surrender wrote:Quadratic i have nothing against balck people but from what i know and have learned- there is no such a thing as black prophet, if they were allah wouldve mentioned them in the quran. nevertheless prophet's race wasnt and itsnt and shouldnt be important to us-its the fact that they are our prophets and we should respect them for who they are-no what they are. alaahu aclam
Surrender, lavish me with your attention this morning so we can come to an agreement. We are halfway there already. The part you need to pay attention to is the part of the Quran where Allah says "
To every nation we sent a messenger/prophet". If you recognize only one or two racial groups as "nations", then your argument will make sense. But if you agree that all races can be referred to as nations, it leads to the common understanding every muslim in here and elsewhere has about God sending a messenger to every nation be they black, brown, white or otherwise in the past. Prophet mohamed's message is universal so there is no need for a messenger to arrive afterwards. All nations be they white, black, brown, Arab or otherwise are required to follow him and accept his message. Why is that? Because the chain of prophets and messengers who used to appear out of other communities stopped with him. He is the last one of them. Before prophet Mohamed, Allahs tells us that each nation had a messenger/prophet sent to them. Allah informs prophet mohamed himself that some messengers were mentioned to him and others were not. Pay attention to that carefully. Mankind was always diverse linguistically and racially, Allah points that out in another verse when he says :
"Surah Ar-Rum Ayah [22] And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the difference of your languages and colours. Verily, in that are indeed signs for men of sound knowledge. "
Now that is the beauty of islam, it pays tribute to all races with no bias. In some instances, there were some prophets spreading the message in different regions at the same period of time. A case in point is prophet Lut and Abraham. Non of them was an Arab or an Israeli. Why were they both spreading the same message at the same time in different regions? Think about it.
If you travel to the far corners of the earth and you find a group of human beings, they have an idea about God, whether it be in agreement with islam or not is questionable, but certainly, however twisted of a view a group of isolated human beings espouse, God is there in mankind's heart and that is because at some point, these people's forefathers met and learned from someone sent by God. That is why Allah says to every nation we sent a messenger. Who are we to cast a doubt on the generality of the verse?
I conclude with a verse that will shed some more light on this issue and clear all confusion, please pay attention to it:
"We sent not an apostle except (to teach) in the language of his (own) people, in order to make (things) clear to them. Now God leaves straying those whom He pleases and guides whom He pleases: and He is Exalted in power, full of Wisdom. (The Noble Quran, 14:4)"
Check that out, before prophet mohamed, every messenger and prophet spoke the langauge of his people, Allah says that was the
CASE, that requirement ended with prophet mohamed because his message is for all mankind, non of the races require a prophet who speaks their own langauge anymore because Allah says so. Allah changed the method of sending local prophets to the local people who spoke the local language with a universal message taught by a Universal messenger, everyone, every nation, every race must tow the line now. Tell me
Surrender, since Africans have far too many languages to count, can we deny them a prophet when Allah says every messenger who was sent spoke the language of his people? Obviously not 8)
-if black prophets existed and were mentioned-we would've have heard about them by now-and if the were prophets that were black/brown-there are reasons why allah didnt mention them-like some other things-alaahu aclum
Allah guarantees a house in the outskirts of paradise for someone who leaves an argument even if he is in the right [saheeh hadiith]. So please bros/sizz, use your time more carefully insha'Allah so that you can stand before your Lord on the day of judgement and know that you spent your life serving him. Masha'Allah.
