How many prophets were there?

Written by Adibudeen

Tuesday, 19 April 2005

Only some two dozen Prophets are mentioned by name in the Holy Qur'an. However, there are many Islamic traditions that place the number at 124,000, which were sent by Allah at different times, to different locations, and to various people throughout the tenure of human beings on this planet. It is universally accepted in Islam that Adam[upon whom be peace] was the first Prophet; and Muhammad[peace and blessings be upon him] was the last Prophet, and there will be no other Prophet after him.
