Who are the major prophets of Christianity?
The major prophets are Samuel, Daniel, Isaiah. Jeremiah and Ezekiel.
Who was the first prophet and the last prophet?
The answer to this question depends entirely on the religion in question.
According to Judaism, the two answers are different. The Greatest Prophet was Moses. The Last Prophet was Malachi.
According to Christianity, there is much contention over who was the Greatest Prophet, between Moses, Isaiah, John the Baptist and others. John the Baptist, however, was certainly the Last Prophet in Christianity. (Jesus Christ is not a prophet since a prophet must be someone separate from God who receives visions from God. Since Jesus Christ is God, he cannot be also be a prophet.)
According to Islam, the Greatest Prophet and the Last Prophet are both Mohammed.
According to Baha'i, the Greatest Prophet and the Last Prophet are the Baha'ullah.

Where was prophet Yusuf buried?
The maqam of Musa is located about 24 km to the east of Jerusalem and 7 km southwest of Jericho in a desert.
Is the prophet Isaiah's death in the Bible?
Not directly and maybe not at all.
There is a tradition that states that Isaiah was executed by the wicked King Manasseh by sawing him in half (Manasseh was not a very nice man). We may note in this regard that Isaiah's prophecy ceases with Hezekiah and Manasseh succeeded him. (Isaiah 1:1 contains the list of Kings of Judah under which Isaiah prophesied) We also know that Manasseh 'shed innocent blood very much.' Most certainly this refers to the passing of living children into the outstretched arms of the idol Moloch. But it may also refer to the execution of people like Isaiah who was obviously innocent. If the tradition is accurate - and it is certainly possible from what we know of Manasseh plus the historical time-frame - then Hebrews 11:37 '....they were sawn asunder..' is a reference to this murderous crime.
If Hebrews 11:37 is not a reference to Isaiah then it is not mentioned. In any case the Bible itself does not, without recourse to tradition, mention it.
Does Christianity have prophets?
There are many prophets who are counted in both Christianity and Judaism. These are the prophets represented in Old Testament Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Joel, Obadiah, Amos, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi, Elisha and Elijah to mention few of the most famous. Most of them lived during the time when nation of Israel was divided into two kingdoms and their role was to call people to return back to the living God through repentance.
Apostle Paul mentions prophets as a part of New Testament church as well. he does not specify the role much, so we can possibly assume that their role is similar to the role in Old Testament - calling people of God to see the truth and return to God through repentance. These people are called to serve and equip the believers (Paul's letter to Ephesians chapter 4 verses 11-12 he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ.
What was the miracle of prophet nuh?
I am sorry but I can find no reference to a prophet Nuh, that is if you are referring to the word nuh as a prophet.
The full title of a Prophet is Prophet, Seer and Revelator. The word Prophet is more of a title than anything. What is important is that they have also the power of being able to see into the future i.e Seer, also Revelator in that they are able to recieve revelations from God regarding what man should be doing, also of what he is not doing.
When did nostradamus predict the end of the world?
3786 or 3797 depending on which Nostradamus "expert" you choose to believe.
Preaching methods of prophet saw?
However, during this period of preaching, the word got out about the prophet's message to the Makkans. Initially, the people were not too concerned about Muhammad (pbuh). Gradually they become concerned when they realised that the words of the prophet (pbuh) were having an effect on people. They would talk about this mission and the effects it would have on the Arabs and the religion of their fore fathers.
After three years of this preaching, the prophet (pbuh) was commanded by Allah to start preaching to his own clansmen. Muhammad (pbuh) collected together all his clansmen so that he could explain to them about Allah and about his mission. The invited audience was of about forty-five Makkans from his clansmen. This was the first encounter with Abu Lahab, who became the fiercest enemy of Islam.
The prophet (pbuh) collected the people and was about to speak to them but Abu Lahab spoke out first. He advised the Muhammad (pbuh) that he should immediately stop his mission. He said it was better for his people to follow the traditions of his forefathers than to face the rest of the Arabs. He said that the rest of the Arabs would destroy them. After Abu Lahab had finished attacking the prophet's mission, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) kept silent and said nothing in that meeting.
