Muslim
prophets of Islam (
Arabic:
النبوة في الإسلام) as those humans who were assigned a special mission by
God to guide humans. Muslims believe that every
prophet was given a belief to worship God and their respective followers believed it as well.
[1] Each prophet, in Muslim belief, preached the same main belief, The Oneness of the Divine Creator, worshiping of that One
God, avoidance of
idolatry and
sin, and the belief in the Day of Resurrection. Each came to preach
Islam
at different times in history and some told of the coming of the final
prophet and messenger of God, who would be named "Ahmad" commonly known
as
Muhammad. Each prophet directed a message to a different group of people, and thus would preach Islam in accordance with the times.
Messengers are prophets whom have been ordered to convey and
propagate what God revealed to them. To believe in the Messengers means
to believe that God has sent them to creation to guide them, and perfect
their life, and their hereafter, and He has aided them with miracles
which demonstrate their truthfulness; and that they have conveyed the
message of God; and have revealed what they were ordered to reveal to
the responsible and accountable individuals; and it is obligatory to
respect all of them, and not to discriminate or differentiate between
any of them, and they are infallible from minor sins and enormities.
