How many prophets are still alive, and what are their names?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
All prophets have died, except for Jesus, peace be upon him. Allah raised him alive, and he will descend to the earth, then die, and Muslims will pray over him. This is based on the Almighty's saying: "And [for] their saying, 'Indeed, we have killed the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.' And they did not kill him, nor did they crucify him; but [another] was made to resemble him to them. And indeed, those who differ over it are in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it except the pursuit of assumption; and they did not kill him for certain."
