The reasoning verses and argument against the claimants of Divine sonship and Trinitarian monotheism face an epistemological challenge in the eyes of critics of Islam. For them, the excitement-bearing state of the saints` belief in the trinity is of such a high value that is beyond the teachings of the holy Quran. Norman Geisler, the author of Answering Islam has accused the Qur'an of misunderstanding, citing some verses denying the divine nature and trinity. Some commentators and translators have also agreed with him, regardless of any real verbal meeting and the lexical delicacy. Yousef Ali and Radoul are among the translators and Fakhr Razi is among the commentators. In this article, Geisler's view has been analyzed and his view has been criticized by lexical, interpretive, Quranic evidences and also by the sources cited, it has been shown that the accusation of misunderstanding of the Holy Quran regarding divine divinity and Trinitarian monotheism may not be taken as true.
