Actually I had a conversation about this with a Muslim friend of mine once.
!!!!Most important fact!!!! = Christians do not believe that God is a part of the trinity, they believe God is the Trinity
or...that the trinity is 3 attributes to help us understand God (like the 99 atributes of Allah http://www.jannah.org/articles/names.html )
We did come up with one....
Holy Spirit of Allah, the essence of him, his blessing: "When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My Spirit, fall ye down in obeisance unto him. (Quran, 38:72)"
It creates our "spirits." Allah Almighty uses it to blow into our mothers' wombs our human-spirits. That is why abortion is prohibited in Islam, because the fetus or foetus does have spirit (life) and it is a human being.
^
In that you have Allah the Creator.....|
The son is the word of God. As Jesus was the living word of god for Christians, that same word is embodied in the Koran for Muslims.
To make it short (creating a Trinity representation using names of Allah. Like the Christians, who believe that the Trinity is not 3 entities, but 3 parts of the whole god, this would be a Muslim version:
The Father: Al-Khaliq, The Creator ; Al-Bari' , The Maker of Order
The Sun: The Quran, his word made tangible on earth
Holy Spirit : As-Salam, The Source of Peace ; An-nur, The Light
OK, that is the short way to put it, but it was an interesting idea.
-------------------------------------
Holy Trinity, according to the doctrine of the orthodox Christians, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost; by the Father, understanding God's essence; by the Son, his knowledge; and by the Holy Ghost, his life."
again, most muslims here do not understand the christian trinity...it is not 3 seperate things, 3 seperate gods that are worshipped or something. It is 3 attributes. I don't know why this is so hard to understand. Have you ever given thought that the Quran was refering to the "trinity" that some heretical sects in Arabia held, In muhammed's time there were sects in Arabia that believed in a polythiest trinity of:Jesus, God, and Mary.......(also look into arabic Gospel of the Infancy)....
The Quran backs this up:
005.116 وَإِذْ قَالَ اللَّهُ يَا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ أَأَنْتَ قُلْتَ لِلنَّاسِ اتَّخِذُونِي وَأُمِّيَ إِلَهَيْنِ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ قَالَ سُبْحَانَكَ مَا يَكُونُ لِي أَنْ أَقُولَ مَا لَيْسَ لِي بِحَقٍّ إِنْ كُنْتُ قُلْتُهُ فَقَدْ عَلِمْتَهُ تَعْلَمُ مَا فِي نَفْسِي وَلا أَعْلَمُ مَا فِي نَفْسِكَ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ عَلامُ الْغُيُوبِ
005.116 And behold! Allah will say: "O Jesus the son of Mary! 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, Thou I know not what is in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden.
Al-Qur'an, 005.116 (Al-Maeda [The Table, The Table Spread])
In this the Quran is refering to heretical christian sects that existed at the time that worshipped a trinity of: Jesus, Mary, and God. These groups still exist in small number in Syria...very small number.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's look back into the Quran for another interesting example of this topic:
Read the next 2 suras:
"When I have fashioned him (in due proportion) and breathed into him of My Spirit, fall ye down in obeisance unto him. (Quran, 38:72)"
"And he shall say, Verily I come unto you with a sign from your Lord, for I shall make unto you of clay the figure as it were of a bird; then I will blow thereon and it shall become a bird, by permission of God.' (Surah 3.41-43 )"
--- In this sense, Allah allowed his spirit of life (one of his many attributes) to be aquired by Jesus, to create life. ---
It is all in the way you look at it, however it seems 99% of the argument about Dogma between christians and muslims is symantics and misunderstanding.
I could go into other areas like judgement and stuff like that, but I'm sleepy.....;) Hope it helps

We do not have a trinity we have note the that actually. To have faith, is to believe In one God, and all his Angels ( Gabriel, Israfil etc.), All his Messengers ( Abraham, David, Moses, Jesus and Muhammed.) All his prophets, (Jacob, Joseph, John the Baptist, Daniel, Solomon etc...) All his books. ( Psalms, Torah, Gospel{Bible} and the Quran) And finally believe in the day of ressurection. As for the Holy trinity in Christians, it depends on how you believe in it. If you believe in God as a spiritual father, meaning now really his father, but as That God guides and watches Jesus like a father watches his son, then yes we believe in it. But if you believe in it as in the biological or physical father, then no. Jesus is a Messenger in Islam, we believe he will return to guide the faithful and save them from the false messiah. As for the Holy Spirit, basically Angel Gabriel.
Hope this helps explain.

There is no trinity in Islam. In truth the basic teachings of Christianism or Hinduism is against trinity. The very scriptures don't support it.

Actually there is only God (Allah) in Islam and it goesgreat lengths to avoid any "associations".
The prophet is nowhere close to what jesus is to christians. In Islam the prophet is a messenger of god (not divine).
Ofcourse there is a lot of glorifying of the prophet (and even his family) going on in Islamic practice but this is not what Islam has preached.

No in Islam you must believe and worship only one God which is Allah, God is only, he beggets not and have not been begotton,
We believe in all prophets sent by Allah including Moses and Jesus but that they only were prophets sent to guide people.

There's no trinity in Islam. Trinity is blasphemy.
"Do not say trinity, for God is one" (Holy Koran 4:171)
"They disbelieved who say: Allah is one of three (in a Trinity): for there is no god except One God." (Koran 5:73)

Islam does not believe that God is more than one part...God made man is his image body and spirit and Muslims agree man is body and spirit and man is still one...but when you apply this to God they somehow get confused and think if God has more than one part he must be more than one god.
