Up to 300 PROPHETS are BURIED, & alive in MECCA?

Here's another real headache for Muslims...according to their Standard Islamic Narrative (i.e. the 9th-10th century Islamic Traditions), many of the Biblical prophets were buried in Mecca, most of them right around the Ka'aba itself. Theses include Adam and Eve, Seth, Ishmael, Noah, Hud (the great-great grandson of Noah), Salih (the grandfather of Hagar), the Queen of Sheba, Daniel, and between 70 - 300 others, all buried near to or surrounding the Ka'aba, in Mecca. According to Uri Rubin, he notes “A tradition of Muqatil which says that between Zamzam [well] and the Rukn there were buried 70 prophets, including Hud, Salih, and Ishmael. Another tradition which is traced back to the prophet states that the graves of Nuh, Hud, Shu‘ayb, Salih, and Ishmael were located between the Zamzam [well] and the Maqam. In a further tradition, the number of prophets buried between the Rukn, the Maqam, and Zamzam is said to have been 77 or 99. Another tradition speaks of 70 prophets buried....” (Khagarushi, pg. 167b. Cf. Suyuti, Durr, I, pg.136). The prophet also reported that around the Ka‘ba there were buried 300 prophets, and between al-Rukn al-Yamani and al-Rukn al-Aswad there were buried 70 prophets. (Khargushi 167b; Halabi, I, pg. 154”) See aslo Uri Rubin, “The Ka‘ba: Aspects of Its Ritual Functions and Position in Pre-Islamic and Early Islamic Times.” Jerusalem Studies in Arabic and Islam - From Jahi-liyya to Islam - Part 2 (1986), pg.111. Brannon Wheeler notes, “In his exegesis of Q. 2.125, al-Suyuti reports that Shu‘ayb, along with Hud, Salih, Ishmael, and Noah are buried in the sanctuary at Mecca. Taqi al-Din al-Fasi (d. 832/1429) records a number of traditions preserving reports that large numbers of prophets were buried near the Ka‘ba in Mecca.” See Brannon Wheeler, “Arab Prophets of the Qur’an and Bible.” Journal of Qur’anic Studies 8, no. 2 (October 2006): 24–57, pg.35 What's more, according to Umar S. al-Ashqar (pages 144-146), “It is narrated in a ṣaḥeeḥ (authentic) hadith that the Prophet said: “The Prophets are alive in their grave, praying.” (pg.146) He continues, “One of the ways in which Allah honours His Prophets and Messengers is that the earth does not consume their bodies. No matter how long a time passes, their bodies remain preserved from decay". According to a hadith: ‘Allah has forbidden the earth to consume the bodies of the Prophets’.” (pg.144). “The șaḥeeḥ (sound and authentic) texts indicate that the bodies of the Prophets will not decay or disappear as happens to the bodies of others. According to a hadith narrated by Abu Dawood and classed as șaḥeeḥ by Ibn Khuzaymah and others, “Allah has forbidden the earth to consume the bodies of the Prophets.” (pg.64) You can find these quotes in Umar S. al-Ashqar, “The Messengers and the Messages in the Light of the Qur’an and Sunnah”, Translated by Nasiruddin al-Khattab. Islamic Creed Series. Riyadh: International Islamic Publishing House, 2005, pg.146. So, here is the problem for Muslims...if these Traditions are true (and every Muslim has to support them, as they are Sahih, and a quintessential part of the Standard Islamic Narrative), than we should be able to find these 70 - 300 prophets which are buried all around the Ka'aba in Mecca even today, as their bodies do not decay. Yet, there have been many large buildings constructed all around the Ka'aba in the past few years. In fact, just look at the pictures on the thumbnail of this episode, which show numerous tall buildings, including the 4th highest in the world, the Royal Meccan Clock-tower, the Abrāj al-Bayt, along with 7 accompanying skyscrapers, all overlooking the Ka'aba. In order to construct such high buildings, the builders would have to dig deep foundations, which they have, all around the Ka'aba structure, and right over where the up to 300 prophets are supposedly buried. So, where are these prophets? And why have they not been brought to life, or at least put in to a museum for the world to see? They would be one of the 'wonders of the world' if they truly did exist! Yet, there has not been a word about anything dug up from all of these excavations surrounding the Ka'aba...not even a whimper. Because nothing is there! This proves once again what a hoax these Islamic Traditions really are, and why we no longer go to the Standard Islamic Narrative any more, because they have so many 'holes in them' that they just cannot be trusted. © Pfander Centre for Apologetics - US, 2022 (61,990) Music: "Justice and Fame" by Rafael Krux, from filmmusic-io
