Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
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.
