Why did Allah send prophets only from the Arabian Peninsula?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The Arabian Peninsula lies between the Red Sea and the Arabian Gulf from west to east, and between the southernmost tip of Yemen and the borders of Syria and Iraq from south to north. Most prophets were sent from outside the Arabian Peninsula; some were in Iraq, Syria, and Egypt, and most of them were not Arabs but rather from the Children of Israel.
