Imaan bil Anbiyaa’ war-Rusul - It is obligatory to believe in the Prophets and Messengers, that is to believe that indeed Allah , sent the Prophets and Messengers to his slaves, to warn, to give the glad tidings and to give Da’wah to the truth, so whoever responds to them will have happiness, and whoever opposes, and disobeys them has failure and regret, and believe the best of and last them is our Prophet Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Abdul Mutallib (saw) who was the descendant of Ibrahim from the lineage of Ismael (peace be upon them both), he (saw) came as the seal of all the Prophets and Messengers a Mercy for all Mankind, Allah says :

"And verily We have sent amongst every nation a Messenger (saying): Worship Allah (Alone), and avoid all false deities." al-Qur’an, Surah al-Nahl, 16: 36

Allah also says:

"Messengers as bearers of good news as well as of warning in order that mankind should have no plea against Allah after the Messengers. And Allah is indeed al¬mighty, wise." al-Qur’an, Surah al-Nisaa’, 4:165

And,

“Behold, We have inspired thee [O Prophet] just as We inspired Noah and all the prophets after him - as We inspired Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and their descendants, including Jesus and Job, and Jonah, and Aaron, and Solomon; and as We vouchsafed unto David a book of divine wisdom; and as [We inspired other] apostles whom We have mentioned to thee ere this, as well as apostles whom We have not mentioned to thee; and as Allah spoke His word unto Moses: [We sent all these] apostles as heralds of glad tidings and as warners, so that men might have no excuse before Allah after [the coming of] these apostles: and Allah is indeed al-mighty, wise.” al-Qur’an, Surah al-Nisaa’, 4:163-165

And,

“And, indeed, [O Muhammad,] We sent forth apostles before your time; some of them We have mentioned to thee, and some of them We have not mentioned to thee. And it was not given to any messenger to bring forth a miracle other than by Allah’ (swt) leave. Yet when Allah’ (swt) will becomes manifest, judgment will [already] have been passed in all justice, and lost will be, then and there, all who tried to reduce to nothing [whatever they could not understand].” al-Qur’an, Surah al-Ghafir, 40:78

We must believe in those Prophets and Messengers whom Allah has mentioned by name in the Qur’an, like Nuh, Hud, Salih and Ibrahim and others besides them. It is reported upon the authority of Omar bin al-Khattab (ra) that the Messenger Muhammad (saw) said in response to Jibreel’ (saw) question about Imaan, that it is:

“To believe in Allah, His Angels, His books, His Messengers, the Hereafter and that the Divine destiny of good and bad is with Allah.” Saheeh al-Bukhari, Kitaab ul-Imaan and Saheeh al-Muslim, Kitaab ul-Imaan
