Almighty Allah SWT said in Chapter Al Anbiya Verse 25: “And We sent not before you any messenger except that We revealed to him that, "There is no deity except Me, so worship Me.”
All reason revolts against the idea of conflicting gods, and points to Unity in Creation and Unity in Godhead. This is not only the Message of Islam but the message of all prophets who came before the holy Prophet Muhammad , and the line of prophets was closed with him. The message given to every apostle in all ages was that of Unity as the fundamental basis of Orders and Design in the world, materials, moral and spiritual.
Moreover, Allah SWT said: "And ask those of our Messengers whom We sent before you: “Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped besides the Most Gracious!” [43:45] - and -
And verily, We have sent among every Ummah a Messenger (proclaiming): “Worship Allah, and avoid Taghut (all false deities)” [16:36]
Every Prophet who was sent by Allah called people to worship Allah Alone, with no partner or associate. The natural inclination of man (Al-Fitrah) also bears witness to that. The idolators have no proof and their dispute is of no use before their Lord; on them is wrath, and for them will be a severe torment.
Dear lethal kamikaze, the problem arises when people do not try to understand the meaning of word ILAAH=GOD=sovereign=ruler. Allah alone is ruler of this universe and he does not allow anyone to rule in his kingdom that is shirk. This is why anyone who lives by constitution of any other than given by Allah is in trouble.
Mullahs did the magic and redefined term ilaah in to someone whom people worship ritualistically. You cannot worship Allah, it is impossible because whatever you worship has to be in your mind and whatever you have in your mind is not God because Allah cannot come into our imagination.
Allah as we know him is someone called Allah who has given mankind messages by means of some men telling them pass on the message and the message is all about how people should live so that they attain freedom from social ills that result due to actions of people who do things without knowing things properly.
It is up to people to take this message seriously and benefit or just do their own things and suffer the consequences.
Ritualism has taken over ummah in such a way that real sense of the message has been lost. The results is ummah has become totally confused and even mullahs are getting in to more and trouble day by day because they now realise that this is not doing them any good. So they are looking for a way out but because they burnt their boats long time ago they cannot get themselves out the box nor can guide ummah anywhere. It is going to be fight between mullahs and their followers because as human problems increase with time and mullahs have no solutions then mullahs are going to lose respect they had with masses and when leaders lose respect in their followers eyes you know what they do to them.
Even when a father becomes useless and children see him as problems they too throw him out, so mullahs days are numbered. If we look at news many people are caught in the act and given the treatment they deserve yet we are told no this one is not real molvi or real peer. So if you are not caught in the act then you are real molvi and real peer but if you are then you are not. This is the way to keep people confused.
Only those people are ulema of quran who know what the quran says and they can prove it, all others are fakes just in it for some other reason of their own that has nothing to do with the quran and islam.
I was thinking this morning after the fajr prayer why last four prophets in known history descended in vicinity of Arabia , why not in Japan , China , India ? They were bigger nations than Arabs and they were in need of guidance too .
I also thought was it because one prophet after the other copied the concepts from one to the other ?
Please guide me to the right answer if there is one.
Why does HE the Supreme Ruler not use a more effective communication tool to give his message to the humans in a more direct and provable way?
What's with the secrecy of revealing the truth to lone individuals in their sleep, middle of the night.. or any other secret way.
Is HE afraid of public speaking?
I hear Toastmasters does wonderful things to help the fear of public speaking.
Valid questions , One answer I can copy from Quran and from Moulana Moududi's book is that , once Allah(SWT) reveal himself and proves His existence that is the end of the argument and there is no going back after that. Why He does so , it is one of His attributes and we humans have no control over His attributes. Again religion is based on beliefs not on logic.
Though am not good in history but the reason for choosing the Arabia is b’coz its located in center if we see the map of the earth. A center point were required where all Muslims can offer their islamic rituals i.e. prayers in only one direction (kabba) and i think that is the main reason.
As stated in above verse all prophets were sent to their nations with one message to the peoples that “to worship Allah Alone, with no partner or associate”. The concept of copying from one prophet or messenger to another (chain-to-chain) is to remind their nations how and why they were destroyed, however message of all prophets and messengers were same and that is “There is no god other than Allah”, and they are only the prophet or messenger who pass the message so they don’t associate them.

