Messengers of Allah and Risalah

Messengers of Allah and risalah are means prophet hood or messenger ship. The Prophets and Messengers of Allah are chosen from people. Allah sent His guidance to them through the Angel Jibreel (as). Allah sent Prophets and Messengers to all the nations in this world. They all got the same message from Allah.
They told us to worship and obey Allah only. If we worship and obey Allah, Allah will be pleased with us. He will create our lives happy. He will also reward us with paradise in the life after death.
A Prophet is called Nabi in Arabic and a Messenger is called a Rasul.  A Messenger was a prophet who had also been given a holy book. The first Prophet was Adam (as). Prophet Adam (as) was also the first human being that Allah had created. The last and final Prophet was Muhammad (saw). There will be no Prophet after Him.
Some other Prophets apart from Adam (as) and Muhammad (saw) are mentioned in the Quran. They are:
  1. Yaqub (as)
  2. Ismaeel (as)
  3. Musa (as)
  4. Lut (as)

Risalah: Allah has not left man without guidance for the conduct of his life. Since the creation of the first man, Allah has revealed his direction to mankind through his prophets. In Arabic prophets are known as Nabi’s. Prophets who received book from Allah are called messengers. In Arabic a messenger is a Rasul. All the prophets and messengers came with the similar message: they urged the people of their occasion to obey and worship Allah alone and none other. There were only four messenger, they are Musa (as), Dawood (as), Isa (as) and Muhammad (saw). The chain of risalah began with Adam (as) and ended with Muhammad (saw).
Muhammad (saw) is the final and last Messenger of Allah to mankind and because of that we follow this Messengers of Allah and Risalah.
