MUHAMMAD WAS A PROPHET FOR THE ARABS ONLY

 MUHAMMAD WAS A PROPHET FOR THE ARABS ONLY

So Islam is a religion specifically for Arabs. This is a great tragedy.

In this topic, I will present evidence showing that Islam is solely the religion of the Arabs, and Muhammad is their prophet.

Muslims tirelessly claim that Islam will dominate the whole world. In doing so, they go against the words of Allah as revealed in the Qur'an. Therefore, it’s right to say that they are rejecting the truth.

Qur'an 10:47: "And for every nation there is a messenger. When their messenger comes, they will be judged with justice, and they will not be wronged."

Consider this verse as well:

Qur'an 14:4: "We never sent a messenger except in the language of his people, to clarify for them. Then Allah leads astray whom He wills and guides whom He wills. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise."

If these verses are true, then Islam is not intended for non-Arab nations. The Qur'an states that every people received a message from God in their own language so that they could understand. The Qur'an was revealed to the Arabs so that they might understand what Allah is saying.

This concept of Allah revealing a book in every language is essential because it appears multiple times in the Qur'an and forms the basis of this lesson.

Qur'an 16:36: "And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger, [saying], ‘Worship Allah and avoid false gods.’ Among them were those whom Allah guided, and among them were those upon whom error was [deservedly] decreed. So proceed through the earth and observe how the end of the deniers was."

Qur'an 5:48: "And We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth, confirming that which preceded it of the Scripture and as a criterion over it. So judge between them by what Allah has revealed and do not follow their inclinations away from what has come to you of the truth. To each of you We prescribed a law and a method. Had Allah willed, He would have made you one nation [united in religion], but [He intended] to test you in what He has given you; so race to [all that is] good. To Allah is your return all together, and He will [then] inform you concerning that over which you used to differ."

Qur'an 36:5-6: "[This is] a revelation of the Mighty, the Merciful, so that you may warn a people whose forefathers were not warned, so they are unaware."

These verses are clear in explaining that Muhammad's mission was solely for the Arabs. Allah says in the Qur'an that every people has had its own prophet, who warned them in their own language, and that Muhammad was sent to those who had not yet received guidance, whose forefathers were not warned—that is, the Arabs. This way, they would have no excuse and could not say, "But we never received any message."

Continue reading in the Qur'an:

Qur'an 6:156-157: "[We revealed it] lest you say, 'The Scripture was only sent down to two groups before us, but we were of their study unaware,' or lest you say, 'If only the Scripture had been revealed to us, we would have been better guided than they.' So there has [now] come to you a clear proof from your Lord and a guidance and mercy. Then who is more unjust than one who denies the verses of Allah and turns away from them? We will recompense those who turn away from Our verses with the worst of punishment for their having turned away."

It is clear that the Qur'an was sent to the Arabs. Those who are not Arabs cannot understand the Qur'an; these are Allah's words. Muslims insist that no translation of the Qur'an can be correct, meaning it can never be clear for non-Arabs, and it was not sent to non-Arab nations.

Another confirmation that the Qur'an was intended only for the Arabs can be found in the following verses:

Qur'an 26:198-199: "And if We had revealed it to one among the foreigners, and he had recited it to them [the Arabs], they would [still] not have been believers."

Just as Arabs have the right not to believe in any book that is revealed in a language other than their own—meaning Arabic—so too, non-Arab nations have the right not to believe in the Qur'an, a book written in Arabic. That’s why the Qur'an says Allah will send a messenger to every language so that each people may understand.

To ensure there is no misunderstanding, Allah reveals this verse, Qur'an 5:19: "O People of the Book! There has come to you Our Messenger making things clear to you after a break in [the series of] messengers, lest you say, 'There came to us no bringer of good tidings or a warner.' But there has come to you a bringer of good tidings and a warner. And Allah is over all things competent."

According to the Qur'an, all peoples have received revelations. The above verse states that the Qur'an is for those who have not previously received any guidance, so that they would not say, "We were never sent a bringer of good tidings or a warner."

This is clear, but Allah wants to make it even more straightforward, mentioning specific geographical locations to ensure everyone understands that Muhammad was sent as Allah's messenger to the Arabs only.

Today, we have learned that the Qur'an was sent only for the Arabs and not for all nations. Now, I am sure some Muslims might bring up other verses saying that Islam is for all humankind. If Muslims do so, then they should know that by doing this, they are proving the above verses to be false.

Either the Qur'an is a collection of contradictions, or it is only for the Arabs of Mecca and its vicinity, as Allah, the god of Muslims, has stated.
