Prophets on whom the holy books were revealed

 

Ibrahim (AS):

Prophet Ibrahim's (AS) tale is well-known, and his deeds are commemorated throughout Qurbani. Allah (SWT) put Ibrahim (AS) to the test throughout his prophecy, but He put him to the ultimate test when He asked him to sacrifice his most prized possession: his son. Ismail (AS), Ibrahim's son, received Allah's (SWT) command. Ismail (AS) understood the significance of obeying Allah (SWT) and agreed to the sacrifice if Ibrahim (AS) chained him to avoid a struggle and blindfolded him so he wouldn't have to see what was going on. At the time of the sacrifice, Ibrahim (AS) followed Ismail's (AS) demands and performed the sacrifice as Allah had directed (SWT). When Ibrahim (AS) took off his blindfold, he was surprised to see a ram instead of his son lying lifeless before him. Allah (SWT) rewarded Ibrahim's (AS) faithfulness by substituting a ram for Ismail (AS) at the last moment, leaving Ismail (AS) uninjured. The Kaaba in Mecca is also mentioned to have been erected by Prophet Ibrahim (AS). The Suhuf Ibrahim (Scrolls of Abraham) was an early scripture, now lost. It taught Muslims what Allah revealed to the Prophet Ibrahim.

Musa (AS):

Musa (AS), the 14th prophet, is the most named individual in the Qur'an. He was born to an Israelite household in Egypt at a time when the Pharoah commanded that all newborn boys be murdered every two years. Musa (AS) was born in a year when boys were supposed to be slaughtered. Musa's (AS) mother discreetly cared for him to protect him, but as danger approached, she threw him adrift in the Nile and instructed her daughter to follow him. Musa (AS) was discovered on the riverbed by the Pharoah's wife and adopted. Musa (AS) refused to breastfeed from any of the wet nurses until his sister emerged and said she knew someone who would suckle from him and introduced him to his mother. Musa (AS) endured numerous challenges as he grew up, particularly from the Pharoah, who regarded him as a threat and attempted to have him slain several times. Musa (AS) and the Israelites arrived at the Nile in one occasion, and God (SWT) commanded Musa (AS) to strike the water, which he did. The river parted, allowing the Israelites to walk safely through, but the Pharoah and his army were unable to do so and died. Musa (AS) received the Torah sometime later. During the Mi'raj, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is claimed to have seen Musa (AS).

 Dawud (AS):

Muslims hold Prophet Dawud (AS) in great regard since he was not only chosen by Allah (SWT) to be a messenger, but he was also the king of Israel. Dawud (AS) is considered to have been a wise and knowledgeable man, but he is best recognized for his role in the slaying of Goliath, a giant. The Zabur are psalms that Dawud was given. They are similar to the psalms found in the Bible and are described in the Qur'an as having been revealed to Dawud. The Psalms are held in high regard and are considered a divine revelation, despite the fact that they have been perverted over time.

 Isa (AS):

Many people wonder if Jesus is a prophet in Islam, and the answer is yes, although he is referred to in the Qur'an as Isa (AS). The Qur'an mentions Isa (AS) 93 times, and it is believed that Allah (SWT) revealed the Gospel to Isa (AS) as a divine holy text. In Islam, Isa (AS) differs from Jesus in the Bible because he was a messenger of God (SWT) rather than a son of God. In addition, the Qur'an does not mention Isa (AS). Instead, he followed in the footsteps of previous prophets and set out to lead Israel's people down the correct road. The Injil is a book that Isa is said to have received. Over time, the meaning of this text has shifted. It instructs Muslims about the revelations that Muslims believe Allah gave to Isa.

 Muhammad (PBUH):

Because Muhammad (PBUH) is the last prophet of Islam, the majority of people will know who he is. Because Allah (SWT) revealed the Qur'an to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), he is widely recognized as the father of Islam, and many Islamic practices, such as observing Ramadan and doing Hajj, are carried out in the same manner as Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Over the course of 23 years, Allah (SWT) revealed his teachings to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) through the Angel Jibril, during which time he experienced tremendous persecution and violence in Mecca, forcing him to leave to Medina. After several years, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions were allowed to return to Mecca and pray in peace to Allah (SWT). The Hadith — the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) teachings – highly revered, second only to the Qur'an.
