@Mr.Popat

You like making things complicated for yourself, dont you ?

Around 124000 prophets came to mankind. ‘Many’ prophets before Isa passed away, ‘Many’ prophets before Muhammad passed away too.

I dont think my question needed that complicated answer.

If ‘Many’ prophets passed away from the amount of 124000.. what conclusion should i draw from this ?

1. Out of 124000 prophets, there have been many who passed away, but some who did not ?
2. If option 1 is incorrect then the other option would be that they all passed away ?

Is there anything else that you think of ?

Don’t worry about embarrassing me. That is fine by me. As long as I get my answers, thats ok.

ps: even after clear teachings of Quran, not just these 2 verses, but some more, as well as ahadith, I still say that it is not up to the individual who believe a human who is bound to die is dead to prove it to anyone. Its by default. The burden of the proof lies on the shoulder of the one who says despite him being a human, he has not died, and he does not need food to be sustained.

It says “Prophets have passed on before you” … The only thing that “s” implies is that it is more than or equal to “3” …So it could be any number between 3 and 123,998 in the case of the verse talking about Isa (SAW) or any number between 3 and 123,999 for the verse talking about Muhammad (SAW).

If the method of “passing on” is without exception “death” then this phrase still cannot be translated as and limited to “all prophets” … in which case it allows the interpretation of some have not died.

The miracle in this is that with Isa (AS) at least two prophets had not passed on … and with Muhammad (SAW) at least one had not passed on … which means the singular and dual form would be excluded from this meaning which it does logically since the plural term is used denoting 3 or more.
