'''Prophets''' (Arabic: {{ia|الأنبیاء}}) are elite people selected by God who enjoyed the [[Knowledge of the Hidden]] and were in charge of guiding other people. Only 25 prophets are mentioned in the [[Qur'an]], but according to [[hadith]]s, there were 124000 prophets, the first of whom was [[Adam (a)]] and the last of whom was [[Muhammad (s)]], the prophet of [[Islam]]. All the prophets were [[Infallible]], and they propagated common ideas. They had different rankings, and some of them held the position of [[imamate]] in addition to [[prophethood]]. Every prophet had his own successor, and the [[Twelve Imams (a)]] are the successors of the [[Prophet Muhammad (s)|last prophet]]. | '''Prophets''' (Arabic: {{ia|الأنبیاء}}) are elite people selected by God who enjoyed the [[Knowledge of the Hidden]] and were in charge of guiding other people.
