Prophets and messengers in Islam

In Islam, Prophets of Islam (Arabic: Anbiyāʾ أنبياء or Rusul رسل) are individuals who were chosen and sent by God (Allah) to convey His message to humanity. The Quran, the holy book of Islam, mentions numerous prophets, including Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, who is considered the last and final prophet. The term Anbiyāʾ generally refers to all prophets, while Rusul specifically denotes those who brought a new scripture. In Hebrew, the term can be translated as נביאי האסלאם. In Persian, they are known as Peyghambarān-e Eslām پیامبران اسلام, and in Turkish as İslam Peygamberleri. The concept of prophethood in Islam emphasizes the continuity of divine guidance, with each prophet building upon the messages of those who came before. The prophets are revered as role models of moral conduct and submission to God's will.
