Maryam was a Prophet. Even medieval scholars like Ibn Hazm acknowledged that. She served in the temple, something only men used to do. Gabriel spoke to her as he did to other prophets. Miracles are associated with her as they are with other Prophets. She was chosen to deliver the Word (Hazrat Isa) which was her revelation. Her mother thinking she was going to have a son had dedicated her child in service to the temple. That her daughter was destined to play that role under the guardianship of Zakaraia goes to show that God had meant her to do what men were doing. Note that she prayed with other men in the temple too.

In my culture, a long time ago, there's a story about a Spirit called "Revelation Bringer" came down called upon a man to receive revelation, but no man came out to the Spirit, so a brave woman came to the Spirit and the Spirit taught her the laws and prayers. The Spirit taught that there is one God called Minamangun and He sit on His throne above the 7 Heavens. So up until now most of the religious figures are women.

And We sent not (as Our messengers) before thee other than men whom we inspired. Ask the followers of the Reminder if ye know not. (Quran 21:7, Pickthall) Often in the Bible, the masculine sex is used to refer to both sexes. An example is: Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. (Matthew 5:8, NKJV) Another example is in St. Paul's writings: For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. (Romans 8:14, NKJV) We know from other places in the Bible that God has both sons and daughters (not biological ones, of course). (Deuteronomy 32:18,19; Isaiah 43:6; II Corinthian 6:18) So, the word,"sons," is used in Matthew 5:8 and Romans 8:14 in a generic sense to refer to both sexes. If one were to translate that Arabic word in Quran 21:7 as "men" instead of "humans" as Pickthall did, it would be used in a generic sense to refer to both men and women. Dr. Shabir's explanation was good, too. Anyway, if Muhammad asked Jews and Christians if there were only male prophets and not female ones, we would emphatically say that that is not true. There have been prophetesses, too. Dr. Shabir mentioned a few of them. There are other prophetesses in the Bible, too. Hannah the mother of Samuel, Huldah, and the daughters of St. Philip the Deacon are some other examples. Very good explanation by Dr. Shabir. Really people need to break away from interpreting Scripture too literally. Excessively literal interpretations of Scripture are what produce cults and extremist groups. I don't think God is a Fundamentalist.

[@jo2399]

Like other comments are saying, it made sense that there wouldn't be many women prophets because each prophet was sent for a specific group of people. In ancient societies, the majority of them didn't hold women in the same regard as men. The men prophets often got persecuted by their own people and even Prophet Muhammad (SAW) got stones thrown at him and was chased out of town by the people of Ta'if. Most likely, there were some women prophets and they were for the fewer matriarchial societies.

I understand what he tries to convey, however I still do not understand why female prophets (if there were any) weren't explicitly mentioned in the holy books? Even if women were not taken seriously in that specific Islamic Age, would they not have been benefited if the Quran did mention the existence of female prophets? And also, if women are considered to be equal to men in the eyes of Allah (SWT), would they also not be given the same level of importance in the Quran? I understand the presence of Isa (AS) mother, Maryam (RA), as a prominent figure in the holy book, yet in comparison, men are always given a disproportionate amount of attention/importance in the Quran. Not a hater, just a Muslim trying to find her place in the world and feel seen in the eyes of the Creator and trying to understand if I really do matter :) UPDATE: i'm an atheist now lmaoooo either god is uninterventionalist or doesn't exist and i'd much more prefer the latter than believe in islam

