Prophets

• Ibrahim

  Known to be one the most intelligent prophets and

  the friend of Allah regarded as a hanif. Rejected polytheism

  (belief in more than one God). Willing to sacrifice his son Ishamel, refusing the devils temptation three times has extreme importance.
• Adam


  Said to be the father of humanity. He was the first human being formed from a handful of soil of many colours representing diversity of people on earth. The Story of Him and his wife, Eve eating from the tree is important to Muslims as it emphasises on the forgiveness of Allah.
• Isa (Jesus)


  Islam recognises him as a prophet, the Son of Mary and not God,

  or God himself rejecting the Trinity. He was given the Injil (Gospel) and performed miracles.
• Muhammad 


  The seal of the prophets sent by God. He is the one that was able to spread the message of Islam to his nation successfully. He was the perfect example of a human being according to Islam.
• Muslims believe that communication between God and humans is 'risalah' - bringing God's prophecy
• The prophets were human beings chosen to give God's guidance to the people, it is important to understand the wisdom given is God's himself and not personal wisdom of the prophets
• Allah sent many prophets throughout history to guide his people
• Muhammad is the one who ends the series of prophets sent by God, and that is why he is known as the Seal of the Prophets
