"O People of the Scripture, do not commit excess in your religion or say about God except the truth. The Mes- siah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of God and His word which He directed to Mary and a soul [created at a command] from Him. So believe in God and His messengers. And do not say, “Three”; desist - it is better for you. Indeed, God is but one God. Exalted is He above having a son. To Him be- longs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. And sufficient is God as Disposer of affairs."— Sahih Intl
