What is the difference between a Prophet (Nabi) and a Messenger (Rasul), citing verse (213) from Surat Al-Baqarah?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The People of the Book differed concerning the laws and rulings that came to them due to envy and transgression. However, Allah guided the nation of Muhammad to the truth about which the People of the Book differed. This includes the pure monotheism of Allah, faith in Jesus as a servant and messenger of Allah, guidance to the day of Friday, and the of Abraham. Allah alone guides whom He wills to His straight path.
