question uh that we're going to do is
about why did God wait 600 years after
Jesus Christ before sending the Quran
and why didn't he just send it right
from the very beginning so the question
is basically somebody's curious why is
the fact that 600 years went by Between
the sending of two prophets what is the
wisdom behind this delay well firstly
just to uh just to correct the exact
date uh as far as we know and again
we're not certain when Jesus Christ was
born but as far as we know uh the
prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam was
sent basically around 500 something
years after the uh the the lifting up of
Jesus Christ he was born in the late
part of the 6th century and the actual
immigration of the Hijra occurred in the
year 622 of the Christian era so roughly
yeah around 600 years uh when the
beginning of the prophethood uh occurred
so the question is why this delay and
the response is general and specific ask
for the general response the general
response is nobody can fully question
the wisdom wi of God and understand it
as Allah says in the
Quran you can't ask the wisdom of what
he does you can't understand you can't
fully comprehend why does God do things
rather don't ask why God has done things
rather realize you will be asked for
what you have done so we as human beings
should put ourselves in our proper place
we are not qualified to question the
wisdom of God or to challenge something
that he has done uh the specific
response this is a general response and
it is a response that is given anytime
somebody asks why why why why we give a
general response in the end of the day
Allah knows best he is the all wise but
that doesn't prevent the fact that we
might have some specific areas that we
can uh talk about and of these specific
things is the fact that no doubt the
Quran would have come down at a certain
point in time suppose it was 500 or 300
or a th000 years whatever time it would
have been revealed in somebody could
have asked the same question why was it
revealed in 300 or 500 or th000 years
you're asking why it was revealed at
this specific time it was the response
is because God chose to do so and there
is a Divine wisdom for that now an even
more specific response is that Allah
subhah waa chooses people and places and
times to send prophets and Messengers
and he always chooses the best of the
best he chooses the best people and he
sends them to the locations that they
are the best suited for and he sends
them at the best time so that their
preaching and their teaching can have
the most uh effect and all of this goes
back to the wisdom of God the wisdom of
Allah and so the teachings of Jesus
Christ they went up and they went down
and they spread and they diminished and
political Empires captured them
political Empires embraced them and
others rejected them and it so happened
that the emperor Constantine of the
Christian uh of the Christian Empire the
Byzantine Empire uh well he wasn't
Christian he accepted Christianity and
he made it the official state religion
and this helped spreading the doctrines
of Christianity but the doctrines of
Christianity that he spread were not the
TR the true doctrines of Jesus Christ
they were the the uh the perverted
teachings of Jesus Christ and so for a
number of years a number of centuries
there were many branches of the
teachings of Jesus Christ they were the
judeo Christians and then they were the
Breakaway Christians who later on became
known as the Christians and then there
were the uh very uh uh mystical uh the
the very esoteric uh Christian groups as
well and other groups the true
Christians were Those whom modern
historians calls the Christians I.E
Christians who saw themselves as Jews
the breaking away of a different
religion was never intended by Jesus
Christ Jesus Christ was a Jew he
practiced the laws of the of Judaism he
practiced the laws of the Torah he never
broke away from the laws of of Moses in
fact he came to fulfill the law and not
to break it Christians later on one
group of them broke away from the law
and this was based upon the teachings of
Paul and Paul basically said you don't
have to follow the law you don't have to
be circumcised you don't have to
basically obey the teachings of God as
revealed in the law of Moses this
faction of Christianity was only one
faction eventually Constantine adopted
it and made it the state religion and
began to spread it to make a long story
short it was around the coming of our
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him
sallallahu alaihi wasallam where all
remnants and traces of the original
teachings of Jesus Christ were lost up
until his time there were remnants there
were groups here and there and we know
this from our sources that there were
groups that believed in the true message
of Jesus Christ they believed in him as
a prophet and a messenger not as the Son
of God God doesn't have children God
doesn't have sons and daughters they
believed in him as he believed in
himself they believed in him as a
prophet and a messenger these teachings
dwindled they waned until finally they
disappeared from the face of this Earth
and there was no true guidance at all
and that was when Allah subhanahu wa
taala Allah all glory and exalted and
mighty is Allah chose to send our
Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him
sallallahu alaihi wasallam with the
original teachings of all the prophets
including Jesus so Allah knows best who
to choose who to send them to and what
timings that they are sent and this is
something that when we study
historically we can find wisdoms we can
find bits and pieces here and there but
in the end of the day ultimate wisdom
and ultimate knowledge is with Allah and
there's only so much that we can say and
so we trust Allah's judgment We Trust
Allah's wisdom and we say Allah knows
best and with that we'll come to the
conclusion of uh this question I'll see
you next time until
then e
