Life and Time of the Messengers

The exact number of prophets and messengers sent by Allaah is not known. However, the Qur’an clarifies that all prophets were sent to various nations to preach Islamic monotheism. Muslims believe that all Divine Messengers, including those shared with Judaism and Christianity, conveyed the same message of true monotheism and submission to the one God, Allaah.

Belief in these prophets and messengers is an essential part of the Islamic faith. Muslims do not differentiate between them, according them all the same respect and reverence.
