who are the prophets?

Question

Abraaham, Mose ,........... Jesus and Muhammad prophets of God

Answer 1

1) Adam-Adam :
"Adam is the first prophet of Islam and the first human being. He was created by God but brought to life forty days after being kept as a dry body." He is an important figure in Judaism and Christianity as well and he is best known for the story of Adam and Eve.

2) Idris - Enoch
In Islam, Idris lived during a period of drought inflicted by God to punish the people of the world who had forgotten Him. Idris prayed to God for salvation and an end to the suffering and so the world received rain.

3) Nuh - Noah
Although best known for the Deluge, Nuh was a primary preacher of monotheism at his time. According to Islam, it was this faithfulness to God that led to his selection for building the Ark that would continue life on Earth. In contrast with Christian and Jewish traditions which say the Deluge was a global event, there is some difference in opinion in Islam over whether the flood associated with Nuh was localized or global.

4) Hud - Eber
According to Islam, Hud, for whom the eleventh sura (chapter) (Arabic:eleventh sura) of the Qur'an is named, was one of the few people to survive a great storm inflicted by God, similar to the Deluge five generations earlier, to punish the people of the `Ad who had forgotten about God. Note that Hud, by comparison and records, is not ever mentioned in the old testament.

5) Saleh - Shaloh
According to the Qur'an, Saleh was ordered by God to leave behind his people, the tribe of Thamud, after they disobeyed God's order to care for a special camel and instead killed it. In Saleh's absence, God punished the people with a large earthquake. Note that Saleh is not Shelah mentioned in the old testament.

6) Ibrahim - Abraham
Ibrahim is regarded by Muslims today as one of the significant prophets as he is credited with rebuilding the Kaaba in Makkah. His family, including his son Ismail, is also credited with helping create the civilization around Makkah that would later give birth to the final prophet of Islam, Muhammad. Ibrahim is also noted for almost sacrificing his son Ismail (Ishmael) for God in an event now commemorated annually by Eid ul-Adha. He is also the first prophet to name the believers as "Muslims" meaning "those with full submission to God"

7) Lut - Lot
Lut is most notable in Islam for attempting to preach against homosexuality in Sodom and Gomorra, only to be mocked and ignored by the people who lived there. Islam also denies the acts attributed to Lot that are mentioned in the Old Testament, like drinking and being drunk and having intercourse with his daughters, which by return bore children from their father.

8) Ismail - Ishmael
Ismail, first-born son of Ibrahim, is a notable prophet in Islam for his near-sacrifice in adulthood. As a child he and his mother Hagar's search for water in the region around Makkah led God to reveal the Zamzam Well which still flows to this day

9) Ishaq - Isaac
According to Islamic tradition, Ishaq, second-born son of Ibrahim, became a prophet in Canaan. He, along with his brother Ismail, carried on the legacy of Ibrahim as prophets of Islam.

10) Yaqub - Jacob
Yaqub, according to the Qur'an was "of the company of the Elect and the Good" and he continued the legacy of both his father, Ishaq, and his grandfather, Ibrahim. Like his ancestors, he was committed to worshipping one God.

11) Yusuf - Joseph
Yusuf, son of (Yaqub) and great-grandson of Ibrahim , became a prominent advisor to the pharaoh of Egypt since the pharaoh was believed to have seen a dream, which was interpreted by Yusuf (AS) that predicted the economic state of Egypt. He spent a large part of his life away from his eleven brothers, who, jealous of Yusuf, since their father favored him. They took him one day, telling their father that they where going to play and have fun, but they planned to kill him but instead throw him down a well and went home telling their father Yaqub that Yusuf was eaten by a wolf.

12) Ayub - Job
According to Islamic tradition, Ayub was rewarded by a fountain of youth, which removed all illnesses except death, for his service to God in his hometown outside Al Majdal. Ayub is believed to have suffered an illness for 18 years as a patience test by God.

