Sunni Islam & Predestination
According to the supposed authentic (sahih) narrations of Islam, Allah has already predestined everything that takes place, and every word, deed, etc. that creatures will do:
42 Model Behavior of the Prophet (Kitab Al-Sunnah)
(1693) Chapter: Belief In Divine Decree
Ubadah b. al Samit said to his son: Son! You will not get the taste of the reality of faith until you know that what has come to you could not miss you, and that what has missed you could not come to you. I heard the Messenger of Allah say: The first thing Allah created was the pen. He said to it: Write. It asked: What should I write, my Lord? He said: Write what was decreed about everything till the Last Hour comes. Son! I heard the Messenger of Allah say: He who dies on something other than this does not belong to me.

(10) Chapter: Regarding the Divine Decree (Qadr)
It was narrated that Suraqah bin Ju'shum said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, is one's deed in that which has already dried of the Pen and what has passed of the Divine Decree, or is it in the future?' He said: 'No, it is in that which he already dried of the Pen and what has passed of the Divine Decree, and each person is facilitated for what he has been created.'"

82 Divine Will (Al-Qadar)
(2) Chapter: The pen has become dry with Allah's Knowledge
Narrated `Imran bin Husain:
A man said, "O Allah's Messenger! Can the people of Paradise be known (differentiated) from the people of the Fire; The Prophet replied, "Yes." The man said, "Why do people (try to) do (good) deeds?" The Prophet said, "Everyone will do the deeds for which he has been created to do or he will do those deeds which will be made easy for him to do." (i.e. everybody will find easy to do such deeds as will lead him to his destined place for which he has been created).

Muhammad is said to have taught that people do the things that Allah has created them to do, whether good or evil:
I. The pen has dried with Allah's knowledge
"...whom Allah has misguided knowingly." (45:23)
Abu Hurayra said, "The Prophet said to me, "The pen has become dry (after writing) what you will meet."
Ibn 'Abbas said, "'They are the first to reach them' (23:61) means that happiness has been decreed for them."
6223. Mutarrif ibn 'Abdullah ibn ash-Shikhkhir related that 'Imran ibn Husayn said, "A man said, 'Messenger of Allah, can the people of the Garden be recognised from the people of the Fire?' 'Yes,' he answered. He asked, 'So why do those who act act?' He said, 'Everyone acts for that for which he was created,' or 'that which was made easy for him.'"
Muhammad even believed that Allah is the reason why people commit adultery, being something that has been foreordained for them to do and which they cannot escape from.
82 Divine Will (Al-Qadar)
(9) Chapter: "And a ban is laid on every town which We have destroyed that they shall not return." " ... None of your people will believe, except those who have believed, already ..." " ... And they will beget none but wicked disbelievers."
Narrated Ibn `Abbas:
I did not see anything so resembling minor sins as what Abu Huraira said from the Prophet, who said, "Allah has written for the son of Adam his INEVITABLE share of adultery whether he is aware of it or not: The adultery of the eye is the looking (at something which is sinful to look at), and the adultery of the tongue is to utter (what it is unlawful to utter), and the innerself wishes and longs for (adultery) and the private parts turn that into reality or refrain from submitting to the temptation."

(5)باب قُدِّرَ عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ حَظُّهُ مِنَ الزِّنَى وَغَيْرِهِ
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Apostle as saying:
Verily Allah has fixed the very portion of adultery which a man will indulge in, and which he OF NECESSITY MUST COMMIT. The adultery of the eye is the lustful look, and the adultery of the tongue is the licentious speech, the heart desires and yearns, which the parts may or may not put into effect.

1 Faith
(4a) Chapter: Belief in the Divine Decree - Section 1
Abu Huraira reported God's messenger as saying, “God has decreed for man his portion of fornication which he will inevitably commit. The fornication of the eye consists in looking, and of the tongue in speech. The soul wishes and desires, and the private parts accord with that or reject it.”
(Bukhari and Muslim.)
In a version by Muslim he said, “Man’s share of fornication which he will INEVITABLY commit IS DECREED HIM. The fornication of the eyes consists in looking, of the ears in hearing, of the tongue in speech, of the hand in violence, and of the foot in walking. The heart lusts and wishes, and the private parts accord with that or reject it.”

