Re: Propehthood
Ultimately Allah knows best. One could theorize that one of the reasons why the Prophet Mohammad Sallallah Alaih Wasalam attained his Prophethood so late in life was so that his character could be established with the people around him. Even those who opposed his message knew him to be a wise, honest and fair man.
Allahoalam.
The question is not about why the pattern was different, rather why one who had the knowledge of book (propeht Essa) at a few hours, one who was aware of the what was forbidden by allah (prophet Mosa) are not superior to the Last propeht who was illiterate, and the book was nto revealed to him till the age of 40.
Who would u consider superior Rasooal Allah at age 15 who was illiterate, was not even a prophet and needed a jew to tell him what had happend after the first revelation (wahi) or would you consider superior a propeht who had the book revelaed tohim even before he was born, (that must have been the case with essa, unless it was revealed to a baby who was only a few minutes old) who was aware of hallal and haram of his shariat while he was still a new born.
I don't want anyone to accuse me of disrespecting Rasool allah I do strongly beleive that he was supperior to everybody, but have serious doubts about the claim that he was illiterate, or he was not aware of his prophethood till the age of 40.
