Female Prophets

Peace kprasad

What is the odd assertion that I made? This question you asked me about “why does the truth have to be localised to a specific people and time?” Why did you ask me that question? I did not infer anywhere that “truth has to be localised” … I don’t even know what that means … What does that mean “truth being localised” …???

Why do I get the feeling that you respond to me in a very strange way … That conjures up made up assertion that I have not made and insinuates odd things that I have not even said … I’m not going to stand here and defend myself against what you are saying, except by saying what you have understood is wrong and what you are refuting is not what I have said …

Iron Age … sounds old … But it is an advanced time … Islam’s advent basically ended the Iron Age too … It was the Age of Enlightenment … I guess what you mean by localised is why a new messenger has not been sent … It is because there is no need for another … One momentous event took place with Sayyiduna Muhammad (SAW) that did not occur with other prophets (AS) was that he (SAW) had completed the religion and Allah’s favour upon mankind and the message he brought is preserved unlike with previous faiths and prophets …

@psyah

I am saying that God sent messengers to people in accordance with how they best receive them.

My point is: Truth is immutable. The truth is the truth. Why does the truth need to be considered for the manner it’s received? Why can’t the truth be delivered by women?

Everything else, though I have rebuttals, deviates from the original assertion. Why are there no female prophets?

One thing I would add: The Quran, as is the Bible, and Gita, Ramayan, etc., are full of incidents of the deity changing her/his mind. What makes you think this didn’t happen again? There are lots of people who consider themselves Muslim, but believe other prophets have come…but alas none of them are women either!
