Prophets of Islam are human beings who are regarded by Muslims to be Prophet s chosen by God . The term for prophet in Islam is '' Nabi '' (pl. ''anbiyaa''). All prophets are Muslims, they were just different in the Sharia that they taught to their nation, but that they all preached the same message; to believe that there is only one God, not to commit Idol-worship , and to follow the word of God, etc, and that they all came to preach Islam and to warn of the coming of the final prophet and messenger of God, Muhammad . Islamic tradition dictates that prophets were sent by God to every nation. In Islam, only Muhammad was sent to convey God's message for the whole of mankind, whereas other prophets were sent to convey a message to a specific group of people or nation. Unlike . '' Tadabbur-i-Qur'an '', vol.8, p.273 Rasul and nabi Muslims believe the first prophet was Adam , while the last prophet and Rasul was Muhammad, thus his title '' Seal Of The Prophets .'' 'Isa ( Jesus ) is the result of a Virgin Birth in Islam as in Christianity, and is regarded as a nabi because he received a '' Wahi '' from God. Jesus is also considered to be one of the rasul as God revealed the '' Injil '' ( Gospel ) to him.see the Qur'an Contrary to Christianity, however, in Islam, it is heresy to claim that God had a son and Jesus is considered to have been human. Muslims believe that God has sent over 124,000 messengers all over the world as mentioned in the Sahih Hadith . ''Ulul Azm'' (the Resolute) :All ''Rasul'' (messengers) are ''Nabi'' (prophets) but not all ''Nabi'' are ''Rasul''. Muslims believe all the prophets sent by Allah are equally important. Although it offers many incidents from the lives of many prophets, the Qur'an focuses with special narrative and rhetorical emphasis on the careers of the first four of the five rasuls mentioned in the Quran. Of all the figures before Muhammad, Moses is referred to most frequently in the Qur'an. (As for the fifth, the Qur'an is frequently addressed directly to Muhammad, and it often discusses situations encountered by him. Direct use of his name in the text, however, is rare.) ALLAH IS GREAT!!! QUR'AN ]] The following table lists the prophets mentioned in the Qur'an. Biblical versions of names are given where applicable. However, it is clearly stated in Qur'an that this list is not comprehensive: }} OTHER PROPHETS Muslims believe in other prophets other than those mentioned by name in the Quran as ther are many verses in the Quran that speak about this:
Muslims believe that God has sent over 124,000 messengers all over the world, as mentioned by the prophet Muhammad in the Sahih Hadith . The verses open up debate, and there is no strong consensus as to the identities of the other authentic Prophets. Al-Imran is mentioned in the Qur'an, he was father of Maryam. Al-Khidr is not mentioned by name, but is traditionally assumed to be referred to in 5 Biblical prophets Danyal (Daniel), Ishaia (Isaiah), Armya (Jeremiah), Samuel are mentioned by Ibn Kathir in his book as prophets. Luqman is mentioned in the Sura named after him but it is unclear whether he is a prophet or a Wali . According to the most wide-spread shiite belief, Luqman was a wiseman, not a prophet nor a Wali . The reported news hold that Luqman had a dream, and in that dream he was asked to choose between being a King and a wiseman, and he chose the second. Additional numerous historical figures may have been prophets, but this is a source of debate and contention, among them: Zoroaster , Gautama Buddha and Ram . However, Muslims will state that there is no way of knowing for sure since they are not mentioned by name in the Qur'an. An argument often used in support of the prophethood of such men is that they came with the word of God, but it was later corrupted, this accounting for the differences between Islam, and the respective religions with which each man is associated. The Hadith and Qur’an support such claims that say that a messenger was sent to every people. Maryam (Mary) mother of 'Isa See Also: Maryam Mary A few scholars (e.g. on women's prophethood] have argued that she was a Nabi Prophetess , since she was sent a message from God via an Angel but the Qur'an does not state that she is one, and thus it definitely cannot be established that she is. The majority position among Islamic scholars is that no woman has received a prophetic mission from God, especially due to religious reasons including the maintenance of '' Hijaab ''. According to the Shi'a belief, she was a holy woman, but she was not a prophet. In the Qur'an, 'Isa is usually referred to as 'Isa bin Maryam (Jesus, son of Mary), a matronymic, indicative of Jesus having no father. Not a human one nor taking God as his "heavenly father", but that Mary conceived by the Will of God. SEE ALSO
