God does not punish somebody if they didn't hear the revelation. They are not at a disadvantage.
But i agree the quran still has some good advice within it, and I'm sure muslims believe everything in the quran is good advice for example not drinking alcohol or eating pork and women covering up their bodies, in hot countries some people believe rising testosterone accounts for higher crime rate which would be hindered slightly by women covering up more. But that being the case why would god not give this good advice to the world?
And ok if the quran is a test like you claim then why is most of the world going to remain untested before death? The majority of the world might have heard of the quran now, maybe or maybe not. But before the recent invention of the internet and global travel and communications the quran would have only been revealed to an extreme minority. Why is god relying on man to spread a message?
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
