“In Islamic tradition, since our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, has been the last of all prophets, God is not going to send another prophet. but God might send inspired preachers to bring people back to the right path. And so this is all within God’s will.”

Why were prophets only sent to the Middle East?

Question from viewer: "If Allah wanted mankind to follow Islam and abide by its rules, then why did he send prominent prophets with their scriptures to the Middle East region only, leaving America, Australia, India, China, and many other areas? Allah tells us in the Quran that he sent prophets...

I’ve characterized the incident that happened to me at the mosque as a prophetic warning. That’s my perspective. From an Islamic perspective, what happened to me at the mosque might be understood as “Allah sent an inspired preacher to bring me to the right path”.

Before I visited the mosque, my Muslim friend spoke with the Imam about it and made the arrangements. My friend didn’t know ahead of time that the Imam was going to speak briefly with me in private. Neither did I. I hadn’t requested a meeting and was surprised when it happened. So was my friend.

Inspiration, yes... But what spirit?

Be mindful that the devil has plans and sharing those plans may be perceived as prophecy.

It is plausible that when the AntiChrist comes he will claim to be the Christ. And so I believe it is reasonable that his followers will be called Christian.

Inspiration, yes... But what spirit?

I’m willing to replace my characterization of the conversation as “a prophetic warning“ with “an inspired message”.

Be mindful that the devil has plans and sharing those plans may be perceived as prophecy.

Just to clarify for my readers, the Imam himself didn’t call what he said to me was a prophecy. I perceived his message as prophectic.

Who inspired the Imam? He said the message was from Allah and the Catholic Church says that Allah and the God of Catholicism is the same God.

It is plausible that when the AntiChrist comes he will claim to be the Christ. And so I believe it is reasonable that his followers will be called Christian.

That’s an interesting thought. One that I hadn’t previously considered.

The Imam didn’t say anything about the message being related to the days of the AntiChrist. It could be that it is.
