Those to whom Allah sends message and chooses to preach His religion are called Nabi and Rasul (Prophet and Messenger). In order to guide people, Allah the Almighty has sent many Nabis and Rasuls into this earth.

The prophets and messengers are the most favorite human beings to Allah. They were without sin. They were also just and intelligent. They always did virtuous and good deeds. They did not do unfair and obscene activities. They possessed excellent character.

Prophets were the ideal teachers for the people. They did good to human being sincerely. Their goal was to spread the truth and establish justice. They have told and done everything by the command of Allah. They have never done anything for their own pleasure or self-interest. We believe, respect, and honor all the prophets and messengers.

Prophets and messengers used to acquire knowledge from Allah through revelation. Revelation (Wahi) means message of Allah.

To those whom Asmani Kitabs were revealed were the Rasul (Messenger). To those whom no Asmani Kitab was revealed were the Nabi (Prophet).
The first man and the first Nabi on this earth is the Hazrat Adam (A.). Allah, the Almighty created Hazrat Adam (A.) by Himself.

And the last and greatest Nabi is Hazrat Muhammad (SM). Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (SM) was born on 20^th April of 570 A.D & 12th Rabiul Awal, Monday in Quraish family of the holy city of Makkah. After the Farewell Hajj, he passed away on 12th Rabiul Awal of the 11^th Hizri and in 632 A.D in Madina.

He always did good deeds, spoke well, advised people to do good deeds. He used to help people in danger. He used to speak the truth always and to keep his promise. Everyone trusted him. That's why everyone used to call him 'Al-Amin'. ‘Al-Amin’ means the most trustworthy.

At the age of forty, Hazrat Muhammad (SM) became very worried. During this period, he used to remain in deep meditation in the thoughts of Allah in the cave of Hera of Jabal-e-Noor. At last, in a day of Ramadan, the Almighty Allah sent first five verses of surah Al-Alaq from Quran Majid to him through Hazrat Jibrael (A). This is the incident of attaining the prophethood of the great prophet (SM) at the age of forty.

After attaining prophethood, these messages of Allah were gradually revealed to the Prophet Muhammad (SM) over a period of twenty-three years. Some messages of Allah were revealed in Makkah and some in Medina.
