Over a billion Muslims believe that Allah answers prayers.

So I have a question for those Christians who believe that Allah is a false god: how is it possible that Allah is answering so many prayers? If Allah isn't real, then he should not have the ability to answer prayers. And yet 1.6 billion Muslims believe that Allah answers prayers.

What is going on?

Maybe not. Exodus talks about how Pharoah's magicians were able to duplicate some of the same signs that God did through Moses. I'd be curious to see what kind of answers these Muslims think they're receiving.

The same answers you think you are receiving. A child accepted into a good school. A new job. Guidance on what to do in life.

Funny that strong believers in any religion fail to understand how someone can believe in another one. What is the difference between a Muslim praying to his God, a Christian praying to his God or a Hindu praying to one of theirs? And if one is so quick to brush off someone else's God why be surprised if others dismiss yours?

Have you ever met a Muslim, or have a friend who is Muslim? If so, you might assuage your curiosity by asking.

We do not call them "these Muslims." It is arrogant and dismissive. We call them family, friends, and neighbors.

It's only delusional if the god they think is answering their prayers is not your god, and/or the reasons the prayers are answered are not your answers.

You have no more standing then they to say that god answers your prayers.
