The biblical prophets rarely profited from their own foreknowledge.
Most religions believe in some form of ancient prophets. Judaism and Christianity have the prophets of the Old Testament. Islam adds Mohammad to the list of ancient prophets. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" Church) believes in the Biblical prophets as well as modern-day prophets. They believe that the leader of their church is the prophet of God.
Islam has more or less re-apportioned Jewish and Christian prophets as Islamic prophets and argues that all of these prophets are part of a larger Islamic prophetic tradition. As a result, most of these prophets are highly regarded, but their message in the Qur'anic narrative may be different from that in the Biblical narrative.
The (Biblical) saying has it that 'a prophet is honored everywhere except in his home town'. That doesn't mean that people who are NOT prophets, automatically do get respect. They will have to earn it, just like us.
What you are describing is called Biblical Judaism.
Jews consider Moses the greatest of the prophets, but Jews also consider many others to have been prophets. Noah, Abraham, Aaron and Miriam, for example, have prophetic stature because each of them is supposed to have spoken directly with God. The later biblical prophets like Ezekiel and Isaiah are definitely also considered prophets by the Jews.

Two biblical figures who preceded Muhammad and are recognized as prophets in Islam are Abraham (Ibrahim) and Moses (Musa). Abraham is considered a patriarch and is revered for his role in establishing monotheism, while Moses is celebrated for leading the Israelites and receiving the Torah. Both figures are highly esteemed in Islamic tradition and are mentioned frequently in the Quran.
There are a lot more than just 3 prophets! The Bible is full of them - Old Testament and New! But 3 examples of very famous prophets are Samuel, Daniel (also known as Daniel in the lion's den) and Abraham (Father of Isaac).