The responder has answered incorrectly, his answer shows a great ignorance and contradicts the Qur'an and sunnah. Ibn Abbas reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "أَفْضَلُ نِسَاءِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ خَدِيجَةُ بِنْتُ خُوَيْلِدٍ وَفَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَمَرْيَمُ بِنْتُ عِمْرَانَ وَآسِيَةُ بِنْتُ مُزَاحِمٍ امْرَأَةُ فِرْعَوْنَ" “The best of women among the people of Paradise are Khadija bint Khuwaylid, Fatimah bint Muhammad, Maryam bint ‘Imran, and ‘Asiyah bint Muzahim, the wife of Pharaoh.” Source: Musnad Aḥmad 2896 Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Albani It is therefore clear that there could not have been a female prophet as none of these 4 women were prophets yet they were the best of the women. Had there been female prophets, they would have surpassed the women mentioned in the hadeeth as Allah ﷻ has chosen his prophets to be the best of His slaves. This is further cemented in the Qur'an (02:42), Allah ﷻ has stated: "... يَا مَرْيَمُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَاكِ وَطَهَّرَكِ وَاصْطَفَاكِ عَلَىٰ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ" ".. O Maryam! Verily, Allah has chosen you, purified you, and chosen you above the women of the nations.'' If the responder is ignorant then it is befitting for him to remain silent on these matters and learn. It is clear to those with knowledge that he is speaking from his whims and desires, his words only seem to appease the western agenda in diluting Islam from its core values due to the rise of Feminism and modernist ideology. The correct answer is that Allah ﷻ has chosen some of his slaves over others. Men and women have been created differently and therefore have different roles and responsibilities in society. Women have been chosen over men in some regards and men have been chosen in other regards. Leadership has been assigned to the men of the Ummah, the prophet ﷺ said when he heard the news that the people of the Persia had made the daughter of Khosrau their Queen (ruler): "‏ لَنْ يُفْلِحَ قَوْمٌ وَلَّوْا أَمْرَهُمُ امْرَأَةً ‏"‏‏ "Never will succeed such a nation as makes a woman their ruler." Sahih al-Bukhari 7099 There is no dispute among the scholars that one of the conditions of the imaam or leader is that he should be male. Ibn Hazam reported in his book Maraatib al-Ijmaa’ that there was scholarly consensus on this point. In the section he says: “Out of all groups of the people of the Qiblah [i.e., all Muslim sects], there is not one that allows the leadership of women.” Al-Qurtubi reported something similar, and al-‘Allaamah al-Shanqeeti said, “There is no difference of opinion among the scholars on this point.” There are other examples where Allah ﷻ has given preference to women, E.g. Men have to work to provide for their wife and family and so therefore the wife has a right over the money. However, the money that a wife earns is for her to keep and the husband has no right over that money. We see therefore that Islam takes into consideration the differences between men and women in the roles and responsibilities the genders have in society, it is therefore a religion of justice and wisdom, not equality.

But from my understanding, the word رجال in Arabic refers to humans "regarding the gender - male or female" who have certain qualities; for example, many scholars had called AishaThe prophet's wife رجلة. Meaning that she holds all the characteristics needed to be called رجلة كما في لسان العرب "ﻛﺎﻧﺖ ﻋﺎﺋﺸﺔ، ﺭﺿﻲ اﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻨﻬﺎ، ﺭَﺟُﻠﺔ اﻟﺮﺃﻱ "

[@mohammadz0z0]

Ocean Hmmm 🤔 TBH, I don’t think so; the word “Mankind” refers to a community. On the other hand, the Arabic word “Man” refers to Males and Females with specific characters such as good manners, strong personality, standing with Truth regardless of consequences, generosity, bravery etc etc. In fact, the Arabic language is specific in some words and, to some extent, words are taken Metaphorically not Literally to describe a character of that human being, like the word “Man”. However, the word “Mankind” in english, refers to a community regardless of the above mentioned characters.

But there are in fact female prophets in Judaism: 1. Miriam: The sister of Moses and Aaron, Miriam is explicitly referred to as a prophetess (Exodus 15:20). She led the women of Israel in song and dance after the crossing of the Red Sea, praising God for the miraculous salvation. She played a crucial role alongside her brothers in the Exodus story. 2. Deborah: Deborah was both a prophetess and a judge of Israel, making her unique in her leadership role. The Book of Judges (Judges 4-5) describes how she provided guidance to the Israelites and led them to victory against the Canaanite general Sisera. Her “Song of Deborah” is one of the oldest pieces of biblical poetry. 3. Huldah: Huldah was a prophetess during the reign of King Josiah and is mentioned in 2 Kings 22:14-20 and 2 Chronicles 34:22-28. She played a pivotal role in confirming the authenticity of the Torah scroll discovered during Josiah’s reforms and prophesied about the future of Israel.

