[edit] Rashad Kahlifa

This good article is ruined by this random section. I think it should be removed, regards.

I've deleted the Rashad Kahlifa bits. It was under "Other Possible Prophets" section, but was referred to in the article as "False Prophet according to Islamic Faith".

[edit] Messenger not Prophet

Have you ever seen that Messenger is not same as Prophet? Do you know that Mohammed is not prophet but he is Messenger of All-llah. (Puntori 16:00, 12 February 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Huzlah Ibn Safwan

Ibn jarir stated that the dwellers of Ar Rass were the people of one of Thamud's villages. Allah sent a prophet to them called Huzlah Ibn Safwan. They denied and killed him, so Allah destroyed them.

why is he not on the list

[edit] Resolute

I found a reference for "the Resolute" and am suggesting another spelling. I'm trying to find out how many messengers there are. Is it three? That seems like an important number. Jonathan Tweet 00:54, 12 March 2007 (UTC) I marked some of these statements as needing citations. I can't readily find a clean, generally accepted definition of rasul and nabi.

Unlike Judaism and Christianity, Islam distinguish between a "rasul" (messenger) and a "nabi" (prophet). Both are "divinely inspired" recipients of God's revelation. However, messengers are given a message for a community in book form[citation needed] and, unlike prophets, are assured success by God[citation needed]. While all messengers are prophets, not all prophets are messengers (see also Itmam al-hujjah).[1][2][3]
