You might not agree with Muhammad.
Weare obligatory to remember them in order to respect them.
It's just like you remember your girlfriend's birthday.

It's not obligatory to remember any 25.
Here are the twenty five that some people think are obligatory to be remembered:

Just to note, it leaves out Maryam (Mary) because that site doesn't think that she is a prophet.
I think that she is.
Why 25? You don't have to.
Peace.

This is for A2Z.
Most of these 25 prophets enlisted by you are revered by the Jews also. So much in common !
Then why this hostility between Muslims & Jews ?
