Prophecy (Shia Islam)
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. In Islam, prophecy (Arabic: نبوة, nubuwwah) is the principle that God has appointed perfect prophets and messengers to teach humanity religion.[1] This is one of the five principles of the Twelver Roots of Religion.
Twelver theology
In the Quran, both "prophet" (نبي, nabī) and "messenger" (رسول, rasūl) is used to refer to those who prophesise.[2]
There is differences between a prophet and a messenger. The Twelver scholar Sa'id Akhtar Rizvi stated that a "messenger" (rasūl) brings a new religious law, while those who don't are called a "prophet" (nabī).[3]
