Prophet

The triliteral root nūn bā hamza (ن ب أ) occurs in the Quran 160 times.

Nabi (Arab. نبي‎ - prophet, plural form: anbiyāʼ) - in the Quran - people chosen by God to transmit revelation ("the Book"). The term nabi is used in the Quran along with rasul ("messenger"). Among the prophets mentioned in the Quran: Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Solomon, Jesus, Muhammad, etc.

(2:136) Say, "We acknowledge God and what was sent down to us and what was sent down to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, the Patriarchs, what was given to Moses and Jesus, and what was given to the prophets (Arab. النَّبِيُّونَ, l-nabiyūna) from their Lord; we do not make a distinction between any of them and to Him we peacefully surrender."

(4:163) We have inspired you as We have inspired Noah and the prophets (Arab. وَالنَّبِيِّينَ, wal-nabiyīna) after him. We inspired Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and Jesus, and Job, and Jonah, and Aaron, and Solomon; and We have given David the Psalms.

God's covenant with prophets

(3:81) God took a covenant from the prophets (Arab. النَّبِيِّينَ, l-nabiyīna): "For what I have given you of the book and philosophy, then a messenger will come to you authenticating what is with you. You will acknowledge him and support him." He said, "Do you testify, and agree to this burden?" they said, "We testify." He said, "Then bear witness, and I am with you bearing witness."

Levels of prophethood

(17:55) Your Lord is fully aware of who is in the Universes and the earth. We have preferred some prophets (Arab. النَّبِيِّينَ, l-nabiyīna) over others, and We gave David psalms.

This prophet is closest to Abraham

(3:68) The closest people to Abraham are those who followed him, this prophet (Arab. النَّبِيُّ, l-nabiyu), and those who acknowledged; and God is the ally of those who acknowledge.

Prophets judged using the Torah

(5:44) We have sent down the Torah, in it is guidance and a light; the prophets (Arab. النَّبِيُّونَ, l-nabiyūna) who have peacefully surrendered judged with it for those who are Jews, as well as the Rabbis, and the Scholars, for what they were entrusted of God's book, and they were witness over it. So do not revere the people but revere Me; and do not purchase with My signs a cheap price. Whoever does not judge with what God has sent down, then these are the ingrates.
