In a nutshell, the doctrine of a Trinity is that God is one being and three persons. To contrast, in Islam, Allah is one being and one person (like human beings). One model that can be used to understand it is that God has three "centres of consciousness", as opposed to one. The reason that Christians should believe it is that the Bible teaches that there is one God, that the Father, Son and Spirit are distinct persons, and all three are God. Sadly, however, many Christians either have a poor understanding of it, or just accept it without consideration (as they often do with many things).
