Is it a problem that the Messenger of Allah peace be upon him was Arab???

I was asked this question on Quora

Do Muslims find it strange that not a single one of the prophets within Islam is Arab till Mohammed?

So I answered 

There have been many Arab Prophets from the Arabian Peninsula like Hud and Salih may Allah's peace be upon them. The question to be honest shows a lack of knowledge. Firstly, in the case of Tafseer the study of the Qur'an there is a entire section in the this science known as Al Isra'eeliyaat (The Stories and happenings of the Israelites and christians). The Qur'an clearly acknowledges that a great deal of prophets were from the Jews as Allah says about them

 {إني فضلتكم على العالمين }

 Very i have preferred you over the rest of creation.

{Baqara 44}

Allah did indeed prefer them over others, and gave them wealth, dominion and religious knowledge by way of Prophets and Kings. However this has no bearing on Islam or the Arabs of that matter, because in our religion we understand that Allah gives and takes from whom he wills, and what you may perceive to be a gift may well and truly be a curse, as we believe that Phir'oun (Pharaoh) was given wealth and status, yet due to his pride and arrogance rejected the truth when it came to him, so he will be from the dwellers of the fire, and the fire is only for those whom Allah hates, which clearly shows that his Kingship did not mean anything with Allah because he will never enter paradise. Also, Phir'oun calls the prophet Musa peace be upon him in Surah Zukhruf مهين which literally means someone who is humiliated, so prior to Allah giving the Jews his blessings they were seen as humiliated downtrodden people with no place in society which leads me on to my final point.

We as muslims do not take pride on the basis of us being Arab or Non Arab, we are proud that Allah blessed us to be Muslims and to put our heads on the floor 5 times a day in submission to him, so in short, we do not feel weird that Allah from what is apparent to us gave the jews far more in the way of Prophets than the Arabs, because Allah is the most wise and most knowledgeable in all things and our allegiance is to the truth, not to any group of people, the nationalism which has infested the Muslim world today was described by the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him as منتن Muntin Putrid/Rancid/Extremely foul smelling.

So we take pride in the Prophet being Arab and we believe god does whatever he wills, and he is the best of planners and the knower of all things, and all that he wills is for the benefit of Mankind, and Allah elevated his final messenger through his acts of worship, kindness, charity, and humility, and not on his lineage.
