If Prophet Muhammad (saws) were to pay a visit to America.....

IF he the Prophet (SA) was alive for one day as was permitted to travel and stay in America, the whole of America if not the world would embrace Islam.. So I doubt I'd have much time with him on a 1 to 1 basis... ISA Brothers and Sisters in Islam will meet the Holy Prophet (SA) and be greeted by him before we enter Janah. I hope I am amongst those who will meet him and our Lord Allah Ta'ala. Ameen.

Has anyone else read Dostoyevsky's The Brothers Karamazov; in particular the chapter ' The Grand Inquisitor'?

If you haven't please ignore this post as it will make no sense at all. If you have, it does rather make you wonder, doesn't it?

indeed it does but my personal opinion is that unlike in the book, there sadly wouldn't be any shock as concerns his character. that said, this conversation is neither here nor there.

Why couldnt you afford to die?
We all will die. You can ask him SAW all the questions you have in jannah InshaAllah.

We already have Qur'an and as sunnah with us.
in his last sermon, prophet Miuhammad SAW said that Allah has perfected the religion for us and that his tasks are fully completed. Everything that we need to live in this world and to fully serve Allah SWT is there in the Qur'an and sunnah.

Anyway, I am not quite sure how this hypothetical situation which is impossible to happen can help us in our deen?
There's infinitely more chance that prophet Isa (as) visits us in the masjid than prophet Muhammad SAW does.
This kind of imaginary talk remind me of how atheists would often claim "I will believe in God if God or an angel appears in front of me"
This also reminds me of WWJD (what would jesus do). Oh how they (christians) will be in a nasty surprise when prophet Isa (pbuh) will finally return to earth.

I am like Y sulaiman, I can't wait to have a chance to talk with all the prophets in jannah. Amiin yaa Robbal al amiin.

Lol, chill out.. It's just a hypothetical question, meant to get people thinking and to start some fun/friendly discussion.

My apology if my post sounded negative, didn't mean it to be.
I was just trying to give another perspective I guess.

What would you want to do if such a thing were to happen?

What questions would you ask him (saws)?

Assalaam alaikum.

I think I be having plenty of questions to ask.

I ask him all questions about the bid'ah people.

1. I tell him people celebrate his birthday. Is that something he (saws) recommend?

2. I ask him about what the Shia people say about him (saws) and ask him if what they say is true.

3. I also ask him about the Sufis and those people who dance round and round....can't recall what u call em exactly.

4. I ask him about ladies who want to become imam too. And about women who want to rule the country....like how Benazir Bhutto was doing.
