Signs of the Prophets <\/h1>\n\n\n\n

God\/Allah has sent the prophets to earth to show us the straight path. In our fallen humanity, we were unable to sustain a vital spirituality, that ensured we stayed in close relationship with God. Allah says that he has made the signs clear for thinking men!\u2019<\/em>[1]<\/a> (<\/em>Surah 6:126). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Qur\u2019an states that some prophets left us signs to guide us on the straight path. This study will highlight the message of those prophets, and the signs Allah gave to them (Surah 7:26). Further on in Surah 7:37a; Allah gives a stern warning: \u2018Who is more wicked than him who invents a lie about Allah or who rejects his signs.<\/em>\u2019 It is important that we study, know and understand the signs of Allah with all truthfulness. We all have a personal obligation to become students of God\u2019s eternal Word and make our salvation sure and steadfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 When the field of the unthinkable is expanded, and maintained for centuries in a particular tradition of thought, the intellectual horizons of reason are diminished, and its\u2019 critical functions are narrowed, and weakened because the sphere of un-thought becomes more <\/em>determinate, and there is little space left for the thinkable. <\/em>Mohammed Arkoun.[2]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s start a journey through the Prophets, and find out what Guidance God\/Allah will provide for us from the prophets and their signs. Maybe, by the Mercy and Graciousness of Allah\/God the unthinkable will be revealed to us by the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God\/Allah will help us in this pursuit of righteousness, Surah Al-Qadr (The Night of Decree) 97:1-5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
