CENTRALITY OF ARABIA
 The Arabian Peninsula is located exactly in the centre of the dry land
of the globe.
 This central position ensure the spreading of Islam during the
Prophet’s time.
 For example, imagine a dark room that need to be lit by a single
kerosene lamp. If the lamp is place in any of the corner, the light will
not be able to enlighten the entire room. However, if it is put in the
middle of the room, there is a possibility that the entire room will be
enlighten.
 This theory works the same for Islam.
ABRAHAM’S PRAYER TO
ALLAH
 Allah loved Abraham very much because of the sacrifices that he had
made in order to carry out Allah’s mission.
 When he prayed to Allah after the construction of Ka’bah, Allah
granted all his wishes.
 One of his wishes is to raise a prophet from among the Arabs.
 His wish was granted even though it was a bit different in form and
time.
 He asked Allah to send a messenger among Arabs and Allah willed to
send the Last Prophet (PBUH) in the Arab land.
 Prophet Abraham prayed to Allah around 1500 years which means
that he wanted his appeal to be accepted sometime very close to his
time.
 However, Allah granted the wish around 2000 years later. The time
gap between Prophet Abraham and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
was 2000 years.
 Allah also promised to privilege Prophet Abraham’s offspring with
the leadership position.
“And [mention, O Muhammad], when Abraham was tried by his Lord
with commands and he fulfilled them. [ Allah ] said, "Indeed, I will
make you a leader for the people." [Abraham] said, "And of my
descendants?"
[ Allah ] said, "My covenant does not include the wrongdoers."
(2:124)
 Prophet Abraham had two sons, Prophet Ishmael and Prophet Issac.
 Through his second son, there were raised a number of Prophet
consecutively one after another until Prophet Jesus was born.
 But the children of Abraham through his first son had remained
deprived from that privilege.
 By raising the Last Prophet (PBUH) from the family of Ishmael,
Allah had fulfilled His promise.
 The family of Prophet Ishmael settled in the Arabian Peninsula.
Thus, in order to raised Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) from among
Prophet Abraham’s family through the first son, Arabia Peninsula
was selected.
