Why Allah cannot be a God
If you are a Muslim and can tell me why Allah
is a God, please read my FAQ,
and if your question is not answered there,
contact
me. I will answer your question and will
include it in my FAQ section.
There are many reasons why Allah cannot be a
God:
1) Quran shows no signs
of being a divine book.
This can be subdivided into:
a) There are no miracles in Quran, and thus
no sign that men or man could not have created
this book.
b) Instead, Quran has wrong science in it,
and wrong moral ideas.
c) If Quran was truely from God, it would contain
knowledge that we are not aware of yet. You
think Quran has science? Read about the pre-Islamic
scientific World and the wonderful scientists
who were born before Islam came. If Quran wanted
to convey science, why did it not convey all
the science we know of? Instead, it conveyed
either common sense, OR ideas stolen from Greek
scientists. There is every reason I can give
to tell you how Mohammed stole from Greeks.
Remember, you do not have to be educated
to hear a scientists knowledge from far-away
lands, and lie to people around you to claim
the scientific knowledge as "revealed"
from God!
Thus the claim that Mohammed was not educated
and could not have known all this, is FALSE!

d) A real God would not allow his important message
to be taken in a wrong way:
Quran is supposed to be an important message for humanity,
rioght. If Quran was an important message to humanity
from a real God, its Creator would have made SURE that
the message would not be taken in a wrong way. The day
is coming when more and more people are hating Islam.
Assuming that Quran was from God, it is unfortunate
to be born in such an era, where this important message
of God is being hated so much.
Would the real creator (if he exists) allow any of His
dear creation to be born in a place where His message
was being hated so much, and thus not receive the message
in the correct context? Ofcourse not.
The message of a Real God to his creation, would be
very important and there would be NO one who would be
able to tarnish the clean image of his message.
We have sane people finding faults with Quran and talking
about using it as toilet paper. Would a real God allow
this to happen to his message?
Not if he thought his message was important!
God wants to test us? For what? Are we the guineu pigs
of the Universe? No, we're not! God doesnt even have
any rights on us!
e) God would never declare his previous messages to
be false, and only the latest one(Islam) to be true.
A real God would NEVER say this:
"And if any believe not in Allah and His Messenger,
We have prepared, for those who reject Allah, a Blazing
Fire!" -Quran 48:13
This verse is clearly talking about Islam and not just
any Messenger or religion. There is another verse which
says that "no religion will be accepted of man
except Islam". (3:85).
f) A real God would not violate our rights.
Besides the above reasons, there is another logical
explanation of why Allah cannot be a God.
Allah is a God who becomes offended if you abuse or
disobey him. What kind of weak God is that?
Here is an explanation, of why:
1) God cannot be offended when man abuses him. 2) Allah
cannot be a true god. I will present two approaches
to prove this. First, I will prove by logical reasoning
that Allah cannot be a God. Then, I will present an
analogy to support my claim further.
2) Logical Reasoning
God is supposed to be an infinitely powerful being.
It is not possible to have any power or influence over
an infinitely powerful being. It is not possible to
effect God in any way.
I cannot make God angry, niether can I make him happy.
If I could make God happy or angry, it would mean that
I have some control over God's emotions. Thus, I would
have some control over God. But such a God, whose emotions
(anger) I can control, cannot be a God. When even a
billion blackholes, which have the power to bend light,
due to enormous gravitational attraction, cannot effect
God, then can I, a 65 Kg man, effect God in any way?
No.Now, let us study Allah, the God of Muslims. A muslim
is told to worship Allah and praise him. Allah created
man to worship him (Q:51.56). We know that Allah will
punish all those who dont beleive in him Quran 48.13
"And if any believe not in Allah and His Messenger,
We have prepared, for those who reject Allah, a Blazing
Fire!" Thus, if Allah will punish anyone who does'nt
beleive in him, he will also punish anyone who abuses
him. But if Allah punishes anyone who abuses him, it
means that Allah is offended when a human abuses him.
