Q: Allah says in His Holy Book: “And We sent not before you any messenger except that We revealed to him that there is no deity except Me, so worship Me" Surah Al Anbiya (21:25).What is the difference between a prophet and a messenger?
A: A messenger is the one sent by Allah; he has a message to deliver to the people. However, a prophet is one who receives revelation from God. Accordingly, every messenger is a prophet, but not every prophet is a messenger.
