The Prophets in Islam were extraordinary individuals sent by Allah (سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ) to various communities for the purpose of being exemplary role models to inspire and spread the message of Islam. The Qur’an mentions 25 Prophets by name but it is believed there were many more as the Qur’an states, “And We certainly sent into every nation a messenger” (Surah Nahl Ayat 16). Below we have written about each prophet story in detail, adapted from the great work of Ibn Kathir, titled “stories of the prophets”. We’ve expanded on certain narrations with the use of contemporary Qur’an commentaries.
Insha’Allah, you can read and learn from the journey of each Prophet as they were perfect role models for all follow. We hope you enjoy this series!
