Re: Female Prophets
Psyah sb,
how about these verses
**12:110) And We sent not before thee as Messengers any but men, whom We inspired, from among the people of the towns. Have they not then travelled in the earth and seen what was the end of those before them? And surely, the abode of the Hereafter is better for those who fear God. Will you not then understand?
16:44) And We sent not as Messengers before thee but men to whom We sent revelation, so ask those who possess the Reminder, if you know not.
21:8) And We sent none as Messengers before thee but men to whom We sent revelations. So ask the people of the Reminder, if you know not.
word rijal (men) is used not bashar (humans)
Peace brother kchughtai
Indeed these verses might be useful for supporting the notion that law bearing prophets (Messengers) were always men. They do not necessarily negate females from amongst the Anbiya. And Allah (SWT) knows Best.
