Which prophet is mentioned most frequently in the Qur’an, how many times is he mentioned, and what is the reason for his frequent mention?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The prophet most frequently mentioned by name in the Qur'an is Moses (peace be upon him), with his name appearing 136 times. This is perhaps due to the Qur'an's detailed recounting of his life, from his childhood and his struggles with Pharaoh and his people, the Children of Israel, to the detailed account of his call to the disbelievers and the deviant.
