Notes
1- The list above contains the chronological order of the twenty men who were given the title "prophet" (nabi), or who were granted "prophethood" (nubuwwah), in the Quran.
2- Contrary to some claims, Adam (2:31) was neither called a prophet nor a messenger (rasool) in the Quran.
2- Other names, such as Saleh (7:73), Hud (7:65) and Shu'aib (7:85) were called messengers (rasool) in the Quran but were not called prophets.
3- Other men, such as Luqman (31:12), Zal-Kifl (38:48), were neither called prophets nor messengers in the Quran.
4- The Sura and verse numbers above are the verses in which either of the terms "prophet" or "prophethood" were assigned.
5- The names of all twenty prophets mentioned above are given in the Quran. However, while as the Quran provides specific sequences of some of the prophets, such as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Jospeh who followed in that order, the Quran does not provide the full chronological order of all 20 prophets. The order suggested above is the commonly agreed upon order.
