Jesus is Allah’s slave and His
Messenger and His Word (Be! — and
he was) which He bestowed on Mary
and a Spirit created by Him, and that
Paradise is the truth, and Hell is the
truth, Allah will admit him into Paradise
with the deeds which he had done even
if those deeds were few.’ ’’
[ 3 ]Most of these prophets are unknown
today since the Koran confines itself
almost completely to mentioning
Biblical prophets only. Yet it says that
Allah sent ‘‘messengers We have
mentioned to you before and
messengers We have not mentioned to
you’’ (Sura4:164). Although the names,
nations, and eras of these prophets are
not mentioned in the Koran, belief in
them is required for Muslims.
