What is the authenticity of the circulated titles of the prophets, such as: "Adam Safiyullah (Elect of God)," "Idris Nabiyyullah (Prophet of God)," "Noah Najiyyullah (Survivor of God)," "Hud Amirullah (Architect of God)," "Salih Qaribullah (Intimate of God)," "Abraham Khalilullah (Intimate Friend of God)," "Lot Salimullah (Sound of God)," " "Ishmael Dhabihullah (Sacrifice of God)," "Isaac Hibatullah (Gift of God)," "Jacob Hazinullah (Mourner of God)," "Joseph Jamilullah (Beauty of God)," "Job Sabirullah (Patient of God)," "Shu'aib Nasihullah (Counselor of God)," "Moses Kalimullah (Speaker with God)," "David Khalifatullah (Viceroy of God)," "Solomon Tajullah (Crown of God)," "Dhul-Kifl Dhakiyyullah (Intelligent of God)," "Elias Hikmatullah (Wisdom of God)," "Elisha Dhakirullah (Rememberer of God)," "Jonah Sabihullah (Glorifier of God)," "Aziz Nasirullah (Helper of God)," "Luqman Tayyibullah (Good of God)," "Dhul-Qarnayn Jahidullah (Striver of God)," "Zachariah Warithullah (Heir of God)," "John Khashi'ullah (Humble of God)," "Jesus Ruhullah (Spirit of God)," and "Muhammad Habibullah (Beloved of God)"?
Some names are fixed for the prophets, such as: Abraham, the Intimate Friend of Allah; Moses, the one to whom Allah spoke directly; Jesus, the Spirit of Allah; Idris, the Prophet of Allah; Muhammad, the Beloved of Allah; and Adam, the Chosen of Allah.
Meanings are also established for some prophets, such as Job's patience, Joseph's beauty, Isaac as a gift from Allah, Ishmael as the sacrificial one, and Jacob's sorrow.
Attributing these meanings to Allah requires religious and linguistic proof. "Sorrowful Allah" is not religiously appropriate because evil is not attributed to Allah. And "Beautiful Allah" and "Patient Allah" are not linguistically appropriate.
