This is silly lol

I had a dream today that Muslims finally got some sense and brought a GPR device or like an X-ray thing and decided to see what's really inside the prophet's tomb in Saudi Arabia. And well the dream just ended there with me getting slightly curious to see what will actually prevail from the process and I woke up.

Explanation:
It was a GPR device specifically because I have these thoughts of Journey To The Centre Of The Earth at the back of my head.

In Islam it's believed that the prophet's body is still intact till today. And like everything else you are not supposed to question that and if you do then it's Satan trying to disturb your faith. And obviously they would never try to prove it because imagine the damage that it can do to the structure of the faith when they find nothing there. There's a few stories about people who tried to prove that in the past and one of them ends up with a couple of people getting beheaded over it. I'm not sure if it's a real story tbh but I would think that of course someone must have gotten curious. Another story says that Iranians tried to steal the body once.

There is no Quran verse that says that though. Only stories from people.

@SW-User the hadith can be even more powerful than the Quran in Islam.

@SW-User It's in the sunna. And you are right though because sunna is basically stories you never know which is right and which is wrong and you can't just ignore it.

@SW-User The hadith are men's words, the Quran verses are from God, through Archangel Gabriel.
I'd prefer to believe in the latter when there is contradiction. If others believe differently, that is up to them, i do not judge.
Also, i am not muslim, but i am a student of religion, culture, and myth.

@SW-User I was a fan of the later once and I totally get that but then I found flaws in Quran that do not sound like they came from a God. There's actually a lot of people who only believe in Quran but sheikhs do not like them.

I'm not judging either 😊 I respect everyone I'm just talking about my own point of view.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether Personally i kinda believe in texts way older. The Sumerian texts. They seem more rooted in logic.
But that is just me. I still like to study all religions. It's fascinating.

@SW-User That's interesting. I like the historical part of older religions too.
If there's really a God anyway I believe they would just judge people according to their deeds and just that no matter where they are and what they are doing and they wouldn't really care if you believe in them or not.

@PiecingBabyFaceTogether funnily enough CJLewis who wrote the Narnia series explored that through allegory when a gentle man made it to heaven though he was a follower of the enemy, evil God. And Alsan says, but all that time he was worshiping him, he was actually worshiping me (ie Aslan's qualities)

I don't know why I told you this. Growing up there were hardly any children's books

Anyway I really loved that concept, then and now 😊
