We believe that Allah alone dispenses divine grace and that Muhammad is just a human being, not a partner with Allah.

Muslims often emphasize the absolute monotheism of their faith, claiming that only Allah is worthy of worship and that Muhammad is merely a human prophet. However, a closer examination of Islamic texts reveals that Muhammad is depicted as having a significant role in dispensing Allah's grace. For instance, verses in the Quran explicitly mention that both Allah and His Apostle provide bounty to believers, suggesting a partnership in divine grace. This is contrary to the Islamic teaching that associating partners with Allah is a grave sin known as shirk. Therefore, the portrayal of Muhammad as a partner in divine grace challenges the Islamic assertion of strict monotheism. Moreover, the Quran warns against associating partners with Allah, yet it simultaneously attributes to Muhammad a role in the distribution of divine blessings. This contradiction raises critical questions about the nature of monotheism in Islam. If Muhammad shares in the attributes of Allah, it undermines the claim that Allah is unique and without partners. The verses that highlight this partnership not only conflict with the Islamic understanding of God's singularity but also indicate a broader interpretation of Muhammad's role in the faith. In conclusion, while Muslims may claim that their religion is strictly monotheistic, the evidence from their own scriptures suggests otherwise. The partnership between Allah and Muhammad in dispensing grace contradicts the foundational Islamic principle of tawhid, or the oneness of God, and invites further exploration into the implications of such beliefs.
