Prophets in Islam Quiz

Study Notes

Prophets in Islam are individuals who spread God's message on Earth and serve as models of ideal human behavior. Muslims believe that many prophets existed, including many not mentioned in the Quran. The Quran states that for every community, there is a messenger. Muslims believe that the first prophet was also the first human being, Adam, created by God. The last prophet in Islam is Muhammad ibn ʿAbdullāh, whom Muslims believe to be the "Seal of the Prophets". In Islam, every prophet preached the same core beliefs: the Oneness of God, worshipping of that one God, avoidance of idolatry and sin, and the belief in the Day of Resurrection or the Day of Judgement and life after death. Classical Islamic teaching, especially Shia Islam, teaches that unlike other human beings, prophets have the quality of ʿiṣmah, i.e., are protected by God from making mistakes or committing grave sins. Some were called to prophesy late in life, while some were called to prophesy at a young age. The Tawrat mentions that Deborah was a prophetess as well as the fourth Judge of pre-monarchic Israel. The question of Mary's prophethood has been debated amongst Muslim theologians. Abraham is widely recognized for being the father of monotheism in the Abrahamic religions. Prophets and messengers in Islam often fall under the typologies of nadhir ("warner") and bashir ("announcer of good tidings").Prophets in Islam: Their Messages, Warnings, and Legitimacy
