Nabi

A Nabi (Arabic: نبي, romanized: nabī, lit. 'prophet') is an Islamic term that refers to individuals who have been chosen and sent by God to deliver his message to mankind. In Islam, prophets are considered to be human beings who, due to their piety and devotion, were chosen by God to receive divine revelations and convey them to others. The term is often used interchangeably with Rasul (Arabic: رسول, lit. 'messenger'), although in Islamic tradition, a Rasul is specifically a prophet who was given a new scripture or law. The Hebrew translation for Nabi is Navi (נביא). In Persian, the term is Peyghambar (پیامبر), and in Turkish, it is Peygamber. The concept of prophets is central to Islamic belief, with Adam being considered the first prophet and Muhammad the last and final prophet, who received the Quran, the holy book of Islam.
