Prophets and Messengers
Prophets and messengers were human beings who were very noble and pious role models. They were neither divine, nor angels nor jinn.
Islam teaches that God sent prophets and messengers to all nations. Since the beginning of time, God has communicated His guidance through these chosen people. They were human beings who walked and lived among their people. They taught nations about faith in One Almighty God and how to be good. From the first prophet, Adam (P), to the last prophet, Muhammad (peace be upon him), Allah’s message eventually reached all corners of the world.
Allah says in Quran:
“And for every nation there is a messenger.” [10:47]
“Indeed we have sent with you the truth conveying to people Our good tidings and warnings. And there is no nation, which has not been sent a warning messenger of warning).” [35:24]
