Salam. Do you have any works or book recommendations addressing something similar to the following argument?
God deceived the people into believing Jesus was crucified which led to a false religion (since there is no resurrection without the crucifixion which is the foundation of Christianity) which is bigger than Islam. Since God is all knowing, it’s plausible he wouldn’t do this. Thus Islam is false.
I’ve raised a few objections. 1) the text does not say Allah deceived the people, you could only say He deceived those who aimed to kill Christ. 2) you cannot claim making the crucifixion appear so is equivalent to creating Christianity since the crucifixion does not causally relate to the resurrection. 3) we believe in a God with multiple attributes, including wisdom, not just knowledge. So your claim “It’s plausible God wouldn’t do this” is unjustified
