UNIT 6
PROPHETS
Prophets in Islam (Arabic: اﻷنبياء في اﻹسﻼم, romanized: al-ʾAnbiyāʾ fī al-ʾIslām)
are individuals in Islam who are believed to spread God's message on Earth and to
serve as models of ideal human behaviour. Some prophets are categorized
as messengers (Arabic: رسل, romanized: rusul, sing. رسول, rasūl), those who
transmit divine revelation, most of them through the interaction of an angel. Muslims
believe that many prophets existed, including many not mentioned in the Quran. The
Quran states: "And for every community there is a messenger." Belief in the Islamic
prophets is one of the six articles of the Islamic faith.
Muslims believe that the first prophet was also the first human being, Adam,
created by God. Many of the revelations delivered by the 48 Judaism and
many prophets of Christianity are mentioned as such in the Quran but usually with
Arabic versions of their names; for example, the Jewish Elisha is called Alyasa’, Job
is Ayyub, Jesus is Isa, etc. The Torah given to Moses (Musa) is called Tawrat,
the Psalms given to David (Dawud) is the Zabur, the Gospel given to Jesus is Injil
The last prophet in Islam is Muhammad ibn ʿAbdullāh, whom Muslims believe
to be the "Seal of the Prophets" (Khatam an-Nabiyyin), to whom the Quran was
revealed in a series of revelations (and written down by his companions). Muslims
believe the Quran is the sole divine and literal word of God, thus immutable and
protected from distortion and corruption,destined to remain in its true form until
the Last Day.
In Islam, every prophet preached the same core beliefs, the Oneness of God,
worshipping of that one God, avoidance of idolatry and sin, and the belief in the Day
of Resurrection or the Day of Judgement and life after death. Prophets and
messengers are believed to have been sent by God to different communities during
different times in history.
