Who Are Prophets of Allah?

A Prophet of Allah is a special person chosen by Allah to teach people about Him and guide them to the right path.

Allah sent many Prophets to different people throughout time. They all taught people to worship only Allah and to live good lives.

Memory Verse and Qur’an Reading

The Qur’an tells us about Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) and other Prophets. The following verse reminds us about Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W):

مَا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبَا أَحَدٍ مِّن رِّجَالِكُمْ وَلَٰكِن رَّسُولَ اللَّهِ وَخَاتَمَ النَّبِيِّينَ ۗ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمًا

This means: “Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the Messenger of Allah and the Seal of the Prophets. And Allah is ever All-Aware of everything.” (Surah Al-Ahzab, Ayah 40)

This verse teaches us that Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) is the last Prophet sent by Allah.
