When Israel accepts Christ as the Elijah,... returned as had been promised in Mal 4:6,... Islam will be faced with the arguments from both Christians and Jews, that Trinity does contradict Mohammed.
Trinity is founded upon the fact that Reality does have a son, called Truth. The Holy Spirit of Truth enters into those who believe in Truth.

The signs in 32AD pointed out that both Elijah and Christ performed essentially the same works. According to the Encyclopedia  Judaica, tradition has always told the Jews to look for the same kinds of miracles again, in order to identify The Elijah when he would re-appear in the future.

Link to: Jewish Encyclopedia: The Seven Miracles for Elijah, returned.

1) Both Elijah and Christ raised the dead:

John 20:25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the LORD. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.



3) Both Elijah and Christ ascended into Heaven before witnesses:

 Matthew 2:3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.  And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.


5) Both Elijah and Christ were threatened by the authorities with death: 

1 Kings 19:14 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.


John 11:53 Then from that day forth they took counsel together for to put him to death.


6) Both Elijah and Christ were hunted by the Jewish authorities:

1 Kings 19:14 And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.


John 7:25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?

Matthew 14:25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.


10) Both Elijah and Christ let a person follow them across the water: 

2 Kings 2:14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is the LORD God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.


Matthew 14:29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.


11) Both Elijah and Christ wrote one thing, a letter, to people on Earth AFTER they had ascended:


2 Chronicles 21:12 And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,


Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:


12) Both Elijah and Christ appointed a successor, Elisha, by Elijah, and Peter, by Christ:


2 Kings 2:9 And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.


Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.



13) Both Elijah and Christ gave a successor the power to raise the dead:


2 Kings 8:5 And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.

Acts 3:6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.


15) Both Elijah and Christ gave a successor a symbolic authority, the cloak to one, the keys to the other:


1 Kings 19:19 So he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth: and Elijah passed by him, and cast his mantle upon him.

16) Both Elijah and Christ asked that the this "cup" be taken from them:


 1 Kings 19:4 But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers.


 Matthew 26:39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.


17) Both Elijah and Christ had miraculous births:


Three different theories regarding Elijah's origin are presented in the Haggadah: Mention must be made of a statement which, though found only in the later cabalistic literature (Yal?u? Reubeni, Bereshit, 9a, ed. Amsterdam), seems nevertheless to be very old (see Epiphanius, l.c.), and according to which Elijah was an angel in human form, so that he had neither parents nor offspring.


Matthew1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.


18) Both Elijah and Christ destroyed the pagan worshippers and priests. Elijah destroyed the priests of Baal, the other, the Pantheon of Rome, 380AD:


1 Kings 18:40 And Elijah said unto them, Take the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape. And they took them: and Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and slew them there.


History: Universal Christianity in 380AD

Revelation 20:4  I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They[a] had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.


19) Both Elijah and Christ were promised faithfulness three times, Elisha in the former and Peter, in the latter:


2 Kings 2:2 I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel.

2 Kings 2:4 I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.

2 Kings 2:6 I will not leave thee. And they two went on.


John 21:17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.


20) Both Elijah and Christ condemned a Jezebel:

2 Kings 9:36
Wherefore they came again, and told him. And he said, This is the word of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the portion of Jezreel shall dogs eat the flesh of Jezebel:


Rev2:20 Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.  Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.


21) Both Elijah and Christ  re-dedicated the Israelite people to God by raising up a new altar or temple:

 

1 Ki 18:30 And Elijah said unto all the people, Come near unto me. And all the people came near unto him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD that was broken down.  And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, unto whom the word of the LORD came, saying, Israel shall be thy name:


John 2:19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.


22) Both Elijah and Christ chose one man upon which to build his following:

2 Kings 2:15 And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.


Matthew 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.


23) Both Elijah and Christ were subject of a three day 'search' for their presence:

2 Kings 2:1 And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.

Luke 2:46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.

Elijah's Cup
A place setting remains empty for Elijah the prophet, the honored guest at EVERY Passover table. The Jewish people expect Elijah to come at Passover and announce the coming of the Messiah (Malachi 4:5). 
So a place is set, a cup is filled with wine, and hearts are expectant for Elijah to come and announce the Good News.
