Muslims believe that prophets show an example of how Muslims should live their life. For example, Prophet Muhammad showed how a Muslim should pray to Allah in order to live a good life and complete one of the five pillars, Salah.
Another belief is that prophets are messengers of God are chosen by God to convey His messages. This means that they are sent by God to spread the message of Islam and to guide people. This can be seen in the Shahadah “There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger”
Some Muslims believe that the Qur'an is the most important authority in a Muslim's life because it contains a complete and accurate record of Allah's message to mankind, revealed to Muhammad through the angel Jibril, and remaining unchanged since its revelation over 1400 years ago.
