Introduction
Why am I writing
Since my childhood, I have been very fascinated with reading and hearing stories. Whenever I saw someone telling a story, I would sit beside them and listen with tireless attention. When I read any book about every prophet of Islam or listen to someone recount their stories, it enchants my mind and fills my heart with peace. Suddenly, one day while chatting with some people around me, the topic of prophets came up, and I found that many of them were ignorant about these stories. That’s when I realized they were not the only ones in the world who did not know about this, and I felt it was important for every Muslim to be aware of it.
Who are these prophets?
“And indeed they are, to Us, among the chosen and outstanding.” (Surah Sad 38:47). Prophets are the best people on this earth. They are the chosen men of Allah.
What is their responsibility to mankind? Man is not always able to identify truth with his senses and intellect alone. Therefore, the Prophets have been sent to this world as messengers of Allah to search for the great truth.
Number of Prophets
How many prophets did Allah Ta’ala send to this world? One narration we find in this regard is that Allah sent 124,000 prophets. However, here I will present the biographies of 25 prophets whose names are clearly mentioned in the Qur’an.
