary to be part of the Trinity. Obviously false. If he (o the Quran) could not even get basic Christian Theological Beliefs right then what hope is there in the book at all. None. "And behold! Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! Didst thou say unto men, ‘Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! Never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, Thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, though I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden." Qur’an 5:116 The Quran is against the Trinity first because it does not even know what the Trinity actually is. Secondly it is because of a perception of the Father having sex with Mary which of course is blasphemous and is not ever believed by Christians. Muslims need to understand God (and Christian Belief) not through the lense of the Quran which is totally off track but through the Christian scriptures.

Catholics image of mary and praying to her. Islam does not believe you can show an image of holy people. In Islam you can't prayer to anything other then God and this is what you always hear La Ilaha Ila Lah.
(Only One Lord) the lord of the heaven and earth and what is between them.

Because Muhammed had misunderstandings on what the New Testament taught it is also the reason that the Qur'an teachs the New Testament is the true word of God. Muhammed did not agree with the word of God but he thought he was a prophet of God and that he was in agreement with him.

If that's the truth, why are jesus and his mother worshipped and jesus called God? Why do all Christians believe that if you don't believe in the God Jesus, you go to hell? Islam does not believe in trinity. Those verses are saying that the christians are wrong for elevating a mere man and woman to the status of God and worshipping them along with God. The first commandment is Worship the One True God. Not three different ones.
[005:073] They do blaspheme who say: God is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One God. If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them.
[005:074] Why turn they not to God, and seek His forgiveness? For God is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
[005:075] Christ the son of Mary was no more than an apostle; many were the apostles that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had both to eat their (daily) food. See how God doth make His signs clear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!
[005:073] They surely disbelieve who say: Lo! Allah is the third of three; when there is no God save the One God. If they desist not from so saying a painful doom will fall on those of them who disbelieve.
[005:074] Will they not rather turn unto Allah and seek forgiveness of Him ? For Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.
[005:075] The Messiah, son of Mary, was no other than a messenger, messengers (the like of whom) had passed away before him. And his mother was a saintly woman. And they both used to eat (earthly) food. See how We make the revelations clear for them, and see how they are turned away!
[005:073] Pagans indeed are those who say that GOD is a third of a trinity. There is no god except the one god. Unless they refrain from saying this, those who disbelieve among them will incur a painful retribution.
[005:074] Would they not repent to GOD, and ask His forgiveness? GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.
[005:075] The Messiah, son of Mary, is no more than a messenger like the messengers before him, and his mother was a saint. Both of them used to eat the food. Note how we explain the revelations for them, and note how they still deviate!

The Quran does not state that at all.
As to the trinity,why do Christians state the 3 in one.
God the father,God the son and God the holy spirit,
When God is one and one only.

If you try to mix the trinity and the Quran you won't get it, they don't go together. Trinity is a Christian doctrine not Muslim. They are two totally different religions. That is like me saying "Buddah and Jesus I just don't get it"????

According to Islam, Jesus wasn't the son of God, but one of his prophits, just like Mohamid. Culturally, that's how the trinity translates.

Because back then they did do such a thing. And today don't the Catholics pray to Mary asking her for help? They don't see her as God, but according to Islam asking anyone/thing for help other than God is associating partners with Him.

From sura (5)
[116] And behold! Allah will say: "O 'Isa the son of Maryam! didst thou say unto men, 'Worship me and my mother as gods in derogation of Allah'?" He will say: "Glory to Thee! never could I say what I had no right (to say). Had I said such a thing, Thou wouldst indeed have known it. Thou knowest what is in my heart, though I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden.
[117] "Never said I to them aught except what Thou didst command me to say, to wit, 'Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord'; and I was a witness over them whilst I dwelt amongst them; when thou didst take me up thou wast the Watcher over them, and Thou art a witness to all things.
from sura (5)
[73] They do blaspheme who say: Allah is one of three in a Trinity: for there is no god except One God. If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them.
[74] Why turn they not to Allah and seek His Forgiveness? For Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
[75] Al-Masih, the son of Maryam, was no more than a Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him. His mother was a woman of truth. They had both to eat their (daily) food. See how Allah doth make His Signs clear to them; yet see in what ways they are deluded away from the truth!
Man i see the words are so clear that Allah didn't say that and Allah didn't say that they are three gods but Allah told us what you believe...