The Prophet (pbuh) invited them to another meeting and this time stood up and delivered a short speech explaining his mission:
He said: "I celebrate Allah's praise, I seek His help, I believe in Him, I put my trust in Him, I bear witness that there is no god to be worshipped but Allah with no associate. A guide can never lie to his people. I swear by Allah, there is no god but He, that I have been sent as a Messenger to you, in particular and to all the people, in general. I swear by Allah you will die just as you sleep, you will be resurrected just as you wake up. You will be called to account for your deeds. It is then either Hell forever or the Garden (Paradise) forever."
The Arabs at the time did not think that they would need to account for their actions; instead they would die and not be raised again. They believed in Allah but also believed that Allah had many partners. These partners were the idols who, they thought, shared power with Allah! They prayed to Allah but also prayed to these Idols. They were deeply misguided and away from the belief in one God.
It was during this meeting that Abu Talib said he would look after and defend the prophet (pbuh), even though Abu Talib himself did not accept the Muhammad's teachings or Islam. Abu Talib was sticking to the path of his fore fathers; he did not want to leave those traditions for something new.
Abu Lahab tried his best to dissuade Abu Talib from offering any support to Muhammad (pbuh). He was advising Abu Talib to do the opposite by stopping Muhammad (pbuh) and his mission rather than offering him protection. Abu Lahab threatened him by saying that it was Abu Talib's responsibility to stop Muhammad (pbuh) before someone else did.
The prophet Muhammad (PBUH) went to Safa and called the people together. This was a usual custom at the time when some major event or announcement was going to be made. The people gathered together and the prophet (pbuh) said:
'O people of Quraysh, if I was to tell you that an army was advancing to attack you from the other side of this mount will you believe me?'
The people knew the character of Muhammad (pbuh), after all they had given him the title of Al-Amin (the truthful). They had seen this gentle child grow up in this world and had seen how well he dealt with people, his honest character and his trustworthiness. They had no reason to doubt him, so they replied:
'Yes why not? We have always found you to be truthful'
The prophet (pbuh) looked at the people assembled before him and said " O banu Abdul Muttalib, O banu Abd Manaf, O Banu Zuhra! I have come to you as a Warner and if you do not respond to my warning, punishment will fall upon you. I have been sent by Allah to warn you and I can not protect you in this world, nor can I promise you anything in the next world, unless you acknowledge and submit to the worship of the one Allah"
There was silence and then Abu Lahab, one of the more powerful individuals and the prophets uncle, again responded "May you perish, did you call us to this?" the crowd then dispersed.
This was one of many incidents which Abu Lahab used his influence to ridicule and mock Islam. He became an open enemy of the prophet (pbuh) and Islam. He continued to be a hindrance and had a strong opposition to the prophet during his sacred mission.
A major turning point was when the prophet (pbuh) was commanded to openly preach Islam to the people. The Arabs realised the effect this message could have on Arabia. They were concerned that the words and verses being taught were from a source beyond this world. These verses of the Qu'ran were luring some people to Islam away from the traditional Arab way of life. The Arabs believed in a multitude of gods and Idols but were getting taught to worship only Allah. They were getting taught that Idol worship was wrong and evil.
Indeed the truth did stand out clear and anyone who was exposed to this message was affected. They knew that the message could only be from Allah, the creator and sustainer and that Muhammad (pbuh) was indeed the messenger of Allah.
They turned to Abu Talib and asked him to stop Muhammad (pbuh). They said "O Abu Talib! Your nephew curses our gods; finds faults with our way of life, mocks at our religion and degrades our forefathers; either you must stop him, or you must let us get at him." They explained that since they all followed the religion of their forefather, Abu Talib should let them get rid of Muhammad (pbuh)! Abu Talib tried his best to calm them down and make peace between them. The Prophet (pbuh) continued his mission by teaching, inviting to and practicing Islam.
There were only a few months until an important time for the Arabs - the pilgrimage to Makkah. They were worried that Muhammad (pbuh) might influence the pilgrims who were coming to worship these idols. They needed to stop Muhammad (pbuh) and do something to stop the spread of Islam. They decided to get together and join forces to stop the prophet and his message
Was prophet Noah related to prophet Adam?
