Prophet Jesus' (pbuh) prayers also refute the belief in the trinity. People who pray is assumed to have accepted God's existence and Oneness, their helplessness before Him, and that only He can help them and is worthy of their worship. Prayer is one of the most pleasing forms of submission to God and of awareness of one's helplessness. Our Lord is unsullied by any imperfection, for He is the Lord of infinite might, Who possesses all power and therefore has no needs. Aid and forgiveness can be sought only from God. Everyone stands in need of Him, but He Himself stands in need of no one. The prayers of Prophet Jesus (pbuh) are the most devout indications of his submission to God and his powerful fear [and respect] of Him. According to the Gospels, Prophet Jesus (pbuh) prayed both to thank our Lord and to seek His help, for he knew that only God could grant his requests:
Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed. (Matthew 26:39)… and he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks. (Matthew 14:19)After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone. (Matthew 14:23)Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. (Mark 1:35)After leaving them, he went up on a mountainside to pray. (Mark 6:46)Jesus said to his disciples: "Sit here while I pray." (Mark 14:32)One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. (Luke, 6:12)One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him: "Teacher, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples." (Luke 11:1)But I have prayed for you… that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers. (Luke 22:32)
One of his prayers, as recorded in the Qur'an, recalled the most beautiful titles of God:
And God replied:
Prophet Jesus (pbuh) called upon God to perform this miracle, for he knew that he had no personal or independent power to perform it. He was only a servant charged with showing the people God's infinite art of creation.
