A Very Concerned Reader : How does the Qur'an define who is a "God"?

Most Muslims have no idea what is in their books. The Qur'an defines who is a "god" in Surat al-Hajj 73 and it says:

ان الذين تدعون من دون الله لن يخلقوا ذبابا

Or: Truly those that you invoke besides Allah will not create a fly

Notice that a fly, as in house fly, is a ذبابة

So anyone who can create even a ذبابة is a God in Islam

Now let us turn to Quran Surat al-Safat: 125 where it says:

اتعدون بعلا وتذرون احسن الخالقين

Or: Do you call Ba'l and abandon THE BEST OF THOSE THAT CREATE

This is an absolute disaster:

1. Ba'l is a Semitic Mesopotamian fertility God and Allah seems to be comparing himself with Ba'al

2. The verse describes Allah as: احسن الخالقين or The best of those that create! This means that Ba'l is also a creator too! And indeed Ba'l was a deity of fertility.

3. Therefore, we have a second creator in the Qur'an

4. It also means that we must have more creators that can create as little as a house fly

5. Jesus in the Qur'an created life. Example? He did breath and created life in clay birds

6. More? al-Mufasereen tell us that the one that did the breathing in the vagina of Mariam is Surat al-Tahrim 12 is Gabriel. So Gabriel created life and the outcome was the Quanic 'Essa

So, the Qur'an really says that there are 4 gods: Allah, Ba'l, Jesus and Gabriel

And more evidence that Muslims have no clue about the disasters in their book

PS: I will provide you, when I have the time, with the reading of Surat al-Ahzab: 40 so stay tuned
