And behold! Allah will say: "O 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 in Thine. For Thou knowest in full all that is hidden. [Qur'an 5:116]
Here the Trinity is clearly God, Mary, and Jesus.
This is a big difficulty. Christianity does not recognize Mary as a god. No formulation of Christianity recognizes Mary as a god. The Trinity is Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Mohammed does not demonstrate knowledge of Bible doctrine. What we see is consistent with a person who has seen statues in Christian churches.
This is the only place where the members of the Trinity is defined. It is also mentioned, but not defined here:
“They have certainly disbelieved who say, ‘God is the third of three.’ (Rather) there is none worthy of worship except One (God). And if they do not desist from what they are saying, there will surely afflict the disbelievers among them a painful punishment. So will they not repent to God and seek His forgiveness? And God is Forgiving and Merciful. The Messiah (Jesus), son of Mary, was no more than a Messenger before whom many Messengers have passed away; and his mother adhered wholly to truthfulness, and they both ate food (as other mortals do). See how We make Our signs clear to them; and see where they are turning away!” [Qur'an 5:73-75]
