Iman e Ahle Sunnat

  Prophets and Messengers Just as it is necessary to know about the Being and Attributes of Allah Almighty, it is also essential to know what characteristics a Prophet must possess and what is impossible for him—so that one may be protected from disbelief. Meaning of "Rasool" (Messenger) The word "Rasool" means the one who brings Allah’s message from Him to His servants. Who is a Prophet? A Prophet is a man who receives divine revelation (Wahi) to guide people towards the path of Allah. This message may be delivered through an angel or directly by divine inspiration. Many Prophets and many angels have been Messengers. All Prophets were men — there has never been a Prophet from among the Jinn or women.
