Why did Allah need Mohammed?

If Allah is omnipotent, omniscient, and benevolent, then why wouldn't he talk to everyone on earth directly instead of an intermediary prophet with a finite life?

It seems pretty obvious to me that a god that powerful would want to talk to each of us directly. A religion using prophets is usually a sign of a false religion.

Update:

I would say an absolutely false religion is one where the religious leader or "prophet" openly admits to the religion being a pack of lies.

Of course, you could widen that to include any religion that offers internal contradictions too.

    hahahahahaha................

    Thats one ANSWER asked in reverse way....

    there is nothing like ALLAH.

    Mohammad created ALLAH cos the people of that region have a blind belief that some god will appoint a person as their PROPHET to guide them. Only MOHAMMAD was sly enough to exploit tat belief and create a new religion to get wat he wanted (riches in forms of loot and lots n lots of nubile busty women).

    You could say the same about Jesus. And please tell me how you would define a false religion when truth in terms of religion most certainly means different things to different people. Or do you presume to know everything?

    Thats what God said.. to Adam PBUH when he was sent to earth.. that he will send the guidance.. to mankind..

    Al-Baqara [2:118] And those who have no knowledge say: "WHY does NOT Allâh speak to us (face to face) or WHY does NOT a SIGN come to us?" So said the people before them words of similar import. Their hearts are alike, We have indeed made plain the signs for people who believe with certainty.

    Al-Anaam [6:37] And they said: "WHY is NOT a SIGN sent down to him from his Lord?" Say: "Allâh is certainly Able to send down a SIGN, but most of them know NOT."

    Ar-Rad [13:7] And the disbelievers say: "WHY is NOT a SIGN sent down to him from his Lord?" You are only a warner, and to every people there is a guide.

    Ar-Rad [13:27] And those who disbelieve say: "WHY is NOT a SIGN sent down to him (Muhammad SAW) from his Lord?" Say: "Verily, Allâh sends astray whom He wills and guides unto Himself those who turn to Him in repentance."

    Taha [20:133] They say: "WHY does he NOT bring us a SIGN (proof) from his Lord?" HAS THERE NOT COME TO THEM THE PROOF OF THAT WHICH IS (WRITTEN) IN FORMER PAPERS [Scriptures, i.e. the Taurât (Torah), and the Injeel (Gospel), etc. about the coming of the Prophet Muhammad SAW].
