Muhammad an imposter

This section is another funny one for the Muslims. Here, the writer shows his ignorance even further and think in terms of his own religious book.

68. "And is there anyone more wicked than he who deviseth a life of God, or
saith "I have had a revelation" when nothing
PAGE 677
revealed to him?
And who saith I can bring down a book like that which God hath sent down."
(5:93.)

This shows that when Mohammad pretended to have had a revelation
from God, some other imposter also declared that he too had received heavenly
messages, and claimed to be a Prophet. Mohammad must have resorted to his device
(i.e., the publication of the above verse) in order to defeat his opponent and
increase his reputation.

He argues that this verse was made by the Prophet to defeat some other imposter at the time. This only shows the lack of knowledge of the writer. A few people had claimed partnership with the Prophet after his passing away but he had no competition. The writer needs to read history which he obviously hasn’t read at all.
The Quran is for all mankind for all times and the writer of it knew about the future. This is a universal verse applivable for all times and not like the writer’s own book which became useless when it became badly corrupt.

Later in this same topic, the writer repeats his points about the devil.

This section is the most useless and not worth replying at all. It is a fundamental belief of Islam that everything is a test from Allah. Here the writer alleges that Allah did not know about past, present or future and creating Satan turned out to be a mistake which He did not know about in advance. Such a claim shows only ignorance of Islamic beliefs. The life is a test for the hereafter and everything is by the will of Allah. Anything we might not like is a test from Allah and each person is given a test according to his or her own power.

[002:286] Allah does not burden any soul beyond its endurance. For it is what it earns, and against it is what it commits. “Our Lord, do not condemn us for what we forget, or err. Our Lord, do not levy upon us the (kind of) burden You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, do not impose upon us a burden that is greater than our strength to withstand. Pardon us, grant us forgiveness, and have mercy on us. You are our Protector! Grant us victory over the nation of unbelievers!