Quran 4:47 O you who have received the Book, believe in what We have sent down authenticating what is with you, before We cast down faces and turn them on their backs or curse them as the people of the Sabbath were cursed. And the will of God is always done. Quran 5:48 We have sent down to you the book with truth, authenticating what is present of the book and superseding it. So judge between them by what God has sent down, and do not follow their desires from what has come to you of the truth. For each of you We have made laws, a structure. Had God willed, He would have made you all one nation, but He tests you with what He has given you, so advance the good deeds. To God you will return all of you, and He will inform you regarding that in which you dispute.

In some hadeeths it is clearly stated that Faatimah will be the leader of the women of the people of Paradise, apart from Maryam the daughter of ‘Imraan. This rules out the Prophethood of women other than Maryam, such as the mother of Moosa and ‘Aasiyah, because Faatimah was definitely not a Prophet. Maryam is described as being a siddeeqah (truthful) in the context of raising her and describing her virtues. Allah, may He be exalted, says: “The Messiah (Iesa (Jesus)), son of Maryam (Mary), was no more than a Messenger; many were the Messengers that passed away before him. His mother (Maryam (Mary)) was a Siddiqah (i.e. she believed in the words of Allah and His Books). They both used to eat food (as any other human being, while Allah does not eat)…” [Surah al-Maa’idah 5:75]. Here it is mentioned that the highest degree his mother reached was that of siddeeqah. If there were any higher description, it would have been mentioned, but there is no mention in the Qur’aan or in the saheeh hadeeths of the Prophet that any women were Prophets.

The simple answer is, men ruled the world in the past. If a woman was sent as a prophet no one would take her seriously. Also prophets were supposed to be leaders of their land, which in society throughout history was appointed to a man. Also a man prophet is stronger against enemies trying to put harm into him. A man prophet can lead into war if necessary. A man prophet cant get pregnant or have periods that prevent him from spreading the message. A man can move greater distances without getting tired.

Consider Huldah the Prophetess as it is written in the Hebrew Scripture as you are asked to consult the people of the book... "So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter), and they talked with her. And she said to them, “Thus says Yehovah, the God of Israel: ‘Tell the man who sent you to me, Thus says Yehovah, Behold, I will bring disaster upon this place and upon its inhabitants, all the words of the book that the king of Judah has read. Because they have forsaken me and have made offerings to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger with all the work of their hands, therefore my wrath will be kindled against this place, and it will not be quenched. But to the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the Lord, thus shall you say to him, Thus says Yehovah the God of Israel: Regarding the words that you have heard, because your heart was penitent, and you humbled yourself before Yehovah when you heard how I spoke against this place and against its inhabitants, that they should become a desolation and a curse, and you have torn your clothes and wept before me, I also have heard you, declares Yehovah. Therefore, behold, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace, and your eyes shall not see all the disaster that I will bring upon this place.’ ” And they brought back word to the king." 2 Kings 22:14-20 And Mary even under whichever suggestion, cannot be a Prophetess as all the Prophetesses in the Bible are known and mentioned This Prophetess Huldah even knew the Divine Name of God like all other Prophets before her

Why is there no female prophet in the history of religions? Yes, there are no female prophets in the history of all religions. However, females were mothers of prophets and had the most important part in raising them as role models for society in terms of their honesty and integrity. It were mothers who taught them all the skills of life based on spirituality of the time. Why did God not choose female prophets? One can ask God about it. We could only understand that God granted a higher status of motherhood of prophets. If one looks at the life histories of prophets, it is clear that the responsibilities of delivering the message, leading the believers in trials and tribulations, and handling other matters would have been hard for females especially when they have the responsibility of raising the families. It is interesting to note that the knowledge given to prophet Muhammad(sa) was transmitted mostly through females, his wives because they were the closest observant of his character and life.

It is not ironic! On the basis of those clues we can say for sure that: Qur'an is a codeword for Torah. The Reminder should be the proper Title for the 114 Surats. Islam means an Evangelical Party supposed to enforce the Torah as the Law of the land. Muhammad euphemism for Messiah Abu Quasim as an Arabian Evangelist who later became a Sovereign Ruler, Legislator...and took up Muhammad as a reign name.

