Why Are There No Prophets In The Quran From West Africa Or Asia Or Americas? by MacDaddy01: 3:04pm On Aug 17, 2012
The first people on earth were from Africa. That, we know very well.


Why is it that the Allah focused on the Middle East? Why are there only Jewish, Arab or Middle eastern prophets in the Quran?

Confucius was without religion. A man in a perfect position to start his own religion. Buddha's religion ignored gods. Shinto is extremely adaptive. They call their gods mythical.

Arabs. Jews. Are especially domineering group of people. What better way to acquire power and control people than religion? All your lies, inefficiencies are looked over. Your most egregious behaviour is regarded as an act of God.

Europeans came into the game rather late. So, they took one of the foreign prophets, remoulded it in their image and voila, we have a imperial weapon of subjugation and 'justifier' of some rather genocidal crimes.

Arabs are on a undeclared supremacy quest against the jews. I tell ya.

The jews are in conflict with the arabs. Tho, those jews know book oooo. Is it any wonder that the two groups have produced the most 'recognised' prophets?

to answer the question of the thread.

1.) in Islam Muhammad (sa) was sent to all mankind,so that at least to some extent should be enough to answer the question.

2.) the middle eastern region was chosen as the place to complete and seal the divine message.

3.) we are told that God initially chose the israelites (from whom jews descended and also some arabs) to carry on the divine mission in worshiping God.

4.) the Quran does mention for instance the story of Luqman.he was guided and enlightened by God.the same goes about Zhul-Qarnain.now the issue of identifying who Zhul-Qarnain and Luqman were,can best serve to answer your question.Zhul-Qarnain is someone the arabians were not familiar with but the Jews were.thus the jews knew him but the arabians did not.later on when trying to relate who Zhul-Qarnain was,the arabians were lost because they did not know him.ofcourse,thanks to knowledge we now can relate Zhul-Qarnain to Cyrus.

5.) Islam teaches us that there are 124000 prophets sent to all of mankind.these prophets were teachers who came to educate and purify the souls of their communities.so no matter how small or insignificant a nation was they had someone sent to them so proof is placed over them.ofcourse over time those messages could have been lost or corrupted with myths and fairytales,and thus you have a comprehensive seal to the divine messages with the revelation of the Quran and the prophethood of Muhammad (sa).

Holy Quran 10:47
"And for every nation is a messenger. So when their messenger comes, it will be judged between them in justice, and they will not be wronged"

Holy Quran 5:3
"This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion".

Holy Quran 3:85
"And whoever desires other than Islam as religion - never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers."

now there is not one scripture in any religion,in which God Almighty is reported to have instituted a religion for mankind,other than in the Quran and with the coming of Muhammad (sa),whom the Quran calls the "seal of prophets".that is the conclusion and perfection of God's revelations i.e. the Quran.previous prophets/messengers just taught,preached and delivered their messages and never gave a name to what they brought or made a religion with a name.

6.) the greatest impact of the divine messages through the israelites and later the arabians was centered around the middle east.that region experienced a lot of happenings.

7.) if you examine the hindu,buddhist and zoroastrian religions,you find that the message in their scriptures does point to Tawheed which is the central doctrine of the Quran and the Bible.so many Islamic scholars do not rule the possibility of these religious figures (in those religions) to have being prophets sent by God Almighty to those respective nations.

8.) people best relate with their environment.when the arabians are taught about nations and men who are close to their backyard,they relate to the story better.the Quran is not an historical text.it is more than that.the Quran/Islam came to reform the previous revelations/religions (i.e. judaism and christianity).so if you want to start giving stories about people in south america (people in the middle east then did not even know about south america),it is like telling us today stories in Jupiter or about aliens.such amounts to people perceiving the stories as fairytales.

9.) this is what the Quran says:

Holy Quran 40:78
"And We have already sent messengers before you. Among them are those [whose stories] We have related to you, and among them are those [whose stories] We have not related to you. And it was not for any messenger to bring a sign [or verse] except by permission of Allah . So when the command of Allah comes, it will be concluded in truth, and the falsifiers will thereupon lose [all]."

What a foolish answer. How was Muhammad sent to all mankind? How is your foolish claim not the same as the christians and other religion that claim that their central prophet was for all mankind?

Muhammad was an illiterate who had problems with the Jews. Eve if he was sent to all mankind were are the West African prophets? were Africans too foolish for Allah?

LagosShia:
2.) the middle eastern region was chosen as the place to complete and seal the divine message.

How convenient for middle eastern people. What does that say about the omnipresence of Allah? Choosing one piece of land to spread his message all around the world instead of appearing to everyone in different lands.

The problem still remains. There were other sophisticated civilizations for Allah to hose, why Arabs and the Jews only? Black or chinese not good?

How does this answer the questions of no prophets from West Africa or Asia or the Americas

More blabbing about Jews and Arabs. Surely, even you can not talk of other people in your religions history?

You have proven that the Quran lies. What messenger went to south america where islam and judaism are almost non-existent? At the time of islam many nations or geographical areas were not even accessed or found by the outside world

LagosShia:
6.) the greatest impact of the divine message through the israelites and later the arabians was centered around the middle east.that region experienced a lot of happenings.

more nonsense about Arabs and Jews. You are really starting to sound like a slave rather than a West African

Lies. You must be really brainwashed to even believe that hinduism or bhuddism borrowsfrom the Quran when they have a far different teaching than islam and both are older than islam. Unless islam has an atheistic or pluralistic view of God,then you are talking nonsense.

LagosShia:

People relate best with their environment. Why then do Asians not have an Asian prophet in Islam?

You force the Quran to be truth. Which messengers did they send to South America?

Wrong. Muhammed could not have been black given the time and place he was born. He would have had brown skin (light brown at most) and looked Arabic like the rest of the people

And for every Ummah (a community or a nation),
there is a Messenger; when their Messenger
comes, the matter will be judged between them
with justice, and they will not be wronged.
(Qur'ân 10:47)
And verily, We have sent among every Ummah
(community, nation) a Messenger (proclaiming):
"Worship Allah (Alone), and avoid (or keep away
from) Taghut (all false deities, etc. i.e., do not
worship Taghut besides Allah)." Then of them were
some whom Allah guided and of them were some
upon whom the straying was justified. So travel
through the land and see what was the end of
those who denied (the truth). (Qur'ân 16:36)