This means that a human being can offend Allah, by either
disobeying his orders, or abusing him. If a human can
offend Allah, it means that the human being has control
over Allah's emotions. A human being has control over
Allah's anger and thus has partial control over Allah.
But we know from our earlier discussion, that a being
cannot be a God, if its emotions can be controlled by
a human being.
Note: Abusing another human is a different matter, because
a human can be effected by abuse, since she/he is not
infinitely powerful, as God is. It makes sense to say
that if God existed, he would provide justice to all
those who were abused in any way, and would give punishment
to those who abused the humans. BUT, God would not be
angry at the criminals. The role of a good judge is
to provide justice, without being effected by hate or
anger, induced by the criminal. If Allah can become
angry due to a human abusing him, the rule of Allah
being the strongest entity is violated. Conclusion:
Allah, the God of Muslims, can not be a God. Now I will
present an analogy to make this explanation more clear.
Analogy
A guy whom we shall call 'X', is doing a study on social
behaviors, decides to do an experiment. He wants to
see the reaction of abuse on different types of people.
He goes out on a street to meet people and chooses one
guy whom he calls 'A'.
X says some verbal abuse and racial remarks to 'A'.
But 'A' is a cool-headed guy and does not mind the abuse.
Instead, he thinks to himself, that this guy must be
insane. 'A' does not let his anger grow and just looks
on to 'X' with amusement and raises his eyebrows and
then ignores ‘X’, thinking its nothing to
be serious about. X notes down the reaction of 'A' in
his research journal and walks away to find another
guy, whom he calls 'B'. Now, ‘B’ is a hot
headed guy, who can become angry on the smallest of
things. ‘X’ calls him some verbal abuse along
with racial remarks. ‘B’'s anger shoots up
very quickly and his blood begins to boil. He starts
abusing ‘X’ in return, making even bigger
and more vulgar abuse to ‘X’, telling him
to '#$^@ off'. ‘B’ starts coming near ‘X’
and it looks like hes ready to punch X in the face.
Before ‘B’ can do that, ‘X’ runs
away for his life and disappears.
His study is complete. Which person, 'A' or 'B', has
the greater character strength ? If you were to choose
a leader for a group, who would you choose between 'A'
and 'B' ? The vast majority of people would chose 'A'
as the leader, who has more strong character, and has
proven to be more resistant to attacks than ‘B’.
Lets transfer this example to God’s. Suppose there
are two God's.
One of them is God ‘B’, who is a sensitive
God and for him, its easy to become angry when a human
abuses him. So down on the planet, there is a man who
abuses God B. God B becomes angry and he plans to punish
the human for what he did. The God plans to burn the
human and give him all sorts of pain when he dies. The
other God, called God A, is cool-headed and when He
sees a human being abuse Him, He doesn't mind, because
his ego is not so sensitive as that of God B. God A
loves humans unconditionally and infinitely. When He
sees the human abuse Him, he thinks to himself that
this human might be crazy and he forgives that human.
He knows that abuse doesn't effect him. He still loves
the human, and he knows that a human cannot harm Him
in any way. When the human will die, he will see for
himself, how loving God is.
So God A says to himself : “Nevermind, he's a human,
my loved creation, it doesn’t matter to me if he
believes in me or not. His belief or disbelief does
not effect ME because I have infinite power over all
things. I cannot be effected by even a million black
holes, let alone a 65 kg 5’6” tall human,
who will live only 70 years.” Which of the Gods,
A or B, is more strong and loving ? Which of God do
you think rules the universe?
A large majority of the people would choose God 'A',
the one who is not affected by human abuse or love and
loves his creation infinitely. If Allah is infinite
in power, he is infinite in strength of personal character.
If Allah can become angry due to a human abusing him,
the rule of Allah being the strongest entity is violated.
Conclusion:
God, if exists, does not and cannot become angry
when a human praises/abuses him. Thus, Allah, the
god of Muslims, who can be offended by abuse, can
NOT be a true god.
