I have often wondered why all prophets came from only Israel and other Arabian countries from Adam to the last prophet. Why was there non from Africa or Europe? Was it that African and Europeans were not existing at that time? Even if it is claimed that Africa was uncharted then, what about Europe?

Can someone explain to me please

Which prophets do you refer to when you speak of Arabian countries?

2. Probably because God declared that His only inheritance in the land of men is the people of Israel. God chose Israel as His one and only people on earth - Deuteronomy 32

The europeans are a little bit atheistic in nature...

It means Africans, Americans, other Arabs, Indians, Asians, etc. hold no real place of relevance to the God of Israel.

That all Prophets came from Israel and Arab is untrue as far as I know.

Just that what is documented are those of Israel and Arab!

Noah wasn't an Arab nor Jew. Likewise Abraham.

Allah says what means: "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'an 16:36.

So every nation got at least one!
We know the ones mentioned and others not mentioned we don't know!

God had a plan 0f salvation for man after Adam's fall. Adam was not a prophet. Mohammed doesn't seem to understand what prophethood is. God's plan was to use one nation on earth to present Himself to the world. Abraham distinguished himself in his days, so God decided to use his offsprings as the template. Israel was a physical template God used to demonstrate His love, power, grace, hatred for sin, justness in judgement and man's need for salvation. The ultimate goal was the reconciliation of the whole world. Israel was a physical template for God's spiritual project of salvation. Hear what Moses told Israel on their way to Canaan when He told them why God was placing them in the land of those being displaced.

4 Speak not in your heart, after that the Lord your God has cast them out from before you, saying, For my righteousness the Lord has brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the Lord does drive them out from before you.

5 Not for your. righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, do you go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the Lord your God drives them out from before you, and that He may perform the word which the Lord swore unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

6 Understand therefore, that the Lord your God gives you not this good land to possess it for your righteousness; for you are a stiffnecked people.

Israel was like a lab specimen God used to demonstrate and test His project before incorporating the whole world. After God was done with Israel, His attention shifted to the world. Instead of the Levitical priesthood, Jesus is our Eternal Priest. Instead of the physical lambs, Jesus became our Sacrificial Lamb. Instead of a physical temple, our bodies became the temples of God. The physical Israel was a shadow of the spiritual Israel. Instead of a physical Canaan land, heaven is our Canaan. Today, anyone who is of faith is an Israelite by faith in Christ Jesus. By connecting ourselves to Christ, we become children of Abraham. We're God's favourite as Israel was. Everything Israel represented back then physically, we now represent the same spiritually. We are God's heritage as the physical Israel was.

Now, look at the following scripture as I round up.

Romans 2:28-29
A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical. 29 No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.

Galatians 3:29
And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you.

Philippians 3:3
For we who worship by the Spirit of God are the ones who are truly circumcised. We rely on what Christ Jesus has done for us. We put no confidence in human effort,

2Corinthians 5:19
For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And He gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.

God's plan was to use one nation on earth to present Himself to the world.

Why didn't your god just create one "nation" and not the world?

And here I was thinking "nation" is a human construct.

So which one is African among them?

you are reading a book they wrote themselves..

Maybe if you took your heritage serious and acord it same respect, you will discover a lot of prophet amongst your ancestors..

There are no Arab Prophets. All prophets of the true are from Israel. If you read your Bible very well, you will see the reason. Just read The first five chapters of Romans. God only wants to use the Israel to show the world HIS plan for humanity if they had obeyed Him. Israel also misbehaved.

It is not because Israel was that special but because they are filial descendants of Abraham. If you join also, you become a child of Abraham by adoption through His Holy Spirit.

Read my comment again.
We only know what is mentioned and we don't know what isn't!

And what's given is enough for us!

Basically its because religion is simply a precursor to science and a cultural understanding of the supernatural or God. Most religions are embedded and grow from the cultural understanding and practices of the area where they originated hence they'll be th centre peice of that story. It's just that some dominated and spread rapidly primarily through conquest. There are over 8000 religions and all these have sects in them, Christianity alone has about 10000 plus sects. You have arabs as muslims, asians with buddhism, taoism..., Israelis have judaism, europeans with christianity, africans and their various religions, Indians with hinduism, shiekism etc. If you check all these out, the indigenious people are centre peice to the narrative of that particular religion hence the phrase God of Isreal.

All mankind supposed to be speaking just one language as a global family but due to what happened at Babel God scattered them by confusing their language. Genesis 11:1-9

So to connect obedient ones before God finally end all badness He picked a man named Abraham and promised that it's through this man's descendants that mankind will be saved! Genesis 12:1-3

All the prophets after God spoke to Abraham are from that lineage that's why He (God) always refer to Himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Israel)

So no prophet was sent from any other race apart from Israel!

Yeah, it's not. But your translators will use it when it suits them! Why can't they right Isa or another name for God in the Arabic and Hausa bible?

Una deceit dey stink!

Our Lord is not racist but the God of all that exists!

He is not a partial God that sends messengers only to one particular race!

The same word "God" is used in the English language to refer to all 40,000 deities out there. That does not in any way imply they are all the same, now does it?

Allah is Allah, it shouldn't have been used at all if it's not your God's name!

Pay attention! The same word "God" is used in the English language to refer to each of the 40,000 deities out there. That the same word is used does not change the fact that they are each different and unique in attributes and description. The use of that one word does not in any way imply they are all the same one deity, now does it?

Stop this exhibition of ignorance! What does "Allah" mean in Hausa and Arabic diction?

Even their Bishop Oyedepo once said Christians shouldn't give anything to beggars who came to them in Allah's name!

Hypocrites!

You can represent Allah in your Bible and still say that Allah is still not the same as the Yahweh in another Bible! Why use it?

1. According to Arabs, Allah is the word for God in the language. And since we know there are 1000s of deities out there, we are forced to realize that the word is no longer for unique reference. So what are you pushing at? .

2. I said Allah of the Muslims is not the God of the Isralites, same way Sango is not the same as YHWH. What part of that are you having a hard time with?

According to you, Yahweh is the name of your God which we can't claim! Why claim our God, when Allah has no son or partner on Arabic while Yahweh has son and partners in your Bible?
Even Yahweh in the Arabic Bible is called Rabb another big name of Allah in the Qur'an. And you'll deny this hypocrisy!

1. YHWH is not the name of my God. Rather, YHWH is the name of the God of Israel.

2. No one here is claiming the Allah(God) of the Muslims. So try to keep up.

3. The Arabic language is not your quran, and your quran is not the Arabic language and people. So your quran decides nothing as far as the use of the word in Arabic language.

4. You seem to also be having a hard time with the meaning and application of the word hypocrisy there as well.

Again, the quran is separate from the Arabic language itself. According to Arabs, the word Allah is is Arabic word for the English word God. And so it is sensible to translate the word as such.

5. Well, duh! You can't use YHWH same way that I can't use Sango, Amadioha,Obatala, or even Zeus, because these are specific names for specific deities. Look, if you have a problem with this, go deal with the Arabs. They chose to generalize the word Allah.
