If Allah whom Muhammad spoke for was truly all knowing, why is it not reflected in Muhammad's knowledge of contaminated drinking water?
Sunan Abu Dawud 67--I heard that the people asked the Prophet of Allah (peace be upon him): Water is brought for you from the well of Buda’ah. It is a well in which dead dogs, menstrual cloths and excrement of people are thrown. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) replied: Verily water is pure and is not defiled by anything.

Things get worse, however. In the following passage from Ibn Majah, we learn that it's okay to drink water with a dead donkey carcass floating in it!
Sunan Ibn Majah 520--It was narrated that Jabir bin Abdullah said: "We came to a pond in which there was the carcass of a donkey, so we refrained from using the water until the Messenger of Allah came to us and said: 'Water is not made impure by anything.' Then we drank from it and gave it to our animals to drink, and we carried some with us."

And let's not forget this gem:
Sunan Ibn Majah 521--It was narrated that Abu Umamah Al-Bahili said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'Water is not made impure by anything except that which changes its smell, taste and color.'"
|
This is, of course, totally false. Water can be filled with deadly germs, protoza, and many other things that do not affect smell, taste, or color.
Let's conclude with a classic:

Sahih al-Bukhari 5782--Allah’s Messenger said, “If a fly falls in the vessel of any of you, LET HIM DIP ALL OF IT (into the vessel) and then throw it [i.e. the fly] away, for IN ONE OF ITS WINGS THERE IS A DISEASE and IN THE OTHER THERE IS HEALING (antidote for it) i.e. the treatment for that disease.”

We now have present day confirmation that flies do not carry the antidote for illnesses but rather just the disease.
If I were a Muslim looking for something miraculous to justify Islam, I would argue that it was a miracle that Muhammad's followers didn't all die from the germs and diseases he exposed them to with his horribly unsanitary rulings! Then again Muhammad's cure is equally as ridiculous.

Sahih Al-Bukhari: Volume 1, Book 4, Number 234:
Narrated Abu Qilaba: Anas said, “Some people of ‘Ukl or ‘Uraina tribe came to Medina and its climate did not suit them. So the Prophet ordered them to go to the herd of [Milch] camels and to drink their milk and urine [as a medicine]. So they went as directed and after they became healthy, they killed the shepherd of the Prophet and drove away all the camels.” |
Conclusion
If a Muslim were to ever practice the hygiene suggested by Allah within the pages of the Qur'an, they'd be dead even in any modern country. Water is easily polluted and modern societies go through great lengths to ensure water is purified to drinking standards and flies are well known for being the carriers of all sorts of diseases. For the Qur'an to blatantly go against such commonly known knowledge (even known back in 600 AD) would plainly indicate that the Islamic Allah is not all knowing. Worse yet it would make Allah the worst of deceivers, attempting to kill even his own followers. Interestingly one of Allah's 99 names is the 'BEST DECIEVER'. Knowing this why would anyone (even Muslims) entrust themselves to such a fickle and EVIL god?
Allah's enemy is the Christian God of Israel. Unlike Allah's completely wrong information, the God of the Bible shows an impressive and even modern understanding of germs, disease, and how to contain and prevent them. So much so that this all knowing God of the Bible, named Yahweh or the Adonai, has written into the Bible over 3500 yrs ago even the modern recipe for Lye Soap.
This God of Israel is characterized as pure and holy with no deceit in Him. All His promises and information within the pages of the Bible are 100% believable and trustworthy to the point that modern science, medicine, history, and archaeology have consistently proven (usually against their desire) that the Bible is correct in everything it says. The Bible says all men without exception are sinful and need the savior Christ Jesus who was 100% God and 100% man at the same time. This Jesus willing took the place of everyone and their punishment before a holy, perfect God, so that whomever believes in Him would be saved and get to Heaven free of any works. After being dead for 3 days, Jesus proved He was God by raising Himself from the dead. Won't you pray this and accept Jesus as savior today?

Dear Lord God. I know I am a sinner and need your gift of salvation from my sins. I BELIEVE IN JESUS, the Son of God, as my personal Savior. I believe that His death on the cross and resurrection provides forgiveness for ALL my sins past, present, & future. Please forgive all my sins and come into my heart and life. I hereby trust in Jesus FINISHED WORK alone, and NOT upon me & my "good works", as sufficient to make me right with you and fit for Heaven. Please forgive ALL my sins and come into my heart, Lord Jesus. Seal me with your Holy Spirit until the day you come to take me home. In your Son Jesus’ name. Amen.