In other words, Allah is the direct cause and directly responsible for adultery and all other vices, such as rape, pedophilia, prostitution, etc.!
Allah’s decree also relates to infants and children that die, since there are among them those whom Allah has created for hell:
II. Allah knows best what they would have done
6224. Sa'id ibn Jubayr related that Ibn 'Abbas said, "The Prophet was asked about the children of the idolators and he said, 'Allah knows best what they would have done.'"
6225. 'Ata' ibn Yazid reported that he heard Abu Hurayra say, "The Messenger of Allah was asked about the offspring of idolators and he said, 'Allah knows best what they would have done.'"
6226. Hammam related from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah said, "There is no child who is not born on the natural form and then his parents make him Jewish or Christian, just as an animal gives birth to a whole animal. Do you expect it to be mutilated until you mutilate it?' They asked, "Messenger of Allah, what do you think about those who die young?" He answered, "Allah has the best knowledge about what they would have done."
III. "Allah's command is a pre-ordained decree." (33:38)
6227. Al-A'raj related from Abu Hurayra that the Messenger of Allah said, "A woman should not ask for her sister to be divorced so that she can enjoy her portion, but she should marry. She will have what is decreed for you."
6228. Abu 'Uthman related that Usama said, "I was with the Prophet with Sa'd, Ubayy ibn Ka'b and Mu'adh when a messenger came from one of his daughters came saying that her son was dying. He sent to her, 'Allah takes is His and what He gives is His. Everything has a fixed term with Him, so she should show fortitude and expect a reward.'"
6229. 'Abdullah ibn Muhayriz al-Jumahi reported that Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that while he was sitting with the Prophet a man of the Ansar came and said, 'Messenger of Allah, we have intercourse with captives but we want a good price for them, so what do you think about coitus interruptus?' He said, 'Do you do that? You should not do that. There is no soul that Allah has written will exist, without it then coming into existence.'"
6230. Abu Wa'il related that Hudhayfa said, "The Prophet addressed us in a khutba in which he did not omit to mention anything until the time of the Final Hour. Whoever knows is knows it, and whoever is ignorant of it is ignorant of it. Then I would see something that I had forgotten, and I would recognise it as a man recognises another man when he has been absent from him and then he sees him and recognises him."
6231. 'Abdu'r-Rahman as-Sulami related that 'Ali said, "We were sitting with the Prophet who had a stick with which he began to make marking on the ground. He said, 'There is none of you but that his place in the Garden or his place in the Fire is written for him.' A man of the people said, 'Messenger of Allah, shall we not rely on this?' He said, 'No. Act. Each is eased.' Then he recited, 'As for him who gives out and has taqwa ...' (92:5)" (Aisha Bewley, The Sahih Collection of al-Bukhari, Chapter 85. Book of the Decree (Qadar); emphasis mine)
42 Model Behavior of the Prophet (Kitab Al-Sunnah) (1694) Chapter: The Offspring Of Polytheists
‘A’ishah, mother of the believers, said: The Prophet was invited to the funeral of a boy who belonged to the ANSAR and I said; Messenger of Allah! This one is blessed, for he has done no evil, nor has he known it. He replied: It may be otherwise, ‘A’ishah, for Allah created Paradise and created those who will go to it, and He created it for them when they were still in their father’s loins; and he created hell and created those who will go to it, and created it for them when they were still in their father’s loins.
Grade: Sahih (Al-Albani)

If what Sunni Islam says is true then this means it is Allah who has created people to become either Christians, Jews, Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, Atheists, Agnostics, satanists, witches, sorcerers, rapists, pedophiles, murderers, homosexuals, prostitutes, etc.
This view essentially means that since Allah is the direct cause of everything a person believes and does, he is therefore Allah directly responsible for making Satan evil and do all the evil that he carries out.
In other words, Satan is nothing more than a pawn and victim in Allah’s hands and schemes!
In light of this, it is hard to escape the fact that Muhammad’s deity is the evilest being in all existence, much more wicked and immoral than even than the Devil himself
