How Old was the Apostle Paul when he was converted?
AnswerHe was around 50 years old.Another AnswerAlthough Paul's age upon conversion is not known, it can be estimated. Before his conversion Paul was named Saul, and he was a zealous Pharisee. In the jewish culture a man was not considered an adult until they were 30, and no-one could be a Pharisee unless they were 30. Christ was crucified in 32AD [dated according to Sir Robert Anderson, CI Scofield etc]. The number of followers of Christianity exploded with great impact and force, and this really upset and angered the Pharisees so much that hey tried to exterminate this new religous movement and all its adherents. After all, the Pharisees had crucified its Leader on an official charge of rebellion against Rome, and here He was back again! Because the Pharisees had declared allegiance to Rome they were fearful of Roman retribution upon themselves for not being able to keep things under control. John 1915 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.When Stephen was stoned to death in 33AD [dated by Scofield] his clothing was laid at Saul's feet. Because Saul was described as a "young man" he must have been less than 30. This means the oldest he could have been then was 29 years old.Acts 758 And cast him out of the city, and stoned him [that is, Stephen]: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul.Acts 2220 And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I [now called Paul] also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.According to Scofield, Saul's conversion on the road to Damascus was in 34 AD [Scofield] , making him 30 years old.Although this seems young, it would have been his first year as a Pharisee and he would have been trying to make as good an impression as possible to his peers. (Of course, different datings and interpretations will give different results.).
Important 25 prophets name in Islam?
Prophets & MessengersSince the beginning of time Allah communicated His message to the people of the earth through prophets and messengers to whom He revealed to (waḥy) through the intermediary of the angel Jibrā`īl so that they may convey His message and guide the people to Him and to teach them how to walk the path of righteousness. Every prophet came with the same message, which was to proclaim and call their people to accepting the oneness of Allah.Allah states in the Holy Qur`ān, "We did not send any messenger before you except with the inspiration (waḥy): "There is no god except Me; you shall worship Me alone!."[1]It is our belief that Allah has sent a prophet to every nation and not necessarily to every generation. Allah has mentioned in the Qur'an, "Indeed, we sent in every community a messenger… "[2]"There was not any community except a warner lived among them." [3]As for the exact number of prophets the Prophet (ṣaw) was asked by Abu Dharr (ra), "O Messenger of Allah! What was the total number of prophets?" the Prophet (ṣaw) replied, "124,000 and from amongst them 315 messengers"[4]The difference between a prophet and a messenger, is that a messenger is a prophet to whom Allah reveals a new book or law, and orders them to propagate their new law. Whereas a prophet would merely upholds the law and scriptures of previous messengers. Therefore all messengers are prophets but not all prophets are messengers.We have only 25 prophets and messengers who are mentioned in the Qur'an by name. About other prophets and messengers Allah said, "We have told you the story of some Messengers and of others We have not …" (al-Nisa' 4;164)List of 25 prophets we must believe in:1.