Muslims do consider Noah a prophet. Surah [4.163] says " . . . Surely We have revealed to you as We revealed to Nuh, and the prophets after him . . ." In all there are around 45 mentions of Nuh (Noah) in the Qur'an. # [3.33] Surely Allah chose Adam and Nuh and the descendants of Ibrahim and the descendants of Imran above the nations. # [4.163] Surely We have revealed to you as We revealed to Nuh, and the prophets after him, and We revealed to Ibrahim and Ismail and Ishaq and Yaqoub and the tribes, and Isa and Ayub and Yunus and Haroun and Sulaiman and We gave to Dawood # [6.84] And We gave to him Ishaq and Yaqoub; each did We guide, and Nuh did We guide before, and of his descendants, Dawood and Sulaiman and Ayub and Yusuf and Haroun; and thus do We reward those who do good (to others). # [7.59] Certainly We sent Nuh to his people, so he said: O my people! serve Allah, you have no god other than Him; surely I fear for you the chastisement of a grievous day. # [7.69] What! do you wonder that a reminder has come to you from your Lord through a man from among you that he might warn you? And remember when He made you successors after Nuh's people and increased you in excellence in respect of make; therefore remember the benefits of Allah, that you may be successful. # [9.70] Has not the news of those before them come to them; of the people of Nuh and Ad and Samood, and the people of Ibrahim and the dwellers of Madyan and the overthrown cities; their apostles came to them with clear arguments; so it was not Allah Who should do them injustice, but they were unjust to themselves. # [10.71] And recite to them the story of Nuh when he said to his people: O my people! if my stay and my reminding (you) by the communications of Allah is hard on you-- yet on Allah do I rely-- then resolve upon your affair and (gather) your associates, then let not your affair remain dubious to you, then have it executed against me and give me no respite: # [11.25] And certainly We sent Nuh to his people: Surely I am a plain warner for you: # [11.32] They said: O Nuh! indeed you have disputed with us and lengthened dispute with us, therefore bring to us what you threaten us with, if you are of the truthful ones. # [11.36] And it was revealed to Nuh: That none of your people will believe except those who have already believed, therefore do not grieve at what they do: # [11.42] And it moved on with them amid waves like mountains; and Nuh called out to his son, and he was aloof: O my son! embark with us and be not with the unbelievers. # [11.43] He said: I will betake myself for refuge to a mountain that shall protect me from the water. Nuh said: There is no protector today from Allah's punishment but He Who has mercy; and a wave intervened between them, so he was of the drowned. # [11.45] And Nuhcried out to his Lord and said: My Lord! surely my son is of my family, and Thy promise is surely true, and Thou art the most just of the judges. # [11.46] He said: O Nuh! surely he is not of your family; surely he is (the doer of) other than good deeds, therefore ask not of Me that of which you have no knowledge; surely I admonish you lest you may be of the ignorant # [11.48] It was said: O Nuh! descend with peace from Us and blessings on you and on the people from among those who are with you, and there shall be nations whom We will afford provisions, then a painful punishment from Us shall afflict them. # [11.89] And, O my people! let not opposition to me make you guilty so that there may befall you the like of what befell the people of Nuh, or the people of Hud, or the people of Salih, nor are the people of Lut far off from you; # [14.9] Has not the account reached you of those before you, of the people of Nuh and Ad and Samood, and those after them? None knows them but Allah. Their apostles come to them with clear arguments, but they thrust their hands into their mouths and said: Surely we deny that with which you are sent, and most surely we are in serious doubt as to that to which you invite us. # [17.3] The offspring of those whom We bore with Nuh; surely he was a grateful servant. # [17.17] And how many of the generations did We destroy after Nuh! and your Lord is sufficient as Knowing and Seeing with regard to His servants' faults. # [19.58] These are they on whom Allah bestowed favors, from among the prophets of the seed of Adam, and of those whom We carried with Nuh, and of the seed of Ibrahim and Israel, and of those whom We guided and chose; when the communications of the Beneficent God were recited to them, they fell down making obeisance and weeping. # [21.76] And Nuh, when he cried aforetime, so We answered him, and delivered him and his followers from the great calamity. # [22.42] And if they reject you, then already before you did the people of Nuhand Ad and Samood reject (prophets). # [23.23] And