I think God also gave us a conscience, with an intellect, and critical
faculties. We live in world where there are lots of religions and lots
of "books" out there. I don't think all of life is just a matter of
identifying the right religion and then following it blindly. We are
exposed to lots of different claims coming from lots of different
directions and as human beings its our job to do the best we can with
what we have. Continually, questioning and re-evaluating what we are
told to find the best decisions. And we have that responsibility
whether we have a perfect book, or a flawed book, or wise parents, or
foolish parents, or good teachers or bad teachers.

You've only discussed free will.  What about God Himself, how did He guide us?  Before the revelation of the Qur'an, how did He guide the people?  With a semi-true Book, or with a Book that was perfect for its time?
