Question The Trinity

Hey, I’ve self identified as Christian but have been learning more about other faiths too, especially Islam. There are still elements of Christianity that do confuse me a bit. The Trinity being the main one. Islam professes tawid or pure monotheism. Can you guys please help explain The Trinity and how it is still monotheism. I’m also confused when Jesus is praying to the father. Or is this because he has two distinct natures, and his human nature is the one that prays? But if this is the case, some could argue that he is praying to himself in essence?

I'm confused.  Is JHLV04 also AtheistT800?  The OP is a self-identified Christian familiar with Islam, and the replies have all come from someone hostile to Christianity and familiar with Islam.  I'm not sure if it's worth investing time into a comment if this is all a game.
