Qur’an 5:116
Surah The Table (Al-Maaida) · verse 116
“And when Allah saith: O Jesus, son of Mary! Didst thou say unto mankind: Take me and my mother for two gods beside Allah? he saith: Be glorified! It was not mine to utter that to which I had no right. If I used to say it, then Thou knewest it. Thou knowest what is in my mind, and I know not what is in Thy Mind. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Knower of Things Hidden”

Christian comparison
How this connects to Jesus
This passage rejects the worship of more than one God, and the idea of ‘three gods.’ Christians agree: there is one God. The Trinity means the one God as Father, Son, and Spirit, not three gods, and not God, Jesus, and Mary.
