verse73

(73) لَّقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِينَ قَالُواْ إِنَّ اللّهَ ثَالِثُ ثَلاَثَةٍ وَمَا مِنْ إِلَهٍ إِلاَّ إِلَهٌ وَاحِدٌ وَإِن لَّمْ يَنتَهُواْ عَمَّا

يَقُولُونَ لَيَمَسَّنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِنْهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ

73. " Certainly they disbelieve who say: ' Verily Allah is the third of the three,' while there is no god save the One God; and if they desist not from what they say, a painful chastisement shall befall those among them who disbelieve."

Commentary:
This fact should be noted that what was referred to in the previous verse was the subject of extremism and unity with Allah. But, in this verse, the Qur'an points to the plurality of gods from the view point of the Christians, viz. threefoldness in Divine Unity. It says:
" Certainly they disbelieve who say: ' Verily Allah is the third of the three,'..."
In answer to them the Qur'an decisively says:
"... while there is no god save the One God; ..."
Then, the Qur'an, with a strong and severe tone, emphatically warns them:
"... and if they desist not from what they say, a painful chastisement shall befall those among them who disbelieve."
