Prophets and the Prophethood
It is hard enough to prove God exists, let
alone what God wants for how we should
live our lives etc. Prophets are part of the
answer for Muslims.
Prophets are people chosen by God to
communicate His message. They are
promoted to prophethood as a gift from
God to help humankind understand all
that is good and to understand God.
Humans forget, misunderstand or change
God’s teachings, so prophets are needed
to set people back onto the right path.
Muslims believe there have been 124,000
prophets in history; 25 of those have been
named in the Qur’an.
“Every community is sent a messenger, and when their
messenger comes, they will be judged justly; they will not
be wronged.” Qur’an 10:47
Key Terms:
Prophet
A person who proclaims the

You are going to research into three of the
most important of the 124,000 prophets in
Islam: Adam, Ibrahim and Muhammad.
Other significant prophets in Islam are Musa
(Moses) and Isa (Jesus). Yes, Muslims recognise
that Jesus is a prophet and role model,
however, they do not believe that he was the
son of God and they do not believe that he
rose from the dead. Even so, the Twelver
branch of Shi’a Islam also agree with Christians
that Jesus will return to the world again to
bring justice and peace.

We need a Prophet!
Looking at our world today, there are plenty of problems and difficulties that need
sorting and solving. Perhaps we need a Prophet that will be a wonderful example
of how to live the right kind of life and be an influential teacher of what is right.
Your task is to create a Prophet that will be the ideal role model and teacher for
us.
• What would they teach people?
• What issue(s) or problem will they tackle?
• What kind of a person will they be (qualities)?
• How will they behave?
Draw a stick man in your book under the title “My Prophet for Our Problem”.
Write around it your answers to the questions above.
They could already be alive and a real person now, but you will need to justify why
they deserve to be seen as a Prophet.
