Kharijite Sixth Pillar of Islam.

In Islam, a Messenger (Arabic: رسولrasūl, plural رسل rusul) is a prophet sent by God with a shariah "Divine Law" (see distinction between Prophets and Messengers).

In Christianity, the Greek term angelos "messenger" is used to refer to supernatural beings sent by God. However, Islam does not consider Messengers to be supernatural beings and employs a separate term for "angels" (Arabic: ملائكةmalā’ikah).

The Messengers

According to the Qur'an, God has sent many prophets to mankind. Twenty-five are mentioned by name in the Qur'an, but according to the hadiths there have been over 124,000 prophets in total sent to all portions of the Earth to preach and spread the message of Islam.

Of these, the Qur'an names twelve as Messengers, the five mightiest ones being Nuh (Noah), Ibrahim, Musa, Isa and Muhammad.[1]
