1st Note:
Allah says in (Quran 4:171):
{π™°πš—πš 𝚍𝚘 πš—πš˜πš 𝚜𝚊𝚒, "πšƒπš‘πš›πšŽπšŽ"; πšπšŽπšœπš’πšœπš - πš’πš πš’πšœ πš‹πšŽπšπšπšŽπš› πšπš˜πš› 𝚒𝚘𝚞.}
These three were not specified in the Quran, but Allah revealed a general statement to warn us from referring to Allah as a Trinity.
2nd Note:
No matter who these three are, all concepts of the trinity are blasphemous according to the Quran, whether the concept of the trinity aligns with the three main churches or does not.
3rd Note:
Offering any form of worship to any human/object/animal is a major shirk. Whether you call this human as a god or no, you are still worshiping him, and by your worship, this human technically becomes a god.
Final Note:
The word β€˜god’ in Arabic is β€˜ilah’ which refers to anyone or anything that is being worshipped.
Praying to someone (making dua) is a form of worship.
We should only pray to the creator without any mediators in between, otherwise it would be considered as shirk.
