In Islam, Prophets (anbiyaa) were people who were contacted by the Divine and given instructions to guide people in/to the faith which already existed. For example many anbiyaa were sent to the Israelites after Moses to guide them upon the straight path and to help the follow the laws and tecahings of the Torah and the religion of Moses. Messengers (Rusul) were also prophets, but they were different in that they were given new scriptures and new laws such as Moses was given the Torah, Jesus was given the Gospel, Muhammad was given the Quran etc. All Anbiya were prophets, but not all prophets were ambiya.

What is the difference between a prophet and a messenger of god?

No difference. Prophets are also called messengers. Often those who make the words distinct say that a messenger brings down a Holy Book, such as the Taurat, Injil, Qur'an, etc. whereas a prophet only brings down a Divine Message. However, the distinction is not strict. There are 1,24,000 Prophets (May peace be upon them all). They are all called Nabi, Messengers. Out of them 350 are called Rasool- Those to whom heavenly Books were revealed. They brought a new Shari'a. The on-coming Messengers or Anmbia propagated their Sharia. When a Rasool (AS) came there used to be certain changes in the Sharia, yet the Basic teachings-Oneness of Almighty Allah, Angels, Life Hereafter, Good, Evil etc remained the same. Only the manner of worship, halal or Haram were a bit changed.
