The Lineage of Six Prominent Prophets According to Islamic Tradition

In order to demonstrate that Islam regards all of these prophets highly, some instances where

Prophets Moses, Jesus and Muhammad have been mentioned in the Quran are highlighted in
the next section.

THE PROPHET MOSES (PEACE BE UPON HIM)

The Prophet Moses is the most mentioned prophet in the Quran. Details of his childhood,
[51]
his time living as the adopted child of the Pharaoh, his escape to Midian, and his encounter

with God and the revealing of His scripture are provided in the text. [52] In the Quran, God says:

“We narrate to you [O Muhammad!] parts of the story of Moses and Pharaoh in truth, for
people who believe.” (28:3, Translation from the Quran)

The Prophet Moses was born an Israelite in Egypt, during a time when all male Jewish children

were to be killed. To save him, his mother put Moses in a basket, and sent him down the river
with God’s promise that the child would be safe. A servant of the Pharaoh’s wife found Moses,

and he was adopted into the Pharaoh’s house. [53][54]
