Are shooting stars missiles that shoot down jinns trying to peak into the affairs of heaven? This very claim in the Quran shows it is nothing more than a man made book. Only a seventh century Arab would make such audacious claims and be audaciously wrong!
Do you have any evidence to suggest these religions have monotheistic origins? Unless you have actual evidence (quran is NOT evidence) your religious views will not be taken into consideration.
Again, do you have evidence of all the 100,000 prophets? How come all the important ones are from the middle east? It shows that this is nothing more that a mere stunt to dispel the accusation of plagiarism.
A lot of Muslim scholars have suggested the very high likelihood of Hinduism, Zoroastrianism and other religions having monotheistic origins. Zoroaster himself is considered a Prophet by many Muslims... Although we don’t speak of such matters with confidence, we can only confirm the religions that the Qur’an confirms to be of monotheistic origins. We say Allah (SWT) knows best.
I want to ask you a question though: what do you think of the Prophesies made by the Prophet (SAW)? Wallahi this in of itself is enough reason to believe.
The Prophet (SAW) made prophesies that will occur shortly after his death. He made prophesies that will occur in the period of the tabi'een, tabi tabi'een, Islamic golden age, Middle Ages, up until modern day. The Abbasid, Ummayid and Ottomon dynasties were all prophesied.
“There will be Prophethood for as long as Allah wills it to be, then He will remove it when He wills, then there will be Khilafah on the Prophetic method and it will be for as long as Allah wills, then He will remove it when He wills, then there will be biting Kingship for as long as Allah Wills, then He will remove it when He wills, then there will be oppressive kingship for as long as Allah wills, then he will remove it when He wills, and then there will be Khilafah upon the Prophetic method” and then he remained silent." (Ahmed)
After the khulafaa ar rashideen there came hereditary-like kingship (The Umayyid, Abbasid, Fatimid, Ottomon, etc dynasties).
How did the Prophet (SAW) prophesise that the reign of the khulafaa' ar raashideen will last 30 years?
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said,
The Caliphate will remain after me for thirty years, then it will change into a cruel monarchy. Thus, Mu`awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said after thirty years had passed, "I am the first of the kings."
(Extracted from the treatise written by Abu Zayd Al-Qayrawany, vol. 1, p. 96).
A: This Hadith was related by Imam Ahmad in "Al-Musnad", Al-Hakim in "Al-Mustadrak", Abu Ya'ly in "Al-Musnad", ibn Hibban in his Sahih (authentic) Book of Hadith, and Al-Tirmidhy in his "Sunan".
PS. Mu'awiyah was the first of the Umayyid dynasty.
Abu Bakr (RA)'s reign was a little over 2 years.
Umar (RA)'s reign was 10 years.
Uthmaan (RA)'s reign was 12 years.
Ali (RA)'s reign was 5 years.
Hasan (RA)'s reign was for a few months (which then made a total of 30 years) before he compromised for the greater good. He gave his khilaafat up because Mu'awiyah (RA) and his army wanted to attack Hasan (RA) and his army since he (Mu'awiyah) wanted the leadership for himself. Hasan (RA) gave us his khilaafat to establish peace between the Muslims (that were on either side).
The Prophet (SAW) prophesied all this.
“
Verily, this son of mine is a chief, so perhaps Allah will make peace between two large groups of Muslims through him” (An-Nasa’i ; Sahih Bukhari).
It was only when Mu'awiyah (RA) came into power that the kingship-like rule that was hereditary started.
One of the prophecies are that Dajjal's donkey will be extremely white and there will be 40 cubits between it's ears. Some of the contemporary scholars have interpreted this to mean the donkey is a metaphor that’s infact referring to an airplane.
In the hadeeth of al-Nawwaas ibn Sam’aan about the Dajjaal, it is reported that the Sahaabah said: “O Messenger of Allaah, how long will he stay on the earth?” He said, “Forty days: one day like a year, one day like a month, one day like a week, and the rest of the days like your days.” … They said, “How fast will he travel through the earth?” He said, "
Like the clouds when they are driven by the wind...” (narrated by Muslim, 5228)
You must understand that the Prophet (SAW) used terms and words so that his companions (RA) would understand what he (SAW) is talking about. "Bows and arrows" could in fact be a figure of speech alluding to modern weapons or the weapons that will be in use when Gog and Magog are released.
Just like the way the "white donkey" (with 40 cubits between it's ears and "travels like the clouds when they are driven by the wind") is being used to refer to an airplane.
Among the signs of the Hour mentioned in the hadith Sahih al-Bukhari is: “When the destitute (al-buhm) camelherds compete in building tall structures.” So Arabs competing in building tall buildings is the sign of the hour. This is a recent phenomenon and a bit of research would confirm that Arabia was almost completely deserts a few decades ago.
"When you see Mecca, its mountain with holes (pierced through them), and its buildings reach its mountain tops, then as-Sa’ah (the Hour) has already cast its shadow." The buildings have recently surpassed the mountain tops in Mekkah!
Among them is that women will have hair like the hump of a camel. (This hadith has baffled the Ulema for quite a long time till they saw current hijab styles. I believe it came into fashion about 10 years ago).
I could show you much more.
