Were Arab prophets sent before our Master Muhammad (peace be upon him), such as our Master Salih, and were they mentioned in the Holy Qur'an?
The Prophet of Allah, Muhammad (peace be upon him), is the Seal of the Prophets and Messengers. Allah sent him as a mercy to all creation, both humans and jinn, Arabs and non-Arabs. Allah Almighty says: "And We have not sent you except comprehensively to all mankind," and He also says: "Say, 'O mankind, indeed I am the Messenger of Allah to you all.'" In the Two Sahihs, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Every prophet was sent specifically to his own people, but I was sent to all people." Thus, Muhammad (peace be upon him) was not sent to the Arabs alone. Allah has mentioned that a number of prophets were Arabs and were sent to them, such as Salih, Hud, Shu'ayb, and Isma'il (peace be upon them).
