The Muslims regard the Prophets as real, but they believe that the Jews have misunderstood the words of the Hebrew Bible. Some even believe the words of the Hebrew Bible were written down incorrectly.

One of the key differences between the Muslim view of the Hebrew prophets and the Jewish and Christian view of these people is that the prophets in Islam are sinless people who never erred in judgment. The Jews and Christians have numerous episodes in the Bible where the prophets commit sin or make errors (such as Lot's act of incest, Moses' initial refusal to speak to Pharaoh, and David's intentional murder of Uriah to get Bathsheba). Islam rejects all of these stories.

Hint on Answer Above Quran; Muslims holy book that reflects real God word revelations to prophet Muhammad; refers to som prophet sins or mistakes. However, these sins were before they are assigned by God as prophets. e.g. Quran says:

{And he (Moses) entered the city at a time of inattention by its people and found therein two men fighting: one from his faction and one from among his enemy. And the one from his faction called for help to him against the one from his enemy, so Moses struck him and [unintentionally] killed him. [Moses] said, "This is from the work of Satan. Indeed, he is a manifest, misleading enemy. He said, "My Lord, indeed I have wronged myself, so forgive me," and He forgave him. Indeed, He is the Forgiving, the Merciful. He said, "My Lord, for the favor You bestowed upon me, I will never be an assistant to the criminals. And he became inside the city fearful and anticipating [exposure], when suddenly the one who sought his help the previous day cried out to him [once again]. Moses said to him, "Indeed, you are an evident, [persistent] deviator.".And he became inside the city fearful and anticipating [exposure], when suddenly the one who sought his help the previous day cried out to him [once again]. Moses said to him, "Indeed, you are an evident, [persistent] deviator."} (Quran, 28: 15-19)
