Allah beguiles people

“God truly will mislead whom He will; and He will guide to Himself him who turneth to Him.” (13: 23)

C. ~ When God beguiles people, what is there to distinguish Him from Satan? If Satan is condemned for beguiling people, why should not God be regarded as a greater Satan for doing the same thing, and why should He not be condemned to a residence in hell for the sin of beguiling others?

“Thus then, as a code in the Arabic tongue, have we sent down the Qoran; and truly, if after the knowledge that hath reached thee thou follow their desires, thou shalt have no guardian nor protector against God.”(13: 38.)

C. How did God send down the Qoran? Does God live high up in the skies? If this be true, He cannot be God, being confined to a particular locality, for God is All-pervading. To carry or deliver messages is the function of a courier, and since God is confined to a particular locality, he must needs have one. And to keep an account (in dealings with others) becomes a man but no God who is Omniscient. If follows from such statements of the Qoran that it is the work of a human being, possessed of limited intelligence.

“And he ordained that the sun and moon shall always wander. Verily, man is an oppressor, and a heretic.” (14: 27.)

C. ~ Do the sun and moon only keep always wandering? Does not the earth wander too? It the earth did not revolve, each day and night would extend over many years. If man is disposed by nature to be cruel, and a heretic, it becomes useless to send him a warning through the Qoran. For, those, who are inherently disposed to do evil, will never be disposed to do good. As a matter of fact, there are both good and wicked men in this world. Hence it is evident from all this that no book which contains such preposterous teaching can be from God.

“And when I shall have fashioned him and breathed of my spirit into him; then fall ye down and worship him.” “O my Lord; because, thou hast beguiled me, I will surely make all fair seeming to them on the earth; I will surely beguile them all.” (15: 29, 39.)

C. ~ If God breathed His spirit into Adam, then Adam also became God. If Adam was not God, then why did God let him share the homage due to Him only? When God is the beguiler of Satan, why should not He, being His preceptor, be regarded as a greater Devil than Satan, for, while the Muslims look upon Satan as the beguiler it is really God who beguiles Satan. Again when Satan said in the presence of God, “I shall beguile then all,” why did not God inflict upon him punishment and throw him into a dungeon, yea, why did not He kill him?
