Difference between Prophet and Messenger

Difference between Prophets and Messengers

1) There is this 'believe' based on Followers of Assumptions that A Prophet is not A Messenger or Rasul and all Rasul (Messengers) are Prophets.

2) Those are INDUCED Opinion.

3) These are the TRUTH from the Book of Revelation - with 100% truth, CANNOT BE REFUTED :

a) A Prophet is a Human and he MUST be A MESSENGER because he receives Book of Revelation from Allah for the pupose to Convey the Messages of Allah. Allah does not REVEAL HIS WORDS to Prophet for his own to keep - for what ? The only reason is to BALAGHUL MUBIN - CONVEY CLEARLY to other people :

Al-Baqara : 213

كَانَ النَّاسُ أُمَّةً وٰحِدَةً فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ النَّبِيِّۦنَ مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ وَأَنزَلَ مَعَهُمُ الْكِتٰبَ بِالْحَقِّ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فِيمَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ ۚ وَمَا اخْتَلَفَ فِيهِ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ أُوتُوهُ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْهُمُ الْبَيِّنٰتُ بَغْيًۢا بَيْنَهُمْ ۖ فَهَدَى اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا لِمَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ بِإِذْنِهِۦ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ إِلٰى صِرٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ

● Mankind was [of] one religion [before their deviation]; then Allah sent the PROPHETS (NABIY) as BRINGERS / BEARERS of GLAD TIDINGS (MUBASYIRIN) AND WARNERS (MUNZIRIN) and sent down with them the SCRIPTURE / BOOKN(AL-KITAB) in truth to judge between the people concerning that in which they differed. .. ●

Al-Maaida : 92

وَأَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَاحْذَرُوا ۚ فَإِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ فَاعْلَمُوٓا أَنَّمَا عَلٰى رَسُولِنَا الْبَلٰغُ الْمُبِينُ

● And obey Allah and obey the Messenger and beware. And if you turn away - then know that upon Our Messenger is only to CONVEY CLEARLY (BALAGHUL MUBIN). ●


b) A Messenger is not necessarily human. Angels are also MESSENGERS :

Al-Hajj : 75

اللَّهُ يَصْطَفِى مِنَ الْمَلٰٓئِكَةِ رُسُلًا وَمِنَ النَّاسِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَمِيعٌۢ بَصِيرٌ

● Allah chooses from the ANGELS, MESSENGERS  and [also] from the PEOPLE / / HUMAN (AN-NAS). Indeed, Allah is Hearing and Seeing. ●

At-Takwir : 19

إِنَّهُۥ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ

● Indeed, the Qur'an is a word [conveyed by] a NOBLE MESSENGER (RASULIN KARIM = GABRIEL = JIBRIL). ●

c) A PROPHET by definition is a person who are the BEARER or BRINGER of Glad Tidings and Warner (AN-NABA = News / Announcement) and receives BOOK of REVELATION from Allah :

Al-Baqara : 213

كَانَ النَّاسُ أُمَّةً وٰحِدَةً فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ النَّبِيِّۦنَ مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنذِرِينَ وَأَنزَلَ مَعَهُمُ الْكِتٰبَ بِالْحَقِّ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فِيمَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ ۚ وَمَا اخْتَلَفَ فِيهِ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ أُوتُوهُ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْهُمُ الْبَيِّنٰتُ بَغْيًۢا بَيْنَهُمْ ۖ فَهَدَى اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا لِمَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِيهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ بِإِذْنِهِۦ ۗ وَاللَّهُ يَهْدِى مَن يَشَآءُ إِلٰى صِرٰطٍ مُّسْتَقِيمٍ

● Mankind was [of] one religion [before their deviation]; then Allah sent the PROPHETS (NABIY) as BRINGERS / BEARERS of GLAD TIDINGS AND WARNERS and sent down with them the SCRIPTURE / BOOKN(AL-KITAB) in truth to judge between the people concerning that in which they differed. .. ●

Aal-i-Imraan : 81

وَإِذْ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ مِيثٰقَ النَّبِيِّۦنَ لَمَآ ءَاتَيْتُكُم مِّن كِتٰبٍ وَحِكْمَةٍ ثُمَّ جَآءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مُّصَدِّقٌ لِّمَا مَعَكُمْ لَتُؤْمِنُنَّ بِهِۦ وَلَتَنصُرُنَّهُۥ ۚ قَالَ ءَأَقْرَرْتُمْ وَأَخَذْتُمْ عَلٰى ذٰلِكُمْ إِصْرِى ۖ قَالُوٓا أَقْرَرْنَا ۚ قَالَ فَاشْهَدُوا وَأَنَا۠ مَعَكُم مِّنَ الشّٰهِدِينَ

● And, when Allah took the covenant of the PROPHETS (NABIYYIN), [saying], "Whatever I give you of the SCRIPTURE / BOOK (AL-KITAB) and wisdom (AL-HIKMAH), and then there comes to you a MESSENGER confirming what is with you, you [must] believe in him and support him." [Allah] said, "Have you acknowledged and taken upon that My commitment?" They said, "We have acknowledged it." He said, "Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses." ●

Sometimes A Prophet is to help (WAZIR) to another Messenger and Prophet (example Prophet and Messenger Harun and Musa PBUH) :

Maryam : 51

وَاذْكُرْ فِى الْكِتٰبِ مُوسٰىٓ ۚ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ مُخْلَصًا وَكَانَ رَسُولًا نَّبِيًّا

● And mention in the Book, MOSES (MUSA). Indeed, he was chosen, and he was a MESSENGER and A PROPHET (RASULAN NABIYYA). ●

Maryam : 53

وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُۥ مِن رَّحْمَتِنَآ أَخَاهُ هٰرُونَ نَبِيًّا

● And We gave him out of Our mercy his brother AARON (HARUN), as a PROPHET (NABIYYA). ●

Al-Furqaan : 35

وَلَقَدْ ءَاتَيْنَا مُوسَى الْكِتٰبَ وَجَعَلْنَا مَعَهُۥٓ أَخَاهُ هٰرُونَ وَزِيرًا

● And We had certainly given Moses the Scripture and appointed with him his brother Aaron as an ASSISTANT (WAZIR). ●

d) A Prophet is A Messenger as Well :

Al-Ahzaab : 45

يٰٓأَيُّهَا النَّبِىُّ إِنَّآ أَرْسَلْنٰكَ شٰهِدًا وَمُبَشِّرًا وَنَذِيرًا

● O Prophet, indeed We HAVE SENT YOU (ARSALNAKA) as a witness and a bringer of good tidings (MUBASYIRAN) and a warner. ●

ARSAL is from root word RASUL means Messenger.

e) A Prophet must be a Man :

An-Nahl : 43

وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ إِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوحِىٓ إِلَيْهِمْ ۚ فَسْـَٔلُوٓا أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

● And We sent (ARSALNA) not before you except MEN (RIJAL) to whom We INSPIRED (NUHI) [Our message]. So ask the people of the message if you do not know. ●

4) From Al-Baqarah:213, Al-Ahzab:45, An-Nahl:43 - Prophet is MUBASYIRIN - the root word is BASYAR - which is a Physical Human and a Man (RIJAL).

5) Based on the Deduction from verses of Allah, without INDUCING any opinion :

a) Not ALL MESSENGERS are PROPHETS; because some Messengers are Angels.

b) All Prophets must be MESSENGERS of Allah. All Prophets must be a Human and a Man.
