Medicine Buddha
Posted in Antiques on 09/08/2009 08:28 pm by adminA question about prophets in Islam?
I'm currently reading a fascinating book by Karen Armstrong: "A History of God" (highly recommended, by the way).
In it, she states that Muhammed recognised Abraham, Moses and Jesus as prophets who preceded his revelation - and that, had he known of the Buddha and the prophets of other faiths (including tribal medicine men in places such as America and Australia) he would have recognised them likewise as prophets communicating revelations.
Is she overstating her case, or is this the position of Islam?
Many thanks
In the Quran, God has mentioned 26 of His Prophets/Messengers because He wanted to. According to the sayings of Prophet Muhammad(SAW) which is the knowledge from God he had received there were 126000 Prophets/Messengers between Prophet Adam(ASM) and Prophet Muhammad(SAW). The 26 are mentioned by name in the Quran the other 125974 are not mentioned by names in the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad(SAW). I think she is overstating her case. Because if she's mentioning people coming after Prophet Muhammad(SAW) then they could not possibly have been God's Prophets. And God knows best.
There's also a book called 'Stories of the Prophets' (don't remember the author's name) but you can find it in any islamic book store should you want to give it a go.
