Quran Issues
The Quran teaches that Christians are fellow believers and will be rewarded by God.
Quick answer
While the Quran mentions that those who believe in God and the Last Day, including Christians, will have their reward, it does not affirm the Christian understanding of God as a Trinity. The Christian response emphasizes that true belief in God includes the acknowledgment of Jesus as the Son of God and part of the Trinity, which is not compatible with Islamic teachings.