13) Shoaib - Jethro
Jethro (Arabic:Shoaib) was a direct descendant of Abraham (Arabic:Ibrahim). According to Islam, he was appointed by God (Arabic:Allah) to guide the people of Midyan and Aykah, who lived near Mount Sinai. When the people of the region failed to listen to his warnings, God destroyed the disbeliever's villages. Although it is mentioned in Quran and by the reported speeches from prophet Muhammad that Moses married one of Shoaib's daughters, and this is the same thing mentioned in the old testament for a man called Jethro, but some scholars say that Jethro in the old testament is not the same person, Shoaib, who is mentioned in Quran.

14) Musa - Moses
Moses (Arabic:Musa), referred to in the Qur'an more than any other prophet, is significant for revealing the Torah (Arabic:Tawrat) to the Israelites. The Qur'an says Moses realized his connection with God (Arabic:Allah) after receiving commands from him during a stop at Mount Sinai. He later went on to free the enslaved Hebrews after the Egyptian pharaoh denied God's power. Moses subsequently led the freed Hebrews for forty years through the desert after they refused to obey God's command and enter the Holy Lands, saying to Moses (as mentioned in Quran, Sura 5:24) O Moses! We will never enter (the land) while they are in it. So go thou and thy Lord and fight! We will sit here. During this long journey, Moses received the Torah and the Ten Commandments during another trip to Mount Sinai. At the end of his life, according to Islamic tradition, Moses chose to die to be closer to God instead of taking an offer that would have extended his life.

15) Harūn - Aaron
Harun (Aaron) served as an assistant to his older brother Musa (Moses). In Islam, he, like Musa, was given the task of saving the Israelites from the Egyptian pharaoh. He would often speak for Musa when Musa’s speech impediment prevented him from doing so himself.

16) Dhul-Kifl - most likely Ezekiel
The status of Dhul-Kifl as a prophet is debatable within Islam, although both sides can agree that he was indeed a righteous man who strived in the way of God (Arabic:Allah). Some studies also note that Dhul-Kifl can be also Obadiah, who is mentioned in the Old Testament to be the one that took care of 100 prophets.

17) Dawood - David
In Islam, the Psalms (Arabic:Zabur) were revealed to David (Arabic:Dawood) by God (Arabic:Allah). He is also significant as he is the one who defeated Goliath. It is worth to note that the story of King David with Uriah according to the islamic tradition is different, thus the acts attributed to king David in the Old Testament like sending Uriah to be killed for a purpose of marrying his wife is denied in Islam.

18) Sulaiman - Solomon
Solomon (Arabic:Sulaiman) learned a significant amount from his father David (Arabic:Daud) before being made a prophet by God (Arabic:Allah). According to Islamic tradition, Solomon was given power over all things, including the jinns. Known for his honesty and fairness, he also led a kingdom that extended into southern Arabia.

19) Ilyas - Elijah
Elijah (Arabic:Ilyas), descendant of Aaron (Arabic:Harun), took over control of the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula after Solomon's (Arabic:Sulaiman) kingdom collapsed. Islamic tradition says he attempted to convince the people of the Peninsula of the existence of only one God, but when the people refused to listen they were smitten with a drought and famine.

20) Al-Yasa - Elisha
Elisha (Arabic:Al-Yasa) took over the job of leading the Israelites after Elijah's (Arabic:Ilyas) death. He attempted to show the king and queen of Israel the powers of God (Arabic:Allah), but was dismissed as a magician. Subsequently, the Assyrians were able to make people burn and inflict significant damage on them.

