Sūrah Āli ʿImrān, 3:85Instead of directly answering your points I will instead insha`Allāh make a number of general points here in which the points you raise will be answered by the permission of Allāh.

Say: This is my path, I call unto Allāh upon clear evidence (baṣīrah), I and those who follow me. And how free is Allāh from all imperfection, and I am not from amongst the polytheists.
