Question Hour: Was Lord Shiva Muslims' first prophet?

In a controversial statement, Jamiat Ulema's Mufti Muhammad Ilyas on Friday said that Lord Shiva was Muslims' first prophet.

“All religions are preaching the same message. We are Indians first and our message is of peace, harmony and brotherhood. The way people in China are called Chinese and in Japan are called Japanese, similarly we are called Hindustani,” Ilyas said.
