In 625 AD was the battle of UHUD,near Mecca,where 3,000 Meccans defeatd 1,000 Muslims.The Muslims were in shock.Allah says he let them be defeated so he COULD KNOW who was a real believer,who wasn’t.
SURA 3:140:
“If you have received a blow, the (disbelieving) people have received a blow the like thereof. These are the vicissitudes which We cause to follow one another for mankind, to the END that ALLAH MAY KNOW those WHO BELIEVE and MAY CHOOSE WITNESSES from AMONG YOU; and Allah loves not wrong-doers.”
ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS:
The 3 Muslims(PICKTHAL(British convert)/SHAKIR/YUSUFALI) all say “MAY KNOW” in regard to Allah:

apart from this, isnt it strange that all allahs messangers (noah, abraham, adam, lot etc etc) were muslims and they were sent 2 earth 2 preach islam. but how come none of the succeeded in it so allah had 2 send his millionth messanger muhammad in order to restore the message? isnt this also a kind of sign that allah is not all-knowing. i mean he had been spending so much time on spreading islam but only muhammad managed to do it. all his other messangers failed. so what was the purpose of sending them, if i may ask?
it looks from ur article that he always needs some tests in order 2 discover the truth. i mean, true god should know stuff in advance and not embarrass himself like allah..
Hello Debora:
The case against the Koran is ACCUMULATIVE.It is not justone thing or two but like 5 or more details.Of course anybody is free to believe what they wish but religious Muslims,when in power,due to a fear of hell,take away freedom of religion as it should be.