21) Yunus - Jonah
Islamic tradition shows that Jonah (Arabic:Yunus) was commanded by God (Arabic:Allah) to help the people of Nineveh towards righteousness. However, after Nineveh's people refused to listen to God, he became disgruntled and became angry for God (NOT as some people say, angry against God or ignored God). After an incident where Jonah was spared death, he decided to re-commit himself to striving for God, attempting to lead the people of Nineveh to righteousness. But after returning to evil, illicit ways, the Scythians conquered them

22) Zakariya - Zacharias
A descendant of Solomon (Arabic:Sulayman), Zacharias (Arabic:Zakariya) was a patron of Mary (Arabic:Maryam), mother of Jesus (Arabic:Isa). According to the Quran, he prayed to God (Arabic:Allah) asking for a son, since his sterile wife al-Yashbi could not provide one. God granted his wishes, temporarily lifting his wife's sterility and allowing her to give birth to John (Arabic:Yahya).

23) Yahya - John the Baptist
Yahya was cousin to Isa and Islam says that, throughout his lifetime, John (Arabic:Yahya) captivated audiences with his powerful sermons that preached Abrahamic monotheism.

24) Isa - Jesus
One of the highest ranked prophets in Islam, 'Isa al-Maseeh, (Jesus the Messiah) was sent to guide the Children of Israel. The Qur'an makes it very clear that in Islam, Jesus is not the begotten (physical) son of God, but rather a nabi and rasul (messenger) of God.

'Isa performed many miracles with the permission of God. For example, raising the dead, creating a bird from clay, talking as an infant. Islamic traditions states that he abstained from drinking alcohol. It also states that he received a revelation, the Injil (Gospel), though it has been distorted. Muslims believe that 'Isa was not crucified, meaning he was not killed on the cross. Whether he was put on the cross or not is an issue of interpretation. Main stream Muslims belief is that 'Isa was raised up to God.

25) Muhammad
Habib u'l A'zam, Imam u'l Anbiya Sayyidina Muhammad ibn 'Abdullah,(53 B.H-11 A.H; 571-632 C.E) [9] is the last prophet in Islam ("seal of the Prophets"). Idolatry of any of the prophets should be avoided, as their messages from God hold the most weight. His father's name was 'Abdullah ibn 'AbdulMuttalib and his mother's name was Amina bint Wahb az-Zuhriyya. Muhammad is considered the most perfect creation by God. Born in Makkah in 53 B.H (571 CE), Muhammad spent the first part of his life as a well-travelled merchant. He would often spend his time in the mountains surrounding Makkah in prayer contemplating the situation with the city. At the age of forty, during one of those trips to the mountain, Muhammad began to, despite his illiteracy, receive and recite verses from God which today make up the Qur'an. He quickly spread the message he was receiving, converting a few others in the city, including his wife. He is the last (seal) of the prophets with a message to all humanity. When oppression became intolerable for his followers, Muhammad first asked his fellow Muslims to migrate to Medina and later himself migrated to Medina away from the oppressors in Makkah. Muhammad served not just as a prophet, but as a military leader who helped defeat the Makkans in 624 during the Battle of Badr. He continued to lead the Muslims as Islam spread across the Arabian Peninsula. He performed the first hajj in 629 and established Islam as it is still practiced by Muslims today. Others continued Muhammad's legacy after his death in 632, having been given the position of caliph (or successor) to Muhammad. The Five Pillars were established after the prophet Muhammad's death.

Answer 2

According to the Quran there were over a 100 prophets sent to mankind. Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammed... were but a few. Some people are shocked to realise that Adam (as in Adam & Eve) was also a prophet being the first man to be created by God.

Answer 3

The last one was not a prophet.

Answer 4

Praise be to Allah.

Let me say the difference between a Prophet and a Messenger:

There are a number of views on this issue, one of which is that of Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him):

“A Prophet (Nabi) is one to whom Allaah reveals (yanbi’uhu) something, and he passes on what Allaah has reveals to him. If he is sent with that to those who go against the commandments of Allaah, to convey a message from Allaah to them, then he is a Messenger. But if he follows a sharee’ah that came before him, and is not himself sent to anyone to convey the message from Allaah to them, then he is a Prophet and not a Messenger…” (al-Nubuwwaat, p. 255). Other scholars add different details, but these are the most important of them. And Allaah knows best.

Answer 5
