Mr. MRS has asked some valid questions to Mr. Md. Mahmoodul Haque. Unlike wishful/blind believers, I hope that Mr. Haque will inquire more to come up with some rational explanations on the thoughtful questions asked by Mr. MRS. I thank Mr. MRS for thinking deep on the "Islamic belief " and for raising the questions for getting better explanations. We must not be made blind by the blind believers!

Dear Mr. Md. Mahmoodul Haque,
I am reading your articles with special attention. You seem to have vast knowledge especially on science and religion. I have a few query. I would request you to explain with logic and necessary references.
Regarding the first revelation to Prophet Muhammad (S): After getting first revelation Prophet Muhammad (S) HIMSELF did not know what really happened to him. He then went back home and informed the event to his wife Khadija. Then Khadija took him to her cousin Warraq Naufal and told him what happened to Prophet Muhammad (S). Warraq Naufal (a Jews converted to Christianity) confirmed him that it was a revelation. I have a few questions on it:
1. How come Prophet Muhammad (S) HIMSELF didn't know that it was a revelation to him? 2. How did Warraq Naufal confirmed him that it was a
revelation? 3. Warraq Naufal just inferred it based on the then religious book, right. 4. Now the thing is as Naufal said and thats why it was considered as revelation (maybe it was not). 5. Or what if Naufal would say that it was not a revelation (but actually it was), would it not be considered as revelation? 6. That means, it was completely depending upon what Naufal said, right. 7. If Naufal was so sure that it was really a revelation he should have been the first converted. But there is no reference that Naufal was converted or just wanted to be.
What would you say if I say that Islam is just standing on the word of Warraq Naufal?
8. In what circumstance(s) Allah Taala told Prophet Muhammad (S) that the then religious scripture needs to be changed, I mean there needs another scripture? Did Allah Taala really told him anyway?
9. What were the wrongs with Bible so that Allah Taala decided to send Quran? Why
Allah Taala did not promise to save Torah and Bible from corruption as He has promised in Quran? Was it a wrong from his side?
Regarding Satan:
Who created Satan/Evil-Nafs? If not Allah, then Satan is either self created or another God has created him. Then Allah is not all in all. If Allah created him, then what we hear/know regarding Satan is just riddiculous. Whatever good/bad things are happening in the universe is the cause of Allah then. What is your comment on this.
