Faith In
Prophets
1-We
believe that:Allah chose from among mankind some Prophets to reveal to
them.
2-From among those Prophets He selected Some
Messengers.
3-He sent to the Messengers laws and commanded them to proclaim and to
clarrify them to their people.
4-There were a number of Messenger known for their
firm stand and endurance in struggling for the Cause of Allah. They are five:
Noah, Ibrahim, Moosa (Moses), Isa (Jesus), and Muhammad ('Alayhimu s-Salatu wa
s-Salamu) (P.B.U.T.)
5-Embracing Islam does not mean to disbelieve in
Mossa or Isa or any other prophet.
6-Islam teaches you how to believe
correctlt in all Prophets.
7-Allah (Glory be to Him) says in Al-Qur'an: "To you
We sent the Scripture in Truth, Confirming the Scripture that came before it,
And guarding it..." {Al-Qur'an 5:48} i.e. Clarifying the Truth they
distorted.
8-Allah mentioned names of number of Prophets. He says: "Say you
(Muslims): We believe in Allah and the revelation given to us, and to Ibrahim,
Isma'il, Issac, Ya'aqoob (Jacob) and the Tribes, and that given to Mossa (Moses)
and Isa (Jesus), and that given to all Prophets from their Lord. We make no
difference between one and another of them, And we bow to Allah (in Islam)"
{Al-Qur'an 2:136}
9-The first Prophet Was Adam, father of mankind,
'Alayhi s-Salam (P.B.U.H.)
10-Muhammad the Prophet of Islam 'Alayhi s-Salam
(P.B.U.H.), is the Seal (The last) of the prophets. No prophet is to come after
him up to the end of this world.
11-Hence the fact that his
religion is the only true religion to remain up to yhe Last
Day.
12-He is Muhammad son of 'Abdullah son of 'Abdul-Muttalib.
He is an Arab from (the famous tribe) of Quraysh, a descendant of Ibrahim
(Abraham) and Isma'il 'Alayhimu s-Salatu wa s-Salamu
(P.B.U.T.)

Elephant).
14-Allah sent Revelation to him when he was 40 years
old.
15-He stayed in Makkah 13 years calling people to (believe in)
Allah.

emigrated to 'Al-Madinah' and invited its people to believe in Allah, and they
accepted.
