The Role of Prophets and Messengers
Islam considers prophets to be the messengers of God, who have been sent to guide humanity towards righteousness. The primary source of information about prophets in Islam is the Quran, which is believed to be the word of God, revealed to the Prophet Muhammad through the angel Gabriel over a period of 23 years.
Muslims believe that God has sent numerous prophets to guide humanity, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, who is considered the last prophet. Each prophet brought the message of the oneness of God and the importance of righteous living. In Islam, prophets are considered to be human beings who are chosen by God to deliver His message, and are not considered to be divine or semi-divine.
In addition to the Quran, the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad, known as hadith, are also considered a source of guidance for Muslims. Hadith provide further details about the lives of the prophets, their teachings, and their interactions with their communities.
Prophets in Islam are believed to have been sent to all nations throughout history, and Muslims believe that the message of Islam is a continuation of the same message that was brought by earlier prophets. The Quran emphasizes the importance of believing in all of the prophets and following their teachings.
