INTRODUCTION
Questions like: What is the purpose of life? How should life be lived? Who is God? What should one look for in a spouse? How should one raise one's children? What happens after death? What are angels? Who are prophets and what are their roles? are all addressed in the Quran and Hadith (the sayings and practices of prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him), the two sources of Islam’s teachings.
Muslims believe that the same angel Gabriel that came to prophets Abraham, Moses and Jesus also came to Muhammad (peace be upon them all). Muslims also believe that God, through the angel Gabriel, revealed the Quran to Muhammad (peace be upon him). This was done over a period of twenty-three years. Muslims consider the Quran to be God's last revelation to mankind. Since one in every five persons on earth is a Muslim, the Quran enlightens and guides over one billion people around the world.
The Hadith are the sayings and practices of prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Muhammad (peace be upon him) lived during the sixth and seventh centuries. Muslims accept him as God’s last prophet and messenger to mankind. He invited people to the same God that Abraham, Moses and Jesus (peace be upon them) invited people to. The sayings of prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) number in the thousands and cover a variety of topics.
This book will look at what these two sources say regarding prophets and list the 25 prophets mentioned in the Quran.

AN ARTICLE OF FAITH
The faith of a Muslim (a follower of Islam) consists of various beliefs. It includes the belief in:
1. God
2. His Books
3. His Prophets
4. His Angels
5. The Last Day
This book focuses on the belief in prophets. We will discuss who they are, their responsibilities, how they relate to our lives, and the connections between the teachings of all of God’s prophets.
The Quran teaches:
"O you who believe! Believe in God and His Messenger, and the scripture which He has sent to His Messenger and the scripture which He sent to those before (him). Any who denies God, His angels, His Books, His Messengers, and the Day of Judgement, has gone far, far astray." (Quran 4:136)
"It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards east or west; but it is righteousness - to believe in God and the Last Day. And the angels, and the Books, and the Messengers; to spend of your substance, out of love for Him, for your kin, for orphans, for the needy, for the wayfarer. For those who ask, and for the ransom of slaves; to be steadfast in prayer, and give Zakah (charity), to fulfill the contracts which you have made; and to be firm and patient, in pain (or suffering) and adversity, and throughout all periods of panic. Such are the people of truth, the God-fearing." (Quran 2:177)
As you can see from the above verse it is part of righteousness for a Muslim to believe in all of God’s messengers.
THE ROLE OF PROPHETS
Muslims believe that Adam (peace be upon him) was the first prophet and Muhammad (peace be upon him) was the last prophet, and in between the two
