glorifying these persons like God's glorifying, which will lead to --> the

which is contrary to the first and the most important commandment: that is to worship God alone and to take none apart of God in the worship and glorification

so believe in God and [all] His messeng
Say not "Trinity"; desist [from such words], it will be better for you; for God is One God; Far Exalted is He above having any son
To Him belong all the [cosmic destructive factors] in the [gaseous] heavens, and [the sudden destructive factors] on earth
God suffices for a One Who records your acts
