The Quran teaches that Allah is the Most High, and therefore no other being can be attributed with such a title without committing shirk.

The Quran indeed refers to Allah as the Most High, but this does not negate the Christian understanding of Jesus' divinity. In Christian theology, Jesus is not merely a creature but is fully God and fully man, as articulated in John 1:1, which states, 'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.' This establishes that Jesus shares the divine nature with the Father. Moreover, the concept of the Trinity does not imply polytheism; rather, it affirms that there is one God who exists in three distinct persons. Each person of the Trinity is fully and completely God, yet there is still only one essence of God. This is a mystery that transcends human understanding but does not contradict the essence of monotheism. In contrast, the Islamic view of tawhid emphasizes a strict unipersonal understanding of God, which leads to the assertion that any attribution of divine qualities to Jesus is a form of shirk. However, Christians argue that Jesus' divine attributes do not detract from God's oneness but rather fulfill the promise of God's revelation to humanity. Thus, while the Quran's teaching on Allah as the Most High is acknowledged, it is essential to understand that Christian doctrine provides a coherent framework for understanding the nature of God that encompasses the divinity of Christ without violating the principle of monotheism.
