Angels
In Islam, angels are considered important messengers.
For example, the angel Jibra’il
showed himself to Muhammad in
order to reveal the words of Allah.
These are recorded in the Qur’an.
Muslims also believe that angels:
are created from light
do not take human form
rarely show themselves
are present at all times,
especially during prayers.
Why do you think angels are important to Muslims?

Messengers
The Messengers of God, also known as prophets, are
believed by Muslims to pass on the words of Allah.
They were men of integrity and purity, who were sent by
Allah to spread His teachings and generate followers.
Muslims believe Islam began with the first prophet: Adam.
Muhammad was the last prophet
sent by Allah. He was called the
Seal of the Prophets because he
brought the final and perfect
message from Allah. This simply
confirmed the previous messages.
Why do you think Allah sent more than one prophet?

What do the prophets show?
Each of the prophets received messages from Allah and
had specific work to accomplish.
Muslims believe these messages
show a number of things about Allah:
He cares about His creation
enough to send a warning voice.
He does not leave the world
without knowledge of Him.
He wants people to be happy
as they submit to His will.
Muslims believe the fact that the prophets received
Allah’s messages proves that He exists.
