Sam Shamoun
Tawhid is irrational and polytheistic, as Allah has multiple uncreated entities (Quran, Spirit) and anthropomorphic body parts, making him a finite, temporal being.

Definitional alignment
When the same word means two different things, the entire exchange becomes contestable. Below: every term where the debaters did not agree on a definition.
- Tawhidnot alignedDaniel Haqiqatjou
The absolute oneness of God, where God is one, has one will, one knowledge, and no division into multiple persons or energies.
Sam ShamounA concept claimed by Muslims but which, when examined through Islamic texts, reveals a plurality of uncreated entities (Quran, Spirit) and anthropomorphic attributes, making it a form of polytheism or modalism.

- Trinitynot alignedDaniel Haqiqatjou
A logical contradiction where Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are claimed to be one God but are not identical beings, possessing separate knowledge and wills, thus constituting polytheism.
Sam ShamounThe one true God existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, where the Son has a divine mind shared with the Father and limitations in his human mind, not a two-mind scenario in the polytheistic sense.

Disobeying God's law, for which one can ask for forgiveness.
Sam ShamounA moral move of the will against the good, away from God's law.

- Uncreatednot alignedDaniel Haqiqatjou
The Quran is uncreated, but it does not have a mind or personhood, thus not contradicting monotheism.
Sam ShamounIf the Quran is uncreated and can interact with Allah, it implies multiple distinct eternal entities, contradicting Tawhid. Also, if Allah has body parts, he is a finite, temporal, embodied being.
