Today, I discuss briefly, each of the prominent prophets of Islam.
1. Hazrat Adam (Prophet Adam)
Hazrat Adam is recognized as the first human being and the first prophet in Islam. Created by Allah from clay, he was endowed with knowledge and placed in Paradise with his wife, Hawwa (Eve). They lived in bliss until they were tempted by Shaytan (Satan) to eat from the forbidden tree. Upon doing so, they realized their mistake and sought forgiveness. Allah forgave them but sent them to live on Earth, where they would face challenges and be tested. Adam’s story is one of creation, fall, and redemption, emphasizing the mercy and wisdom of Allah.
2. Hazrat Ilyas (Prophet Elijah)
Hazrat Ilyas, also known as Prophet Elijah, was a messenger of Allah sent to the people of bni-Israel to call them back to the worship of one God and to abandon idolatry. He is known for his confrontation with the idol-worshipping King Ahab and Queen Jezebel. Despite facing great opposition and danger, Hazrat Ilyas remained steadfast in preaching monotheism. His story is one of courage, commitment to faith, and divine support in the face of adversity.
