الأدلة من النصّ
(5)The Quran explicitly states that whoever seeks a religion other than Islam will not have it accepted from him, and he will be among the losers in the Hereafter.
وَمَن يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا فَلَن يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ
The Quran commands the People of the Scripture not to say "three" and affirms that Jesus, son of Mary, is only a messenger of God, His word, and a spirit from Him, while God is one God, far above having a son.
يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ لَا تَغْلُوا فِي دِينِكُمْ وَلَا تَقُولُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْحَقَّ إِنَّمَا الْمَسِيحُ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَكَلِمَتُهُ أَلْقَاهَا إِلَىٰ مَرْيَمَ وَرُوحٌ مِّنْهُ فَآمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَلَا تَقُولُوا ثَلَاثَةٌ انتَهُوا خَيْرًا لَّكُمْ إِنَّمَا اللَّهُ إِلَٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ سُبْحَانَهُ أَن يَكُونَ لَهُ وَلَدٌ لَّهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَكَفَىٰ بِاللَّهِ وَكِيلًا
The Quran declares that those who say God is the third of three have committed unbelief, and warns them of a painful punishment unless they desist.
لَّقَدْ كَفَرَ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ ثَالِثُ ثَلَاثَةٍ وَمَا مِنْ إِلَٰهٍ إِلَّا إِلَٰهٌ وَاحِدٌ وَإِن لَّمْ يَنتَهُوا عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ لَيَمَسَّنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
Jesus himself defines eternal life as knowing "You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent," clearly distinguishing himself from the one true God.
وهذه هي الحياة الابدية ان يعرفوك انت الاله الحقيقي وحدك ويسوع المسيح الذي ارسلته.
The Old Testament commands, "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above," a prohibition that raises questions about the use of icons in Eastern Orthodox practice.
لا تصنع لك تمثالا منحوتا ولا صورة ما مّما في السماء من فوق وما في الارض من تحت وما في الماء من تحت الارض.
الرؤية القرآنية
The Quran presents a clear and consistent monotheistic message: God is one, He has no partners or sons, and Jesus (peace be upon him) is a revered messenger and prophet, not divine . It warns against the doctrine of the Trinity, calling it disbelief , and declares that the only acceptable path to God is submission (Islam) . Turning away from this path is described as foolishness .
الخلاصة
From the Islamic perspective, converting to Eastern Orthodox Christianity would mean abandoning the final and complete revelation of God. The Quran explicitly rejects the core Orthodox doctrines of the Trinity and the divinity of Jesus, while affirming his status as a messenger . Furthermore, the Bible itself, in Jesus' own words, points to the Father as the only true God , and the Old Testament prohibits the making of images —a practice central to Orthodox worship. The sources thus strongly advise against such a conversion.
