Prophets of God that are found in Islam.
The Five Highest Ranked Prophets in Islam and the Reason for Their Call.
� Muhammad: Apostle of God.
� Noah: Preacher of God.
� Abraham: Friend of God.
� Moses: Speaker that was with God.
� Jesus: the word of God.
Muslims are taught and believe that true prophets are:
� Totally sinless or are protected from major sin. (This belief is from Muslim tradition and is not taught in the Qur'an.)
� Prophets are to avoid the major evils or sin. This will nullify the minor lapses.
Prophets are needed for:
� Calling men and women back to God.
� Proclaiming the divine message of God.
All True Prophets Preach the Same Message:
� Oneness of God.
� Submission to His laws and commands.
� Do good work, which will lead to Heaven - Paradise.
� Jesus: The word of God.
The information presented so far is strictly an Islamic view point. There is some truth to be found in the information presented thus far. But what are we to believe when the Bible and the Qur'an are not in agreement with one another? If you are a Muslim the Qur'an, if you are a Christian the Bible, but which one is true?
The author and former Muslim Sam Solomon writes:
Islam gains its authenticity by claiming that its teaching is the continuation of the Torah and the Gospels of the New Testament, while at the same time protecting itself from comparison and thus exposure.
