In a narration of Imam Ahmad, Abu Dharr asked Prophet Muhammad, "O
Messenger of Allah, how many are the prophets?" He replied,
"120,000 and between their number are 315 messengers." The Holy
Quran mentions twenty-five of these messengers, namely: Adam, Noah,
Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, David, Solomon, Job, Joseph, Moses,
Aaron, Zacharia, John (the Baptist), Idris (Enoch), Jonah, Hud,
Shuayb, Salih, Lot, Ilyas, Ilyasa, Dhu 'l-Kifl, Jesus and Sayyidina
Muhammad, peace be upon them all. These are the messengers of God
who came with holy books containing the Divine Message. The others
are prophets who received divine revelation but who were not
ordered to deliver it to anyone; it was for them. By way of
example, all of Jacob's sons were prophets, but Joseph was the only
messenger from among them. Laboriously compiled from rare
manuscripts, traditional Islamic texts, and other printed source
material, including ahadith and athar and the many traditional
books of history, and painstakingly translated from Ottoman Turkish
to English, Lore of Light depicts the perfected, blessed character
and refined manners that God bestowed on His blessed prophets and
messengers. This illustrious work examines the lives of the
prophets and messengers of God in great detail, heretofore unknown
in English literature on their lives. It depicts the great lengths
to which these holy figures went - at times losing life, suffering
humiliation, torment and abuse from those who opposed them, often
leaving their homes, always tolerant of their attackers and seeking
peace - to guide the many peoples and nations of the world towards
the light which God has sent throughout time for humankind's
betterment andupliftment.
