The Prophet and Messenger of Islam (alternatively spelled Nabi and Rasool) (Arabic: النبياء والرسل في الإسلام‎, transliterated. al-ʾAnbiyaʾ wa ar-Rasul fi al-ʾIslam‎) or Prophet of Islam (Persian: المصبعران در آلام‎, transliterated. Paimbaran Dar Islam‎) are those figures whom Muslims regard as Allah

(God in Islam) considered to be designated to provide guidance to humans. In Islamic terminology, they are called Nabi (plural: أَنْبِيَاء, Anbiya or Ambia, meaning: representative, warner) and Rasul (plural: رُسُل , Rusul meaning: messenger) or Mursal (مُرْسَل, plural: مُرْسَلُون, Mursaloon, meaning: messenger).

According to Islamic tradition, Allah sent prophets to every nation. According to Islam, only Muhammad was sent to convey the message of God to all mankind, and all other prophets were sent to specific one or more tribes or nations.

Unlike Judaism and Christianity, Islam describes prophets and messengers as both receiving divine revelation and messengers (messengers) delivering divine messages to a community in the form of books, but prophets who are not messengers do not carry books. According to Islamic belief, Prophets are people guaranteed by Allah to attain Jannah or Heaven in the Hereafter.

A few prophets or messengers are mentioned in the Quran. Muslims believe that Adam is the first prophet, while Muhammad is the last prophet, hence his title, Seal of the Prophets. Like Christianity, in Islam Jesus (Jesus) was born as a virgin and is considered a prophet because he received revelation (unseen or secret revelation) from God. Jesus was also considered a messenger because God was revealing the Gospel to him.

[1] However, unlike Christianity, in Islam, he is opposed to claiming to be the Son of God, and Jesus is regarded as a man.

Significance editing All messengers are prophets but not all prophets are messengers. According to Ibn Taymiyyah, the Messenger is the Messenger to both the believers and the unbelievers, and the Prophet is the Messenger to the believers to whom a Messenger has come before.[2] Also, another interpretation is prevalent that the Prophets received revelation through dreams, and the Prophets received revelation through Angels or the Archangel Gabriel. Muslims believe all prophets sent by Allah are equally important.[citation needed]

Mentions in religious manuscripts editing In the Quran editing Although the events of the lives of many prophets are mentioned in the Qur'an, it gives particular importance to the narrative and rhetorical importance of the lives of the first four of the five main prophets. Of all the pre-Muhammad figures, Moses is mentioned the most frequently in the Qur'an. As for the fifth, Muhammad, the Qur'an addresses him directly, although the Qur'an rarely uses his name directly and it is often hisDiscussed ways to overcome unexpected crisis.
