The answer in brief

machinesummary, machine-written

No: following the Sunnah is of course not akin to the Trinity.

In more detail

A super chat says the Quran is strictly against the Christian Trinity but encourages following the Sunnah, and asks whether that could be interpreted as similar to the Trinity. Mufti Abu Layth says he cannot understand the question, wonders whether he is short of sleep, and jokes about what the questioner is smoking. His quick answer is that of course it is not.

Question as read aloud · questioner not identified
The Quran is strictly speaking against the Christian Trinity, but at the same time it encourages us to follow the Sunnah. Couldn't that be interpreted similar to the Trinity?
