S 2:213 People were one nation then Allah raised the prophets as bearers of good news and as warners and sent down with them the book with the truth to judge between people in what they had differed concerning. And none differed in it except those who had been given it after the proofs had come to them out of wrong between them. And Allah guided those who had believed in what they had differed in of the truth with his permission. And Allah guides whom he wills to a straight path.
Did Allah guide with some deity's permission?
S 2:221 And do not futter the mushrikat until they believe. And a believing maid is better than a mushrikah even if she has pleased you. And do not give to the mushrikun in nikah until they believe, and a believing slave is better than a mushrik even if he has pleased you. Those call to the fire and Allah calls to the Jannah and forgiveness with his permission. And he clarifies his verses for people; perhaps they will remember.
Allah calls to the Jannah and forgiveness with his permission? Whose?
S 5:16 Allah guides therewith those who have followed his pleasure to the ways of peace and brings them out of the darknesses into the light with his permission and guides them to a straight path.
Does Allah guide and bring out of the darknesses (sic) with some deity's permission?
S 22:65 Have you not seen that Allah has subjected to you what is on the Earth? And the ships running in the sea by his command? And he holds the sky lest it falls on the Earth except with his permission. Allah is kind, merciful to people.
Does Allah hold the sky up and can only drop it with some deity's permission?
S 42:51 And it was not for a human being that Allah should speak to him except by inspiration or from behind a hijab or sending a messenger and inspiring with his permission what he wills. He is high, wise.
Does Allah inspire with a deity's permission? Or does the messenger inspire?
