Quran and Prophets

[Kahn_N]

Salam,

A Hindu named Rahul Raj criticized Qur’an for mentioning only 25 prophets and most of them were sent to Children of Israel.

A ridiculous objection about Qur’an is,

“Some Nabees’ names not mentioned” (Al-Moomin 40:78)

It is not “Some”. Allah only mentioned the names of 0.02% of His Nabees out of 124,000 Prophets and forgot to mention the names of 99.98% of them.

Please give your answers for rebuttal.

AsalamuAlaikum

I dont understand what is the criticism made by the Hindu.

It says in the Quran:

And We have already sent messengers before you. Among them are those [whose stories] We have related to you, and among them are those [whose stories] We have not related to you. And it was not for any messenger to bring a sign [or verse] except by permission of Allah . So when the command of Allah comes, it will be concluded in truth, and the falsifiers will thereupon lose [all]. [Quran 40:78]

This simply tells us god has sent many prophets, some stories he tells us and some he doesnt. As we know thousands were sent all over the world.

I dont really understand his criticism?

Oh is the criticism because Allah didn't list them?

Well what would be the benefit of Allah listing thousands of names? It would make the Quran massive having to relate us every single prophets story.

So Allah kept it to storys in which we can derive lessons from. E.g Adam, Musa, Isa, Lut etc

Assalamualykum.

 I don't like Hindus. I hate them more than I hate the Christens. Their religion is totally baseless. They're in a darkness. Ramayan, Mahabharat etc all these are nothing but stupid and absurd fairy tales without any Historical background or any other proof. If you ask them some basic Questions about their so called religion, their big mouth will shut down permanently. Because they won't be able to answer them as they have no proof of the authenticity of their scriptures.

I really do not understand how this invalidates the fact that Allah sent many messengers. The verses that say so are clear.

I think the Hindu may just be asking why did Allah mention only those that were sent to the people of Israel?

-Answer:

1.) The people of Israel were preferred to carry the message:
   2:47   O Children of Israel! call to mind the (special) favor which I bestowed upon You and that I preferred you to all others (for My message).

      2:122     O Children of Israel! call to mind the special favor which I bestowed upon you and that I preferred you to all others (for my message).     

So although Allah preferred them to send the message. So that means Allah sent the most messengers to them, and the people of Israel were the most successful in upholding Allah's message. So the Quran would obviously reference that-especially. As for the other messengers, Allah would simply acknowledge them.

2.) Relevance: Some stories are irrelevant to mention. The people of Israel's stories are very relevant. The other messengers are not necessary to go in depth about them, so Allah will simply acknowledge them.

Actually, he is playing with words; he emphasized on Some in the verse 78.
