Many people make pacts with the devil to acquire worldly riches, knowledge, fame, power and other earthly pleasures in exchange for selling their souls to Satan himself."
This part confuses me. It may be different in the Quran, but the bible talks about you needing to ask forgiveness to get into heaven. Meaning everyone goes to hell by default. So what's the point of selling your soul? Is it just the equivalent of agreeing to not worship the Abrahamic god?
He is an "avowed enemy". Hey, all I have to do to not be his enemy is to treat him as an equal, right? For some reason, Allah wanted him to serve men, but I don't need someone to serve me. Nor do I plan to worship either one of them. If he wanted to hag out with me, we could do that. This whole mess is basically god's screw up anyway.
The Bible, for the most part, is corrupted. Man is born clean of sin. Those who sell their soul no longer reason, unless they repent before it is too late. Noah and those who went with him repopulated the land (monotheists). His three sons, Japheth, Shem and Ham, believed in God. The true religion remains in the line of Shem while other children of his brothers moved away from the memory of God. Not only is the God of Abraham, also his father and his ancestors until Adam. God does not make mistakes. What mistake has God made? Is the fault of God because Satan has disobeyed him? The error (sin) is from satan.
If he's the one who started it all, and has the power and knowledge to fix the problem, yet the problem hasn't been fixed, then he's largely responsible. Does he expect us puny, stupid Humans to fix it? Does your lord wish for all to get into heaven? If yes, do at least most people achieve that? If not, he messed up somewhere along the way.
I will give props to islam for not saying we're all born in sin, and go to hell by default. It's still partly based on, or inspired by, religions with errors in them, though.
