∙ 14y agoThe Islamic definition of a prophet is someone who has been chosen and favoured by Allah (God) to convey his message to the people on earth and to bring them to believe in and worship him alone. In Islam there are two types of prophets, one is the Nabi who are regular prophets sent to do as mentioned. The second type is the Rasool who are high prophets or messengers as they were sent a revelation in the form of a holy book. They are obviously higher in status.
Islam is an Arabic word that means submission to God and surrender to His will. The Arabic root word is 'Selm' that means peace. Thus, Islam in its universal sense is the religion and call of all God's prophets since the start of mankind. Judaism and Christianity are also God's religions according to God's revelation in the Torah and The Bible to prophets Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them). In the same sense, the very name Islam is the religion according to God's revelation in the Quran to the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
Islam, in its universal sense of submission to Allah (or God), is called for by some 124,000 prophets. Prophet Muhammad was the last of them. The greatest five of these prophets are Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (peace be upon them). It is the Semitic prophets of the Middle East that are most often mentioned in the Islamic faith. This isn't to say the Europeans, Native Americans, Africans, central Asians, Aborigines, South Pacifiers, Indians, Far easterners etc. weren't sent prophets, as Muslims believe that Allah sent prophets to every people.
Apart from Prophet Muhammad, other renowned prophets of Islam include Adam, Nuh (Noah), Musa (Moses), Harun (Aaron), Ibrahim (Abraham), Lut (Lot), Ismail (Ishmael), Is'haq (Isaac), Yacoob (Jacob), Yousef (Joseph), Daud (David), Sulaiman (Soloman), Yahya (John the baptist - though this isn't his role in Islam) & Isa (Jesus).
Others who are less known include Idris (Enoch*), Salih (Shaloh*), Hud (Eber*), Ayoub (Job), Zakariah, Shoaib (Jethro*), Dhulkifl (Eziekiel), Alias (Elijah), Alyasa (Elisha) & Yunus (Jonah)
The following are mentioned in hadith or known from Oral tradition; Ishaia (Isaiah), Sheeth (Seth), Uzair (Ezra), Danyal (Daniel), Armya (Jeremiah) & Samuel.
Dhul-Karnain, Joshua (Assistant to Moses), Imran (Father of Mary), Khidr & Luqman are all mentioned as great men but their prophecy hasn't been specified, so they may have just been great pious individuals favored by Allah.
Note: First; Islamic/Arabic name (Brackets; Biblical eqivalent - in some cases it isn't 100% certain if they are the same person but it is the most likely candidate; marked with asterisk*)
