To Sheikh Yasir,
When you say there is no Prophet after Ibrahim (pbuh) who was not from his progeny, are you sure?
I say this because:
- in some traditions the number of Prophets are quite high, over 100,000 is mentioned
- Allah has said that there is no tribe who has not been sent a Prophet or messenger
- there are many tribes that are far away from Bani Israel or the Arabs, for example the Aboriginal people of Canada who are isolated, or people of India, or China. Who are their Prophets? (Some people believe that Buddha and Krishna could have been Prophets, they show all the signs of being one)
- it is mentioned in Quran as far as I remember that Allah is telling us He is only recounting to us the stories of a small percentage of Prophets, specifically stories known to Arabs. The Arabs would be familiar with the Jews and Christians and their Prophets, but not of Indians or Aboriginals who could have their own Prophet.
Thanks for considering the question.
@mezba: you wrote “When you say there is no Prophet after Ibrahim (pbuh) who was not from his progeny, are you sure?”
where did syaikh yasir qadhi said this???
coz i read there ( in his speech ): ” Ibrahim and his progeny began two holy lands: Isma‘il in Makkah and Ishaaq in Filistin. Ishaaq’s son Ya‘qub is in Filistin, and Ya‘qub has children. Yusuf is in Filistin. We are going to learn now that Yusuf will leave Filistin, but for now, they are in Filistin. ” they were all prophet!!!
I was talking about this line.
No prophet came after Ibrahim except that he was from his lineage.
from the article.
Salaam!
You’re right. I believe its Surah Yunus (10): 47 where Allah(swt) states that he has granted a messenger to each nation. I think i also remember reading that there had been ~125,000 prophets sent to earth in Qasas ul Anbiyaa by Ibn Kathir (ra).
But, could it not be possible that these other peoples were given their messengers prior to the lifetime of Ibrahim (a.s.)? If I recall correctly from my fourth grade history class, the Native Americans came to north america over 10,000 years ago over the Bering Strait, if Ibrahim (a.s.) lived (according to biblical scriptures I think) around 2000 BCE…that may have left some time for those nations to receive revelation. Of course..this is purely my conjecture. Allahu ‘Alam. :)
InshAllah, someone may be able clarify this matter.
Sadly this matter wasn’t clarified. This series is highly beneficial, but MM should close comments if the intent is just to inform, and not answer to questions.
Sh. Yasir can’t possibly clarify everything Mezba. That’s to be understood… In any case, I’ll pass on the comment to him in case he missed it.
Assalam o alaykum wa rahmatullah wabarkatuhu, this series is very beneficial to me. JazakAllah khair MM and Shaykh Yasir!

@mezba:
