Fatwa #598427 June 2002United States of America

Was wondering why only the Middle Eastern Prophets are mentioned by name in the Qur’an. Since we know that prophets were sent to every corner of the world, why were their names not mentioned?

Answer

Allah Ta'ala sent approximately 120 000 prophets to guide mankind. Allah Ta'
ala says, 'From among them, we mentioned some and did not mention others.'

Allah is Hakim (The All-Wise). The wisdom for not mentioning every prophet
in the Qur'aan is best known by Allah.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

We Muslims believe in Allah being the sole Creator and the only worthiest of being worshipped...and that Prophet (SAW) is his last messenger. A person in the present world...3. A person who's asked to take up hijaab or pray five times a day...his reply is that we muslims will goto heaven anyway. How do we approach such kind of muslims.