certainly We sent Nuh to his people, and he said: O my people! serve Allah, you have no god other than Him; will you not then guard (against evil)? # [25.37] And the people of Nuh, when they rejected the apostles, We drowned them, and made them a sign for men, and We have prepared a painful punishment for the unjust; # [26.105] The people of Nuh rejected the apostles. # [26.106] When their brother Nuh said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)? # [26.116] They said: If you desist not, O Nuh, you shall most certainly be of those stoned to death. # [29.14] And certainly We sent Nuhto his people, so he remained among them a thousand years save fifty years. And the deluge overtook them, while they were unjust. # [33.7] And when We made a covenant with the prophets and with you, and with Nuh and Ibrahim and Musa and Isa, son of Marium, and We made with them a strong covenant # [37.75] And Nuh did certainly call upon Us, and most excellent answerer of prayer are We. # [37.79] Peace and salutation to Nuh among the nations. # [38.12] The people of Nuh and Ad, and Firon, the lord of spikes, rejected (apostles) before them. # [40.5] The people of Nuhand the parties after them rejected (prophets) before them, and every nation purposed against their apostle to destroy him, and they disputed by means of the falsehood that they might thereby render null the truth, therefore I destroyed them; how was then My retribution! # [40.31] The like of what befell the people of Nuh and Ad and Samood and those after them, and Allah does not desire injustice for (His) servants; # [42.13] He has made plain to you of the religion what He enjoined upon Nuhand that which We have revealed to you and that which We enjoined upon Ibrahim and Musa and Isa that keep to obedience and be not divided therein; hard to the unbelievers is that which you call them to; Allah chooses for Himself whom He pleases, and guides to Himself him who turns (to Him), frequently. # [50.12] (Others) before them rejected (prophets): the people of Nuhand the dwellers of Ar-Rass and Samood, # [51.46] And the people of Nuh before, surely they were a transgressing people. # [53.52] And the people of Nuh before; surely they were most unjust and inordinate; # [54.9] Before them the people of Nuh rejected, so they rejected Our servant and called (him) mad, and he was driven away. # [57.26] And certainly We sent Nuh and Ibrahim and We gave to their offspring the (gift of) prophecy and the Book; so there are among them those who go aright, and most of them are transgressors. # [66.10] Allah sets forth an example to those who disbelieve the wife of Nuh and the wife of Lut: they were both under two of Our righteous servants, but they acted treacherously towards them so they availed them naught against Allah, and it was said: Enter both the fire with those who enter. # [71.1] Surely We sent Nuh to his people, saying: Warn your people before there come upon them a painful chastisement. # [71.21] Nuh said: My Lord! surely they have disobeyed me and followed him whose wealth and children have added to him nothing but loss. # [71.26] And Nuh said: My Lord! leave not upon the land any dweller from among the unbelievers: ----
Why are some of the prophets called Major prophets?
the major prophets are simply the longer books. The 'minor' prophets are simply the shorter books. the major prophets are simply the longer books. The 'minor' prophets are simply the shorter books.
Was the kaaba built by all the prophets?
No, this is not true!
According to the Islamic traditions, which remains unsuported by any evidence whatsoever, it was Adam [you know the guy who was 50 feet tall] who first built Kaa'ba, later it was rebuilt by Abraham and Ishmael on the foundations laid down by Adam himself.
Now sometimes after Ishmael, the Arabs got into idolatry and made it a center of their religious activities. These Pagans attributed partners to Allah and placed those gods and goddesses in Kaa'ba as well.
During the early days of Muhammad, on whom be peace and blessings, the people of Makkah renovated it in which the Prophet (PBUH) himself participated.
So, its absolutely wrong to relate building of Kaa'ba to Moses (PBUH).

Why did god call Daniel a prophet?
Daniel is considered a prophet by Christians, but not by Jews. The difference is no doubt based on the Christian use of passages in the book, that can be used as apparently foreshadowing the life of Jesus. On this view, Daniel became a prophet for Christians when they began to relate passages in the Book of Daniel to the New Testament.
Hazrat Adam(A.S) was the first man on Earth. Along with his companion 'Hazrat Amma Hawwa' or 'Eve'. Thus he is the father of mankind. They had children and so the generation after generation of mankind thus begun.
He descended from the heavens.
