The Critical Review of Nabeel Asif Qureshi's Stance on Tawheed and Trinity

Abstract

Religion plays a significant role in human life, to believe in higher spiritual beings is a natural phenomenon of all humans. Islam and Christianity are two main and major religion of the world. The core distinction between them lies in their concept of God, Muslims believes in an absolute, singular in all aspects, all-knowing, and all-powerful God called “Allah,” known as "Tawhid" (the oneness of God). In contrast, Christians believes in a triune God, consisting of three distinct God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, all co-equal and co-eternal in their Divine essence. This doctrine, known as the “Trinity,” evolved over centuries and is formalized and articulated in the Nicene Creed While Islamic belief is the foundation of whole religion called Islam from the very beginning of its inception. This article explores the arguments made by Nabeel Asif Qureshi, a former Ahmadi who converted to Christianity. Qureshi claims that the Christian Trinity does not contradict monotheism but instead represents a complex unity of three being. He critiques towheed and rejects the oneness of Allah Almighty by giving biased theological arguments. Similarly, his defense of trinity also relies heavily on philosophical reasoning. Moreover, His portrayal of Towhed and Islamic theology is shaped by his former Ahmadi perspective, which doesn’t represent or reflect mainstream Islamic interpretations This article critically reviews Qureshi’s biased interpretations and arguments, aiming to uphold the true essence of Tawhid.
