Why is that most(nearly all) of the prophets,who are cited in the Koran,are f Middle-Eastern origin?


What makes the Middle-Eastern peoples so special in the eyes of God?Did God send any messanger to the primitive tribes in Africa and Australia or to the Indians and Eskios in America?

All cultures and societies have developed their own religions or cosmologies that usually incorporate "chosen" or "gifted" people that can receive spiritual messages. Middle Eastern religions such as Islam, Christianity and Judaism share the idea of a single, omnipotent God who chooses "prophets" to communicate God's message. These religions are most powerful and popular for a huge number of reasons, which can sometimes make people forget that even the most isolated, primitive tribal societies had spiritual communicators and believed that they were blessed or chosen in their own way.

Well, that is because they are and where from there during the Koran era.

I believe that there are prophets, and great men of spiritual heights....form every nation on earth, but they are not those that are on the public scope of events today. That is all.

Also there is a warning, beware of false prophets. for those that call themselves or their leaders prophets could be liars and wolves in sheep's clothing.

This is interesting question.
I think because they declared themselves as the messenger.
And probably they're to proud to admit the prophets from other races.
Take a look at Sulaiman (Salomon), his father, Dawood (David), is a prophet and a king. Sulaiman was super rich, had many beautiful wives, had supernatural power, etc. And he's a prophet too. What a wonderful life he's got.

well interesting question.. I am a muslim.. and we are taught that Yes, God did send prophets to all corners of the earth, He left no society untouched from his message. Just that throughout time, some of the messages got distorted, other innovations were added (pagan ideas), and without proper language and writing skills, the message wasnt preserved. In our Quran we have named many prophets, but God says there are hundreds, thousands unnamed that were throughout the world.. Some times when you see other religions doing things that seem very similar to your own faith, maybe it was an idea that was retained through time. Interesting, isnt it?

I don't know, but maybe it has to do with the fact that the Middle Eastern Peninsula is located at the heart of the word/in the middle and in between continents.

But the Prophets did travel to all lands to spread the word. Arab's where chosen by god (Allah) and I don't mean "the chosen ppl"....

Because the Israelites made him up. It takes a while for "the word" to spread.

God loves all of his people. But after many tries, he found he could not get what he wanted while acting on all on the human race at once. Abraham was lead by god in promise of an heir to his blessings, so that a servant would not be the one to inherit his fortunes and his name would not die off. Abraham's faith faltered, and he decided to rely on his maidservant to bear him a child, rather than god's miracle. Ishmael was taken into the wilderness east of there. Over many generations past Issac, Abraham's heirs. God's chosen people, the Hebrews, were lead into the holy land from Egypt. The land was currently inhabited by the Canaanites, descendants of Ishmael, and they were delivered from the area, but attempted to reclaim it many times. Over generations, jews strayed from gods path, and ended up in slavery again. Their lands were filled with the "aliens" or "Ishmaelies", aka, the Arabs. God then sent his son, the word, into human flesh to show not only god's people their wrong way, but to forgive all, Jew, Arab, or Gentile regardless. The Koran is taken from the prophet Mohammed's vision, god revealing to the arabian people the truth. But, if you boil it all down to why, it is because god had chosen Abraham, to become a great nation of his chosen people.

Hope this all helps.
Believe what you want.
