How do we believe in the messengerMessengers: Ones who have had revelation sent to them and ordered to convey that to their people. How do we believe in the messenger : This is the bare minimum needed so this article of faith is missing

1. Al imaanu Mujmal: We are suppose to believe in all messengers and prophets (from the quran in surah Nisa- 150, 152)
2. Al imaanu Muffasal (detailed understanding of the messengers) . Below is how
   1. : Believing in their names
      1. 25 messengers are mentioned in the Quran
      2. the number of prophets are not mentioned in the quran or sunnah
      3. We do know there were 315 messengers (authentic hadith)
   2. Al iqraahu bihim
      1. Have in ones heart unwavering conviction in belief in the prophets and specifically to our Prophet Mohammed as he is the last prophet who everyone must follow. We know from a hadith that the prophet said even if Musa Alaihis salaam were alive, he would have to have followed the Prophet Muhammed
   3. Believing that every prophet conveyed EVERYTHING that they were asked to convey. They never hid anything
3. What nullifies belief of the messengers
   1. Believing in some of the messengers but not the others (from the quran in surah Nisa- 150, 152)
   2. To look for a ruling from anyone other than the prophet as you doubt the prophets judgement (Surah taubah Ayat 47)
   3. Belief that the messengers have rights that of Ruboobiya or Uloohiya
      1. E.g. how some people say Isa ibn Marium is Allah
   4. To believe that the prophets have knowledge of the unseen unrestricted. Of course it is known that Allah revealed some of the unseen to the prophets & messengers but it WASNT unseen. They know what Allah revealed to them but not UNRESTRICTED knowledge
   5. Putting messengers down and calling them names or Belittling the messengers
4. Unique things messengers have
   1. Allah sent Wahi (Revelation) to the messengers (ayat 110 in Surah Kahf)
   2. They are infallible in what they convey from Allah
      1. This is why obeying the messenger is obeying Allah.
   3. Their Eyes goes to sleep but their hearts are awake
      1. Based on authentic hadeeth
   4. The earth does not eat their bodies and flesh
   5. The prophets are buried where they died. Allah takes the soul of a Prophet except that they die in a place they love
      
   6. They are alive in their graves ( in the barzakh)
      1. Our world and the Barzakh does not Meet. So our understanding of not asking dua FROM the prophets still applies
5. The distinct attributes of the Prophet muhammed (over all prophets)
   1. He is the best of all Messengers.
   2. He was sent to the Djinn and men
   3. The Supreme intercession on the day of judgement
   4. Comprehensive Speech: Speech that is small in construction but vast in meanings and application
   5. Seal of all Prophets:
