Why did God stop sending new prophets and religions after Muhammed?

Question

Why stop there I mean Judaism, Christianity, and Islam? Why not have like 5? or 10?

Again, my question isn't "Isn't Jesus the best ever?" or "Isn't Muhammed an evil false prophet?".

And it's actually proven that Islam is a real religion if you didn't know, so then Muhammed was a true prophet then right?

Answer 1

God didn't only sent this three religion(Judaism,Christianity and Islam) to the whole world.If you read the Quran,it is stated that every nation in this world has been send a prophet.Buddha is believed to be a Prophet(Wallahualam) Al Kifli.God stop sending any prophet after Muhammad(PBUH) because God had already preserve the Quran as the only holy book that will NEVER EVER changed by human wicked hand.Islam is sent to the whole world unlike Judaism or Christianity that are only sent for the Lost Sheep Of Israel.

Answer 2

You don't know much about religion I guess. New prophets pop up by the dozens every day. Most just don't catch on, but some like the B'ahais have had small success. The Bab in Persia claim to be the gateway to the divine. We have Sun Myung Moon today claiming Jesus failed and God sent him instead, and though Moonies aren't huge, there are more than a handful. Totalitarian mind control cults are all over the place, and most claim some sort of monotheism.

Answer 3

There are three things which necessitate the advent of a new prophet:

1. The teachings of the earlier prophets have been interpolated or corrupted, or they have died and their revival is needed. In such a case a new prophet is raised so that he may purge the impurities from the lives of the people and restore religion to its pristine form and purity.
- The Qur'an (the final testament from God) is present in its orignal form, the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) are pretty much preserved. In contrast, none of the other holy books are present in their original forms.

2. The teachings of a prophet who has passed away were incomplete and it is necessary to amend them, improve upon them, or add something to them.
- God has stated in the Qur'an that he has completed (perfected) the religion i.e. Islam. Moreover, Islam deals with all the issues related with "how to live". Other Holy Books mention or await new Prophets.

3. That the earlier prophet was raised particularly for a certain nation or territory and a prophet is required for another nation, people, or country.
- Prophet Muhammad (SAW) was sent for all huminity, in contrast other Prophets were region / tribe-specific like Moses, Joseph, etc (PBUT) who were sent for Jews.

Moreover, during the course of human history God has sent more or less 124,000 Prophets & Messengers.

Answer 4

Because he is chosen as the last prophet of all. Everything has an order and it is an order of prophets coming to world. He knows that people would change the holy books before Quran but not Quran so He ended sending prophets n holy books after him. He ended sendin prophets n it shows that Muhammed (sav) and the holy book Quran is the most comprehensive n adequate.

Answer 5

Islam's (serious) explanation for this is that Muhammad was meant to be a message to all of humanity, not just in Saudia Arabia. The implication is that all other prophets were sent to a specific people for a specific purpose, while Muhammad was a sort of "here's your last chance" kinda guy.

It also makes sense from a non-religious perspective. The 6th century was probably the death of the era where entire societies lived in relative isolation. Thus, Islam was able to be focused on one place for a little while right before European acts such as the Spice trade and the desire for Eastern silks and products, the resulting Crusades, the Moorish occupation of Spain, and the Renaissance and age of exploration all threw word of Islam to the four winds. However, that also meant that societies could no longer live in relative ignorance of the world around them, now making the belief in yet another claiming to be a messenger of God relatively hard to accept.

Answer 6

Wrong Mohahameds was not a prophet from God at all. He was a messenger from Satan sent to deceive millions, and he has succeeded.

I do not know where you get your misinformation from, but we still have prophets today. And we will continue to have them until the 2 prophets in the Book of Revelation are taken back to Heaven.

Answer 7

Oh, there's the Book of Mormon too. But of course they don't believe in the Koran, so it isn't really a continuation of the series. See, the Bible is already complete-- the Old Testament, which the Jews accept, predicts the New Testament, though they don't except it as the completion-- hence the difference between Jews and Christians. But whether it is legit or not, the New Testament is designed to be a completion to the Old. The Koran and the book of Mormon are add-ons created by man, and are not predicted by God in the Old Testament.

Answer 8

There have been hundreds of other "prophets" with dedicated followings. The major organized religions, however, label these as cults and dismiss them as a bunch of crazies following a charismatic madman. More or less like the Romans did to Jesus and his followers.

If a true Moses or Christ or Muhammad came along today, wouldn't he be dealt with in the same way?

Answer 9

The world became saturated with prophets (there was actually a glut during biblical times) When you think that these prophets He sent down were responsible for so much death and destruction, it was just time to stop creating these trouble makers. God is smart so he knows it is easier to make stupid people to believe in prophets than than create more prophets.

Answer 10

Understand this:
God does not exist.
All so-called prophets are either self-appointed or appointed by a bunch of crazies desperate for help.
JC was a man ahead of his time and a good teacher but he had nothing to do with an imaginary entity. Just a man.
Mohammed copied Christianity as it existed in his time, modified it by adding more rules for life that were appropriate for the unruly, diseased and chaotic people in his immediate area, allowed polygamy because that's what he liked, indulged in paedophilia himself and lied his socks off to establish himself as an all-powerful 'messenger' of a non-existent deity.
Sex, lies and gang-rape and permission from this mad-man to kill indisciminately in the name of a non-existent deity and a rather foolish, not to mention madly dangerous, religion.
All this prophet nonsense seemed to stop, as humanity became more educated and less likely to fall for the same old trick again, but it hasn't stopped. Does Waco not mean anything to you? It continues, with more self-appointed messengers - and mainly in the bible-thumping US of A it seems. Doesn't that say anything at all to you?
People are foolish. They will believe anything you tell them if they WANT to believe. Then there are the realists. Hi.
