who was the first messenger sent to mankind
Prophets and messengers in Islam Muslims believe that the first prophet was also the first human being, Adam (ادم), created by Allah (الله), The One and Only God who created everything in existence (رب لعالمين - translit. Rabilalameen) All Humans are descendants of Adam. Many of the revelations delivered by the 48 prophets in Judaism and many prophets of Christianity are mentioned as such in the Quran but usually in slightly different forms. For example, the Jewish Elisha is called Alyasa, Job is Ayyub, Jesus is Isa, etc. The Torah given to Moses (Musa) is called Tawrat, the Psalms given to David (Dawud) is the Zabur, the Gospel given to Jesus is Injil.[1] Notwithstanding, none of the seven Jewish Prophetesses are mentioned in the Quran as prophets.
