Commentary 35:24 Prophets were raised in every nation, following a particular way of life and a particular behaviour and civilization (Jauharî). The Holy Qur’ân mentions…
وَإِن مِّنْ أُمَّةٍ إِلَّا خَلَا فِيهَا نَذِيرٌ
35:24 Prophets were raised in every nation, following a particular way of life and a particular behaviour and civilization (Jauharî). The Holy Qur’ân mentions mostly the Arab and Israeli Prophets known to the Arabs, Christians and Jews living in the surrounding lands. Had He mentioned Prophets unknown to the contemporaries, it would only have caused confusion among the locals. The aim was to make the teachings understandable to them with references to their own Prophets and to correct misconceptions about them. People living in places like India, China, Africa, the two Americas, Australia and any remote parts of the world had their own guides (cf. 40:78; 2:285).
