A Prophet ﷺ is the person to whom
divine revelation from Allah, Most Exalted, is bestowed for the guidance of
mankind, such a person is also called an apostle of messenger of Allah , Most
Exalted.
All the prophets sent by Almighty
Allah ﷻ were human beings and men. No woman was ever accorded the status of a
prophet. It was not obligatory for Almighty Allah , to send his prophets,
Nevertheless , out of his extreme kindness. He sent the prophets for the guidance
of mankind. A Prophet must receive Wahi or Divine Revelation whether it is
bestowed upon him through Angels or through any other means.
