I'm sure this is later contradicted, of course. Like just about everything in every holy book is, so that you can pick the bits you like better.
How so?
Sura1, speaks about a prayer from the believers to God,
Thanking him,
Asking him for guidance,
To keep us away from the road of the ones whom he is angry on,
To keep us away from the road of those who went astray.
(the above is a full cover of the Sura).
But it has a direct mention to that God, is the owner of the day of judgement. That also, contradicts the "puppet master" theory, that states that God is controlling us like puppets.
