Prophets of God

Prophets of God in Quran Bible & Torah

هارونū
Harun Aaron

Harun (Aaron) served as an assistant to his older brother Musa (Moses). In Islam, he, like Musa, was given the task of saving the Israelites from the Egyptian pharaoh. He would often speak for Musa when Musa’s tounge issues prevented him from doing so himself.

ذو الكفل
Dhul-Kiflmost likely Ezekiel

The status of Dhul-Kifl as a prophet is debatable within Islam, although both sides can agree that he was indeed a righteous man who strived in the way of God. Some studies also note that Dhul-Kifl can be also Obadiah, who is mentioned in the Old Testament to be the one that took care of 100 prophets. He is also believed to have possibly been Gautama Buddha.

داودDawud David

In Islam, the Zabur (Psalms) were revealed to Dawud (David) by God. He is also significant as he is the one who defeated Goliath.

سليمان
Süleyman Solomon

Süleyman (Solomon) learned a significant amount from his father Daud before being made a prophet by God. According to Islamic tradition, Süleyman was given power over all things, including the jinn. Known for his honesty and fairness, he also led a kingdom that extended into southern Arabia.

إلياس
Ilyas Elijah

lyas (Elijah), descendant of Harun (Aaron), took over control of the southern part of the Arabian Peninsula after Sulaiman's (Solomon)kingdom collapsed. Islamic tradition says he attempted to convince the people of the Peninsula of the existence of only one God, but when the people refused to listen they were smitten with a drought and famine.

اليسع
Al-Yasa Elisha

Al-Yasa (Elisha) took over the job of leading the Israelites after Ilyas' (Elijah) death. He attempted to show the king and queen of Israel the powers of God, but was dismissed as a magician. Subsequently, the Assyrians were able to make people burn and inflict significant damage on them.

يونس
Yunus Jonah

Islamic tradition shows that Yunus (Jonah) was commanded by God to help the people of Nineveh towards righteousness. However, after Nineveh's people refused to listen to God, he became disgruntled and became angry for God. After an incident where Yunus was spared death, he decided to re-commit himself to striving for God, attempting to lead the people of Nineveh to righteousness. But after returning to evil, illicit ways, the Scythians conquered them.[44] ;

زكريا
Zakariya Zechariah A descendant of Süleyman, Zakariya (Zachariah was a patron of Maryam (Mary) the mother of 'Isa.

God granted his wishes, temporarily lifting his wife's sterility and allowing her to give birth to Yahya (John). يحيى

Zul-Qurnain Cyrus the Great King of Persia
Qur'an 18:83-98 verses mentions a prophet Allah communicated with who built a wall to separate tribes of Yajoog & Majoog (Gog &Magog in Bible) to protect the people in his kingdom.

عيسى
Isa Jesus

The prophet who talked at birth One of the highest ranked prophets in Islam, Eisa Maseeh, (Jesus the Messiah) was sent to guide the Children of Israel. The Qur'an makes it very clear that in Islam, Jesus is not the son of God, but rather a nabi and rasul (messenger) of God and son of Mary (Marium).
'Isa performed many miracles with the permission of God. For example, raising the dead, creating a bird from clay, talking as an infant. Islamic traditions states that he abstained from drinking alcohol. It also states that he received a revelation, the Injil (Gospel) Bible, though according to Islam, it has been distorted. Quran and Muslim teachings state 'Isa was not crucified, meaning he was not killed on the cross. Isa was raised up to God and will return to Earth to fight the Dajjal during the time of the Mahdi . .)

محمد
Muhammed Only Prophet who was raised from his sleep to travel outside Earth into space and see all the Seven Heavens and Hell and finally met Allah. Muhammed ibn 'Abdullah,(53 B.H-11 A.H; 571-632 AD) [46] is the last prophet in Islam ("seal of the Prophets") His father's name was 'Abdullah ibn 'AbdulMuttalib and his mother's name was Amina bint Wahb az-Zuhriyya. Muhammed (Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam). Born in Mecca in 571 AD (53 AH), Muhammed spent the first part of his life as a well-travelled merchant. He would often spend his time in the mountains surrounding Mecca in prayer contemplating the situation with the city. At the age of forty, during one of those trips in the cave of Hira in the mountain, Muhammed was visted by Gaberial and began to, receive and recite verses from Allah which today make up the Qur'an. He quickly spread the message he was receiving, converting a few others in the city, including his wife. He is the last (seal) of the prophets with a message to all humanity. When oppression became intolerable for his followers, Muhammed first asked his fellow Muslims to migrate to Medina and later himself migrated to Medina away from the oppressors in Mecca. Muhammad served not just as a prophet, but as a military leader who was helped by God to defeat the Meccans in 624 during the Battle of Badr. He continued to lead the Muslims as Islam spread across the Arabian Peninsula. He performed the first hajj in 629 and established Islam as it is still practiced by Muslims today. Others continued Muhammad's legacy after his death in 632, having been given the position of caliph (or successor) to Muhammad. The Five Pillars of Islam were established from his Hadiths after Muhammad's death.
