U still don't get it I keep repeating ilm, ilm, ilm, not age, but rather ilm, who was more learned when they were only a few hours old, and yet you keep bringing back age. Is it because you can't think of a plausible response???
Let me make it more complicated now
sora-e-rehman
1: The Beneficent Allah,
2: Taught the Quran.
3: He created man,
4: Taught him the mode of expression.
Now first allah is beneficent, then he taught quran, ten created man, this is the sequence right, so who did he taught quran to, if he hadn't created man at the time. I know your response, it as nothing to do with sequence.
But just tell me this much, is allah hakeem or not, is there hikmat in everything he says or not??
Now could it be that Allah, taught quran to someone even before, Creating man, could it be that it was Rasool Allah, no, that can't be it, cos that will prove that Rasool Allah is noori makhlooq, and that Rasool Allah had knowledge of quran even before he turned 40.
Either except this or else, while I keep comparing ilm of rasool allah and other prophets at very young age, you guys can keep pretending that the question is not about ILM but prophets age.
If duration of knowing the Ilm was in any way connected to rank then who could be more knowledgable and hence higher in rank than Jibraeel :as:, who since the beginning of mankind has been bringing and teaching the Prophets (pbut)…
You are twisting yourself in all different directions…Quit before you hurt yourself…

If you read my post, I never mentioned ilm, age or anything. I just said that despite everything you've mentioned, I still believe Rasulullah (s.a.w.) is superior to every other prophet. Even after reading your latest post, I haven't changed my mind.
I never mentioned the duration, not how long one had ilm for, but since when ?? Its funny how you keep avoiding the real quesion.
Its funny how you ask me to quit since the only credible response to my question is the one I mentioned myself, which is the last thing you would want to accept, as it goes completely against your belief.
I hope you don't change your mind ever, only try to understand that, certain other beleif that alot of muslims hold dear to their hearts are in direct contradiction.
"But she pointed to him. They said: How should we speak to one who was a child in the cradle? "
"He said: "I am indeed a servant of Allah: He hath given me revelation and made me a prophet; "
This is the verse revealed about Prophets Essa when the people asked how she gave birth to a child when she was not married, and this is how Propeht Essa responded from the cradle when he was only a few hours old.
And in soura-e-al-qasas verse 12
"And We had before forbidden foster-mothers for him, so she said: Shall I show you a household who will rear him for you and take care of him? "
This is about how Propeht Mosa at 3 days old, had refused to be breast fed by anyone else other than his own biological mother, as God had forbidden foster morthers for him.
Now my question is how is it that Essa can testify for his mothers character when he is only a few hours old and declare himself prophet, and announce that he had been given the revelation (book) and Mosa when only few days old knew what was forbidden to him by God, but the last prophet was not aware of his propehthood until th eage of 40 and was illiterate, where as the other lesser propehts (for lack of a better word) knew while they were not even old enough to talk.
Can someone please shed some light on this.
It is only by the Will of Allah (SWT) that Isa (AS) spoke in his cradle. Allah (SWT) provided him with the ability to testify his mother's chasteness. I don't think it signifies that he (AS) started receiving revelation at that tender age.
It is only by the Will of Allah (SWT) that Musa (AS) refused to be breastfed by anyone other than his biological mother. Allah (SWT) provided him with this ability. I don't think he (AS) started receiving revelation at that age.
Although Prophet Muhammad (SAW) received revelation and his prophethood commenced in his later years; he was nonetheless an excellent man throughout his life. His (SAW) life was filled with miracles as well.
He (SAW) was given to Sadiyah Halima to be taken care of and even under terrible conditions of the peninsula her herd was still the best in terms of producing milk. His (SAW) was heart was opened and cleaned by Jibril (AS) in his infancy. There are numerous other events, which I can't recall at the moment.
Yes, he (SAW) has the highest degree amongst prophets and messengers. He (SAW) is the one who led everyone else in prayers in heaven.
Just because Muhammad (SAW) was made aware of his prophethood much later in life does not by any measure means that it was a hinderance or a drawback.
Allah (SWT) has a time set for everything and He (SWT) is the best of the planners. There is wisdom behind everything that Allah (SWT) does. Keep in mind we don't have the understanding, ability, and intellect to always be able to see the wisdom behind Allah's (SWT) plans and the way He (SWT) legislates things to be.
I apologize if I went off-topic. May Allah (SWT) forgive me if I've uttered anything wrong. And Allah (SWT) knows best.
