The Biblical Prophets in the Quran - Paperback

by Farooq Mirza (Author)

It may surprise some readers that a considerable portion of the Quran is devoted to Old and New Testament Prophets. The common themes in most stories in the Quran are the continuation of divine revelations throughout humanity's moral history and the illustration of ethical principles derived from these stories. Thus, the religion of the Quran is better understood within the context of the great monotheistic faiths preceding it, which, according to Muslim belief, culminate and achieve their final formulation in the teachings of Islam. The religion of the Quran is a continuation of Judaism and Christianity, with Muhammad being the last Prophet. In short, without Judaism or Christianity, there would have been no Islam.

The following is the list of all the biblical prophets mentioned in the Quran:

Adam, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Lot, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Job, Moses, Aaron, David, Solomon, Jonah, Elijah, Elisha, Zachariah, John, and Jesus
