Hy the lack of apparitions in Islam? (Edited Title)

[daler]

Thank you for those insights! I have no doubt that Jesus came for all people.

Dorothy,
. I believe that, too. It was very troubling, however, growing up in the 50s, 60s, and 70s era, seeing the degree of intolerance and racism on the reservation. The hypocrisy was apparent all the time, while in contrast, there were some who were very sincere in showing Christian love towards the Indians, but it seemed to be rare.

. The minister in my church was eventually asked to leave because he was such a high example of caring for the poor and oppressed. You could always see him sitting out in front of the parsonage with some of the Sioux, spending more time with them than the folks who paid his salary…

. The issue in this day is the unity of all of humanity, not just black and white, and red and yellow, but people of different nations and religions, including Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Native American, etc.

. There must be not only tolerance, but proactive interest in learning what others believe, rising above our inherited beliefs. For had any of us been born into a Muslim family, for example, or Hindu, that is what our “beliefs” would be. We tend to echo our parent’s beliefs without seeming to understand that God has worked amongst other people’s, not just us. To God, there is no “them”

How many Indians, may I ask, have sat on those councils?

Zero, and as such, no one is obligated to believe that “Black Elk” had an authentic vision.

Well, my friend, no one is obligated to belief anything, whether Daniel had visions of when the crucifixion of Christ would occur after 70 weeks = 490 years following the decree of Artaxerxes in 457 BC, which accurately predicted “Messiah shall be cut off” in 34 AD, or thereabouts. Or his vision of 2300 days (years) from that starting point the time of the end would be fulfilled, which was 2300 - 457 = 1843 + 1 (no year zero) = 1844. Or that time (360) + times (720) plus 1/2 time (180) = 1260 AH = 1844

Nor are we obligated that John had visions of 3 1/2 days (years) x 360 = 1260 years, or that 42 months x 30 = 1260 AH, thus proving Muhammad in prophecy, since 1260 AH is 1844 AD

Nor are we obligated to believe that Jeremiah was right when he said the “Lord shall set His throne in Elam”, which is where Daniel had his above vision. Elam is SW Persia, where in 1844 AD (1260 AH) The Lord did just that when the Bab appeared, announcing the coming of Baha’u’llah in 1863 AD, which is 1280 AH (again see Daniel).

We aren’t obligated to believe anything, but I testify to the truth of all of the above, including Daniel, Jeremiah, John, and Black Elk, too. (I know too much to keep silent)

God bless you abundantly, my dear brother

It happens. Many people throughout history have seen prophet Muhammad [peace be upon him] in a dream. Just do a quick Youtube search and you’ll find many testimonies and explanations.

A sheikh I admire very much, Ahmad Sirhindi [may Allah have mercy on him], claimed to see Muhammad and Imam Ali in the same dream.

Thank you for this. I googled this name and read some interesting information on dreams. I think that dreams of a spiritual nature are always significant. Generally, I would think, that they are personal in nature, for the guidance of that soul who dreams. Sometimes, however, it can influence others, if positive, and if so, confirmations will follow.