From my reading: 1. Majority of the scholars disagree on your point. 2. The verse 21:7 uses the term which you interpreted differently, but had it been to take such a meaning, Allah would have clarified that point. Now the word is more bent on being masculine. In almost all usages, if not really all. 3. You quoted 10:94 about "asking those who have been reading the scripture before thee". This cannot be applied to interpret any verse. At most, it can be used to interpret that Quran is a Wahi and Muhammad is a Prophet; and that is for the Christians and Jews to believe, and maybe the verses in its context. If you want to use their knowledge to interpret more, then at least do that to confirm what's apparent in the Quran rather than for making a sophistic view. Now, the task of a Prophet involve speaking to a mixed audience, being an imam, and may even involve engaging in war. And men are given more authority and responsibility by Allah. And now you're saying there were female Prophets for people (men and women) to follow - based on Bible and a sophistic interpretation of a verse? I cannot agree.

[@sudarshanbabu70]

The answer is bit vague why aren't you speaking just about Quran taking back to the bible wasn't needed. If the answer is yes, are there any names of the female prophets?

[@muhammadshoaib1979]

In Suraj mulk I think it's mentioned that " all prophets were men" Anyone can correct me pls

[@TwinofIcarus]

It says all messengers were men not all prophets. Messengers and prophets are two diff degrees. And we are told not to deny torah or bible even if u dont want to use bible as its corrupt use torah. Torah clearly mentions female prophet. It is a well accepted concept in judaism and Christianity even before islam. Its only muslim scholars that deny it.

Questioning knowledge is not the same as questioning authority. To question and learn and gain wisdom is a tribute to God who gave us critical thinking and intellect. When you question, and learn more, you are being closer to God as it gives you clarity.

I think saying that God has only sent men is replying to the disbelievers who said the prophet is a man like them. Essentially it's saying that all prophets are humans (not angels or some other creatures for example). Therefore dismissing the prophet because he's a human isn't valid. Of course that's just one interpretation.

Actually there were prophets and messangers among jinns

[@H0A0B123]

@@tazboy1934 Actually yeah the word "rijal" is used for jinn in the Quran. I guess I should have said every prophet is of the type of creatures he's sent to.

This isn't about male superiority, patriarchal society has something to do with it from the aspect of practicality, plus prophets are exclusively chosen by Allah and no one can object to anything which He decides or declares, and I guess it is even stated in the Qur'an that even all prophets sent before Muhammad (peace be upon him) were also men! The 360 degree torture, criticism, abuse, resistance, imprisonment, boycott, accusations, lies, manipulation, physical beatings, evil schemes, oppression, killings that most prophets faced and were subjected to from all sections of society including their relatives could never have been endured by a woman! Plus, the roles she is supposed to play as a woman in society would continue to get in the way of prophethood and message i.e vaginal periods, marriage, child labour, and even sexual relations. So it was very wise and merciful of Allah not to lay the heavy responsibilities of prophethood upon women! Mary was a Saint, a friend of Allah and just look at all the criticism and accusations she got from people, especially religious clergies still despite being in such a weak position, Allah comes to her defence and makes her new-born son defend his mother's modesty by helping him through the Rooh-ul-Qudus twice whilst appointing him as a Prophet and a Word of Allah simultaneously so he can talk as a new-born whilst Mary maintains a fast/silence as instructed! Just recall all stories of male prophets and honestly ask yourself how many women of previous times would have successfully accomplished the mission and came out in one piece? Work place harassment, rape, kidnappings, domestic violence still plagues our modern societies, what do you think they d done to a hypothetical female messenger is quite easy to guess! Forget the rest, just imagining how an infidel husband/brother/father would treat such a hypothetical female messenger is an uncomfortable thought to begin with! And Allah knows best!

He doesn't make any sense what he said, so animals also walk on legs how bout that are they included? why he refers to the bible that Muslims think it's not the word of God? why can't he just say I don't know God knows.

[@xantercanterbury1238]

The question is wrong. It is not sincere in obeying or had faith in God. Why they don't asked, "why God created Adam first, not Eve too at the same time" ? Before asking the question, looked at differences between male & female in physical, mentality & emotional level. A female not suite to be a preacher for male audience. She might be 'over powered' physically, humiliated & her honor degraded. People will mock & jeered at her if her dignity 'taken' by force.
