- Who is a Prophet

1)  A Prophet is the person who received the Wahi (revelation) meaning a message from Allah (The Exalted) for the guidance of mankind to show people the path to the Lord. Whether this message came via angels to the Prophet or whether the knowledge was given direct to the Prophet from the Lord.

2)  Many Prophets and many angels are Messengers (Rasools).

3)  All Prophets were male, nor has a Jinn ever been a Prophet nor has there been a female Prophet.

4)  One cannot be a Prophet due to worship or perseverance, but become a Prophet due to Allah (The Exalted's) will, and therefore a person's effort does not make them favorable. Hence, Allah (The Exalted) makes only them a Prophet who He deems fit and are born like so, and always stay away from sin even before becoming a Prophet and also are always attracted to good.

5) There is never an aspect in a Prophet that people would hate.
