After Ibrahim (as), Why Nation Like India And China Remained Without Guidance
What I read from history and books, after death of Muhammad SAW, Sahabas migrated to different regions of world to settle down and spread the message of God. That was also the guidance and advice given by Muhammad SAW that dawah should be done by religious leaders till end times. Now no single nation is oblivious of the Islam, or maybe there are remote areas where certain communities are not aware of Deen e Islam, so it’s religious scholars and leaders responsibility to reach out to them apart from individual Muslims to play their role within their reach.
4000 years ago, China, Japan, India, Korea, and far eastern countries like Australia and Indonesia were divided into Monarchies, Dynasties, Kingdoms and tribes with different names at different points in History. There was no concept of citizenship in that era. Slavery, Feudalism & Tribalism were prevalent as systems in that era of human history. People were ruled as Subjects of their Masters & not as free Citizens like today in Nation-State Democracies. Furthermore there was no need for Prophets in those areas of the world. These Regions and their people were not ignorant of Religious Traditions. Hinduism as the world’s oldest religion was already prevalent in India & Far east Asia. Later on Established Religion such as Buddhism, based on the teachings of Gautam Budha, took root All over Asia. Similarly Confucianism (the Philosophy of Confucius) spread across China, Japan and Korea. All these Religions & Philosophies have Ethical/Moral Principles as well as Metaphysical concepts Similar to Islam. These Religions and Philosophies might be the remnants of teachings of ancient Prophets(Quran mentions that Messengers/Warner were sent to every nation in the world), who must have come to preach in these regions before the advent of Prophet Ibraheem.
