Prophets (a.s) of ALLAH (s.w.t) -

"I believe in ALLAH, in His Angels, His Scriptures, His Prophets, the
Day of Judgment, and in the factthat every thing good or bad (in the
world) is pre-destined by ALLAH the Exalted, and in the resurrection
after death."
Belief in all the Messengers of ALLAH for aMuslim is:
The Prophets were people from among mankind who were given the message
of Allah directly from the Angel Jibreel. According to a saying of
Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.w), there are one hundred and twenty four
thousand (1,24,000) Prophets (a.s) who have ever been sent down on
earth. Only the main oneshave been mentioned in the Holy Quran.
Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.w) was the seal of the prophets. After him no
new prophet is to be. TheMuslims believe that although his soul was
thefirst to have been createdby ALLAH, he was the last of all the
prophets to be sent down on earth. If a person doesn't believe in any
of the Prophet (a.s), is not a Muslim. All the prophets were people of
merit and patience, belief and certainty, truthfulness and
religiousness, chastity and impeccability, intelligence and
brilliance, trustworthiness; and conveyance of the message. The
Prophets (a.s) were numerous, the first of them was Adam (a.s), who
was created from clay as an unimpaired human in thebest of forms.
After Him among his offspring are; Sheesh, Idrees, Nuh, Huud, Salih,
Shoaib, Ibrahim, Lut, Ismail, Ishaq, Yaqub, Yusuf, Musa, Haroon,
Yeshua, Yunus, Ayyub, Dhu-l-Kifl, Ilyas, Alyasa, Daood, Sulayman,
Zakariyya, Yahya, Eesa, (a.s), and many others. The ALLAH's Messengers
(a.s) are human beings, and ALLAH's servants. ALLAH appointed them to
convey His messages to the other human beings. They were truthful;
neverlie, and did not commit sin. They showed miracles on Allah's
commands; convey His messages in full, without adding, or leaving out
anything from the ordersof ALLAH. Nor did they withhold any of His
messages. The Prophets (a.s) were also human beings, and ALLAH's
servants, they convey the commands of ALLAH to Hisbeings; were
truthful andnever told a lie, nor committed any sins. They did not
subtract or add anything in the commands of ALLAH, nor did they hide
any Divine orders. There is a minor difference between a Messenger
(a.s), and a Prophet (a.s). A Rasool is that Messenger, who is given a
new Shariat (Divine law) and a new Book. All Messengers are also known
as Prophets (a.s), whether or not theyare given a new Shariat (Divine
law). Thus, a Nabi may followed the previous Shariat and the Book. The
prophet were appointed only by ALLAH's choice; meaning that there were
no role for human effort, or intentions in this regard. This bestow,
solely, depends on ALLAH's will. Many Messengers and Prophets (a.s)
came to this world only ALLAH knows their exact number. A Muslim
should believe and testify that all of them were true andright
Messengers of ALLAH. The first Prophet was Prophet Adam (a.s), the
last Prophet was Holy Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.w). The Muslims believe
that the appointment of the Prophets and Messengers(a.s) ended with
the Holy Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.w). No new Prophet will come until
the Day of Judgment. After Prophet Muhammad(s.a.w.w), whosoever claims
to be a prophet, is a liar. Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.w) is the most
exalted and glorious of all the Messengers and Prophets(a.s). He, too,
is ALLAH's servant and obedient to Him. He is the most exalted after
ALLAH, the Almighty. As the end of the Prophethood lasted by the death
of Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.w), thechain of "Wahi", the messages sent
through Jibreel from ALLAH, was also ended. There should be not any
doubt for an Muslim to accept this fact.The one who says or deny it,
is a non believer.
