Prophets of Islam

Muslims identify the prophets of Islam (in Arabic known as nabi ) as those humans chosen by Allah to be his messengers.

 According to the Qurran the descendants of Abraham and Imran were chosen by Allah to bring the "Will of Allah" to the peoples of the nations.

Eventually, Muslims believe that prophets are human and not divine, though some are able to perform miracles to prove their claim.

 Islamic theology says that all of Allah's messengers preached the message of Islam—submission to the will of God.


 The Qurran mentions the names of numerous figures considered prophets in Islam, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus, among others.


Furthermore , Muslims believe that Allah  finally sent Muhammad (Seal of the Prophets) to convey the divine message to the whole world (to sum up and to finalize the word of Allah).



In Islam, the "normative" example of Muhammad's life is called the Sunnah (literally "trodden path").

 This example is preserved in traditions known as hadees ("reports"), which recount his words, his actions, and his personal characteristics.

Beside this, Hadith Qudsi is a sub-category of hadith, regarded as the words of Allah(SWT) repeated by Muhammad differing from the Quran in that they are "expressed in Muhammad's words", whereas the qurran are the "direct words of Allah".

 The classical Muslim jurist ash-Shafi'i (d. 820) emphasized the importance of the Sunnah in Islamic law, and Muslims are encouraged to emulate Muhammad's actions in their daily lives.

 The Sunnah is seen as crucial to guiding interpretation of the Qurran.

Six of these collections, compiled in the 3rd century AH (9th century CE), came to be regarded as especially authoritative by the largest group in Islam, the Sunnites.


 Another large group, the Shia, has its own adith contained in four canonical collections.
