salam alaikum,
thank you/jazekallah khair for answering - I will read over the link you provided when I am less tired
Another curiousity I have is this:
In the Quran, Allah says that each nation is sent a messenger.
What about the inhabitants of early France, that were painting animals on cave walls, long before the Greeks or the Romans. And the Etruscans, and the Mesopotamians.
From cave men to those who built stonehenge - why did they not recieve a messenger? they knew no religion - especialy that of Allah.
If Adam was the first man, and knew of Allah, why did we not hear about Allah and his religion until the Gospel, Torah, and Quran? Man has existed long before the first of these were ever recorded.
Why the gap? Why is there no mention of Allah until thousands of years after the first humans?
Why would Allah let hundreds of generations live godlessly, as heathens, never knowing his promise?