Do you realize that there is no such thing as the center of the earth based on looking at a map? That's a manmade concept. Maps are manmade. You can turn the globe around in 10 different ways and have 10 different center of the earths.

So, he WANTS there to be confusions and arguments on his existence?
Agreed with the second bolded statement. There isn't much logic in religion.

Peace to you too.
As Sharabi said center of earth can be any point on the globe. That does not seem to be a valid reason. As for each nation having their own prophet , that might be so but seems like the message of the prophets for Japan , China , Indian got corrupted hence they also needed a new prophet , why then Arabia was chosen as the last land of prophets ?
So, he WANTS there to be confusions and arguments on his existence?
Agreed with the second bolded statement. There isn't much logic in religion.
There is not much logic in non religion either , if there was a last and final argument against the existence of God and there were a long line to see it I would be the first one in that line.
If we see ‘Arab Country’ on locus than we’ll came to know that it is in the middle of Asia, Europe and African continents where we easily can understand if one center required for guidance/instructions for all than there is no other place is better than middle one i.e. the Arab Country.

Arabia isn't even on the equator.
Peace Sharaabee,
I don't know what u r trying to prove here. If u were given ur b'day cake and told to place it at the center of the table, will u gonna place it there or going to argue that there is no such thing as the center of the table b'coz its all manmade?
'Center' I'm saying in sense that where u place or see a thing from all different angles. Like if u go to any country and see the 'moon' or 'sun' from any angel u'll find it ???? where??? of'coz in 'Center'. Similarly, the 'Kaaba' can be seen always in center no matter in which country ur and that is why 'Arab Country' were choosen as a 'center point'.
if one believes in islam, then there isn't much to discuss. if one is willing to look at the point of view of others besides muslims as well on this idea of prophets, most parts of the world have their own indigenous belief systems, most don't involve prophets.
I agree to the answers lethal kamikaze has provided. just might wanna add my own two cents and understanding.
Humanity started around this area. Adam (as) first built the house of Allah here so last prophet was to come where house of Allah was eracted at the start of humanity.
All prophets from the progeny of Adam came to the Arab al baida (the perished arabs, such as nations of shees, nooh, aad, samood, abora etc.) because initially humanity consisted only on these. Well not really. Actually, all humans were living as one nation until the great flood of Nooh. The rest of the nations come into existence from the three sons of Nooh. But most of the prophets that came in Arabia including the last was from the son of Nooh, named Sam. The others remained the nation of Nooh or there is a possibility that new prophets were sent to them as continuation of Nooh but center remained Arabia and hence the last prophet from the same progeny.
because arabia was place where people on deen of Hazrat Ibrahim Alehi salam were available…and every where other societies were neck deep in idol worship…
Even Ancestor of Hazrat Mohammad:saw2:were follower of deen-e-ibrahim that is called as hunayf/islam..as much as i rembember please correct me if anything is wrong in my post
Allah says in Quran that prophethood is his blessing. It is up to him where so ever he wants to and likes to place it. Only he knows best. Last and most perfect shariya was revealed on prophet Muhammad pbuh for number of reasons.. out of which, one was that the language of arabia is/was such that one can easily memorize, hence reducing the possibility of getting the message corrupted. Another was the miracle that Allah wanted to show to the mankind through the revelation of Quran on an ummi prophet..thus providing people opportunity to look into this great miracle of Allah, since such a revelation could not be man made.
Allah is the maalik of this world and hereafter. We have no capacity of questioning what he does, why he does it.. the place where prophethood should be placed, when He should place the prophet, and who should he place are not for us to judge.there's no questioning Allah. He is the best of the judge. He has the right to question us.. for we cant question him. Prophethood is called a blessing to humankind...one should not question Allah's powers.
Prophets have been sent to every nation of the world, as per Quran. Budha to people of chinese origin or there abouts.. Karishan for the land of India.. etc.. it was sad how their message completely got corrupted..though their message was the same as any prophet sent by Allah.
, and the line of prophets was closed with him. The message given to every apostle in all ages was that of Unity as the fundamental basis of Orders and Design in the world, materials, moral and spiritual.
