Muhammad Quotes

God has ways of shaking the world when He is at work. He literally caused the ground to quake when Jesus died on the cross.

If he is infinitely good, what reason should we have to fear him? If he is infinitely wise, why should we have doubts concerning our future? If he knows all, why warn him of our needs and fatigue him with our prayers? If he is everywhere, why erect temples to him? If he is just, why fear that he will punish the creatures that he has filled with weaknesses?

God works in mysterious, inefficient, and breathtakingly cruel ways.

Order is manifestly maintained in the universe... governed by the sovereign will of God.

The die is set and Malcolm will not escape for the foolish talk he spoke against his benefactor, such a man, is worthy of death, and it would have been so, were it not for Muhammad's confidence that God would give him the victory over the enemies.

The God of Quran is trying to unskin Muslims from their humanity. Muslims are good people. But their God is absolutely bad.

All the lessons of history in four sentences: Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad with power. The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly small. The bee fertilizes the flower it robs. When it is dark enough, you can see the stars.

It is impossible to imagine the universe run by a wise, just and omnipotent God, but it is quite easy to imagine it run by a board of gods.

If I were God, I would just be up there scratching my head, thinking, 'What the hell am I supposed to do with this?' For everyone helping an old lady across the street, there's someone else bludgeoning a person to death. And sometimes they're the same. How can He separate us all out?

Because one doesn't like the way things are is no reason to be unjust towards God.

If ye despise the human race, and mortal arms, yet remember that there is a God who is mindful of right and wrong.

The idea of God as a fatherly figure who looks down on us and worries about how we're doing or takes sides when we have fights - it's more irritating than Santa Claus. The world and the universe are far more wonderful if there's not a puppet master.

It must never be forgotten that Almighty God rules this world. He is not an absentee God.

The efficiency of God may be understood as either creation or providence.
