What is the meaning of the epithets of the prophets: Shu'ayb - Nasiḥ Allah (Advisor of God) -, and Harun - Mu'in Allah (Helper of God) -, and Sulayman - Taj Allah (Crown of God) -, and Zakariya - Warith Allah (Inheritor of God) -, and 'Aziz - Nasir Allah (Helper of God) -, and is 'Aziz a prophet?
The mentioned titles for each prophet are unknown and have not been revealed, and some of them are not Islamically valid. Attention should be directed towards beneficial religious and worldly knowledge. Belief in the prophets is required generally, and in those mentioned in the Quran specifically, their number being twenty-five. Uzayr was mentioned in the stories of the prophets as Uzayr ibn Jarwah or ibn Sūriq. He was among those captured by Nebuchadnezzar when he was a boy, and Allah granted him wisdom. He is mentioned in the Holy Quran in the Almighty’s saying: "And the Jews say, ‘Ezra is the son of Allah’" (Surah At-Tawbah: 30), and in His Almighty’s saying: "Or [consider] the one who passed by a town while it had fallen into ruin upon its roofs" (Surah Al-Baqarah: 259). It is said that his tomb is located in Damascus.
