    The sacred places are in Middle East.
    Arabia and Egypt are part of Middle East.
    Please back your claims with verses from Quran.

      What is the Arabic word you take to mean "sacred"?

        And this talk a slave nation from Egypt being chosen by God to teach and expand Gods word among all the other Goyim nations. What is this? Is this fair and merciful ? Isn't it Racists?

        And than in the Bible it says Jesus saying "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel"

        What? What about people in Far East? The mogloids, the Africans? The people on other continents across the sea?

        Ahh, I forgot, they are not the chosen people, ah makes sense, God created them but, did not choose them. I guess they are not worthy of guidance.

        Than we have The Quran, written in Arabic somewhere 1-1,5 thousand years ago. For the whole of mankind. Which part of the world spoke in Arabic a thousand years ago? The whole world? Most probably no. Was Arabic even the lingual Franca of The world, a thousand years ago? Does it make sense to sent a book as guidance for the whole mankind, in Arabic?

        I mean, wouldn't it be so much more amazing to send a book of guidance to the all of mankind, in this day and age of High speed connection between people of the world all across the world? In addition, having it to be sent in english, the lingua franca of this day?

        Wouldn't it be amazing for a Prophet to create let's say a YouTube channel where he could share the guidance with whole the world in one instant? A miracle in this day and age? Why making things harder.

        If I can think about these things and possibility, can't God think about this? I'm I smarter than God himself? Of course not!

        Than why ?

        Allah states on 4078 that there were other messengers sent that aren't mentioned in the quran. As the levant (palestine, iraq, lebanon, syria) crosses three major continents, it makes sense for global calls to monotheism to begin there. Traders from arabia, central asia, north africa and Mediterranean europe regularly frequent the levant for trade which provides the perfect breeding ground for a prophet. These traders can then take what they've learnt and spread to other parts of europe, africa and asia.

          Salaamun,

          Middle east? Who said that?
          Did Allah mentioned that Middle East or any other place on earth is sacred?
          Or Did He mentioned that all Prophets and Messengers are sent in Middle Eastern Area only?
          Or any other place is mentioned?

          How many lies people created on Allah.
          May Allah protect us all pr

          If You are connecting with Allah properly in any part of India. Then that part of India is a sacred place.
          If you are connected with shaitaan in any part of the word even Middle East, then that place is worst place in the world.

            Don't misunderstand me.

            I wrote "it began with Abraham", right?

            OP asked why the Monotheistic faiths are concentrated in ME. My answer Because all the sacred places are in Middle East. It's only normal that the system be close to the sacred places.
            It began with Abraham.

            In my answer, I didn't say the Middle East is sacred, rather the sacred places are located there.
            Perhaps I should expand and explain what the sacred places are
            -The direction of your Salat. Where? A sacred place in MIDDLE EAST.
            -Pilgrimage. Where? A sacred place in MIDDLE EAST.
            Then logically speaking, the Monotheist faith should be near these areas, and not in Siberia. As I said, it began with Abraham.

            For some, these sacred places are in Jerusalem/Bakka, for others in Mekka, and for minority in Yemen or Sinai desert...But all these areas are in Middle East.

              You mean of course the polytheists faiths are concentrated in the middle east.
              Places are not sacred, especially not those places (Mekka, Jerusalem, etc) they are the center of blood, corruption, black magic, oppression, and almost everything God has forbidden.

              And from where did you get Ibraham came from the middle east?

                I never said Abraham came from Middle East. Where did I say this?

                I said "It began with Abraham".

                2125
                And it was so, that We have made the Sanctum to be a model for
                the people and a sanctuary. And you shall take, from the station of
                Abraham, a place of communion. And We entrusted to Abraham
                and Ishmael ?You shall purify My Sanctum for those who visit,
                and those who are devoted, and the kneeling, the prostrating.?
                2127
                And it was so, that Abraham was raising the foundations for the
                sanctum, and Ishmael ?Our Lord accept this from us, You are
                the Hearer, the Knowledgeable.?
                2158
                The stone and the rock outcropping are amongst the symbols of
                God. So whoever makes Pilgrimage to the Sanctum, or is merely
                visiting, commits no error should he traverse them. And whoever
                donates in goodness, then God is Thankful, Knowledgeable.
                395
                Say ?God bears truth. Follow the creed of Abraham, monotheism,
                and he was not of the polytheists.?
                396
                The first Sanctum established for the people is the one in Bakk?a,
                blessed, and a guidance for the worlds.
                397
                In it are clear signs the station of Abraham. And whoever enters
                it will have sanctuary. And God is owed from the people to make
                Pilgrimage to the Sanctum, whoever can make a path to it. And
                whoever rejects, then God has no need of the worlds.

                We have different understanding of where these sacred places are; Jerusalem, Mekka, Yemen, Sinai, etc., but all these places are located in Middle East.

                  I doubt that beit in the sense used here is ahouse or building. Rather a spiritual or moral construct.

                  Anybody morl in the worldwould not need,could not need to be materially in such a building in order to be in that moral standing.

                  Salaam

                    You are right, I assumed it.
                    I thought you mentioned him in combination with the "monotheist" faiths in the middle east for some reason, but it was just a statement.

                    There are no holy/sacred/important/etc places. Only polytheist believe in such things.
                    A life, the truth, justice, etc are holy/sacred/important/etc

                          Sikhism is not the creed of Abraham. India is not part of ME.

                          Quran states Mohammed is the seal of the prophets (3340), meaning the Quran is the last Book from God.
                          Sikhism and Sikh scripture is only 600 years old, while the last prophet was probably around 1400 years ago, which means Sikhism is not from God, but a man-made system.

                              Read OP's original post, he's talking about the creed of Abraham, monotheism.

                                Salam,

                                This is an interesting question. If I can add my views, I would state the following

                                1. Messengers have been sent to every nation (near & far) so no one has been technically "left-out";
                                2. Prophets have been concentrated in the Middle East, at least since after the great flood, as humankind rebuilt itself in that region;
                                3. Prophets have been restricted to the progeny of Abraham, who happens to be from the region of the Middle East;
                                4. God's holy site(s) are located in the Middle East (Bakka) where humankind has been required to pilgrimage so as to thank the Lord for His blessings.

                                Regards,

                                Layth

                                  I don't believe that it began with Ibrahim in Middle Eastern Region.
                                  As far as I know Allah didn't mentioned any sacred physical place on the face of earth.
                                  Allah didn't ask His creation to pray building, monuments, status, etc. except Him ALONE.

                                    I disagree with you.

                                    Disagree in what?
                                    I thought it would be impossible for anyone to disagree with that post, so I am very curious what you disagree about.

                                    We'll have to agree to disagree.

                                    I don't agree yet for this agreement in disagreement, I need to know on what you disagree.

                                    • you don't agree that I assumed that you linked Ibrahim's origin to the middle east?
                                      or
                                    • You don't agree that your Abraham comment was just a senseless statement, thus it had some significance to the middle east (if so then what, don't tell me his origin otherwise you will contradict yourself).
                                      or
                                    • You don't agree that there are no holy/sacred places, if so then what place is holy/sacred and why?
                                      or
                                    • you don't agree that a life/truth/justice are holy/sacred/important, if so do you think you will get away with any if you harm them?
