Prophets in Islam
Concept of Prophethood in Islam
Prophethood is not unknown to heavenly revealed religions, such as Judaism and Christianity. In Islam, however, it has a special status and significance.
According to Islam, Allah created man for a noble purpose: to worship Him and lead a virtuous life based on His teachings and guidance. How would man know his role and the purpose of his existence unless he received clear and practical instructions of what Allah wants him to do? Here comes the need for Prophethood. Thus Allah has chosen from every nation at least one prophet to convey His Message to people.
Allah's Prophets
Allah's prophets are His messengers to humanity. Their essence is human, and they are the purest of human beings. Allah sent each prophet as a warner to his community until the advent of the final prophet, Muhammad (PBUH), who came as a mercy to all of Allah's creatures. Allah the Almighty declared: «And We have sent you (O, Muhammad) not but as a mercy for the 'Alamin (mankind, jinn and all that exists).» Surah 21: 107
