WHY THE QURAN FORBIDS
“In the name of Allah, Muhammad, and Jibreel”
— and WHY JESUS COMMANDED
“In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit”
This contrast exposes a decisive theological divide between Islam and Christianity.
1. Why the Quran PROHIBITS saying
“In the name of Allah, Muhammad, and Jibreel”
The Quran absolutely forbids invoking anyone alongside Allah.
“Do not call upon anyone with Allah.”
(Quran 72:18)
Why?
Because to invoke someone “in the name of” is to attribute divine authority.
In Islamic theology:
Allah alone is God
Muhammad is only a messenger
Jibreel is only an angel
Therefore, to say “In the name of Allah, Muhammad, and Jibreel” would be shirk—making Muhammad and Jibreel co-equal with God.
Islam understands something crucial here:
Sharing the divine “name” = sharing divine identity
That is precisely why the Quran forbids it.
2. Now the decisive question:
Why did Jesus command THIS?
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father
and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit.”
(Matthew 28:19)
Not names (plural).
But NAME (singular).
This is not accidental.
This is not poetic.
This is not symbolic.
It is ontological.
3. Jesus did what the Quran forbids — and did it deliberately
If Jesus were merely a prophet like Muhammad, this command would be blasphemy by Islamic standards.
Because Jesus:
Places Himself (the Son) inside the divine Name
Places the Holy Spirit inside the same divine Name
Shares that Name with the Father
Exactly what Islam says no creature may ever do.
Yet Jesus does it without apology, explanation, or fear.
Why?
Because He is not a creature.
4. The unavoidable conclusion
Islam says:
“You cannot say ‘in the name of Allah and anyone else’ because that would make them God.”
Christianity says:
“Baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.”
Therefore, one of two things must be true:
Either:
Jesus committed the greatest possible act of shirk…
Or:
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit share the one divine essence.
There is no middle ground.
5. The Trinity is not a later invention
It is declared by Jesus Himself
Jesus did not say:
“In the name of God and His prophet”
“In the name of God and His angel”
“In the name of God alone”
He said:
ONE NAME
THREE PERSONS
This is Trinity:
Not three gods
Not one person playing three roles
But one God, eternally revealed as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
6. Final challenge
Islam unintentionally proves the Trinity by its own logic.
Because Islam is correct about one thing:
To share the divine Name is to share divinity.
And Jesus shared it.
Boldly. Publicly. Authoritatively.
Not as a prophet — but as God.
