Purpose of Sending Prophets

Being a muslim, what I understand according to the Islamic history, is that Arabia is where the “world began”. It’s historic significance goes back to the time of the first ever humans placed on earth. There are contradictions in the historic accounts as to where exactly Hazrat Adam a.s. and Bibi Hawa landed after descending from heaven but there is no question that they reunited in Arabia. Why couldn’t they have reunited somewhere in Asia or Africa or America in which case that is where the muslim/human civilization would have begun. So why did Arabia have to be centre of Islam? Either the arabs are pretty good at making up stories and making the rest of the world not only believe in them but corroborate them, or they’re not just stories they’re actual facts backed up by authentic historical accounts not just holy books.

Like I said in my earlier post, it’s all a part of Allah’s scheme of things. What’s so special about Makkah that the world not only began there but it will also end there… if I’m not mistaken, Arafat is where the day of judgement will begin. Why? Allah ki marzi. Sanu ki?

But Judaism and Christianity didn’t originate in Arabia, but other parts of the Middle East. They were influenced by stories from the Sumerians (and Egyptians) whose civilization dates back to 5-6000 BC. Gilgamesh and the flood myth are far older than Abrahamic religions. And archeology shows us that humans all originated out of Africa.

Thus, my point is that the reason that all prophets are from the Middle East is stories can only travel so far. This is why a Native American would have never heard of any Biblical stories had it not been for the discovery of America. We have to consider the possibility that religions may be man made. This does not disprove the existence of a God, it just questions the authenticity and purpose of scriptures, prophets, and rituals.

It’s not up to me to define someone’s beliefs, but I do have questions because, if one considers religion to be the word of God, then there are many logical inconsistencies.
