Another Clear Proof of the Man-Made Nature of Allah in the Quran

 Another Clear Proof of the Man-Made Nature of Allah in the Quran

By Dr. Maxwell Shimba | Shimba Theological Institute

One of the glaring theological inconsistencies found within the Quran is exposed in passages such as Surah 23:14 and Surah 37:125, where Allah is referred to as “the best of creators.”

Quran 23:14:

“…Blessed be Allah, the best of creators.”

Quran 37:125:

“Will you call upon Baal and forsake the best of creators?”

Now, this raises an unsettling theological question for any serious student of monotheism: If Allah is ‘the best of creators,’ who are the other creators he is competing against?

The very phrase “best of creators” presupposes the existence of multiple creators — a notion fundamentally incompatible with the pure monotheism (Tawhid) Islam claims to uphold. In biblical theology, the God of the Bible declares without ambiguity:

Isaiah 45:5 (ESV):

“I am the LORD, and there is no other, besides me there is no God.”

There is no suggestion of competing deities or creators — because in true monotheism, there can only be one Creator. The God of the Bible is exclusively sovereign over creation, without rival or peer.

The Quran’s wording betrays its human authorship, reflecting the polytheistic and syncretistic environment of 7th-century Arabia, where multiple deities and creators were commonly believed in. By inadvertently preserving this pluralistic language, the Quran confirms its own origins in the context of man-made, cultural mythology rather than divine revelation.

Conclusion:
Passages like these serve as theological proof that Allah, as presented in the Quran, is a product of human invention — a god competing within a pantheon rather than reigning alone in sovereign supremacy. This stands in sharp contrast to the consistent, absolute monotheism of the Bible.

Stay tuned for more scriptural and doctrinal contrasts as we continue to shed light on the differences between biblical truth and Quranic mythology.
