List of Prophets

Notes

  1. ^ a b c Druze entitle at least four prophets as el-Khudar ("the green one") in the belief that they all represented a reincarnating prophet. These prophets, in order, were Elijah, John the Baptist, Saint George, and Sidna Abu Ibrahim.
  2. ^ The Baháʼí Manifestation of God known as 'David' is not the same individual as King David - as is the case with the other religions listed here. This David, according to Báb, lived before Moses.

  2. ^ In Judaism and Islam the classification of some people as prophets includes those who are not explicitly called so in the Hebrew Bible or Quran. Judaism also uses religious texts other than the Hebrew Bible to define prophets. Moreover, Orthodox rabbis use different criteria for classifying someone as a prophet, e.g. Enoch is not considered a prophet in Judaism. The New Testament may call someone a prophet even though they are not so classified in the Hebrew Bible; for example, Abel, Daniel, and Enoch are described in the New Testament as prophets.
