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: ----

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?

A:The Bible does mention more than one Daniel, but modern readers are generally concerned with Daniel from the Book of Daniel. Scholars say that this book was really only a second-century-BCE Jewish novel and that Daniel did not really exist.

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.

What did Isaiah do before he was a prophet?

The book of Isaiah begins with his telling the prophecies, so there are no narratives telling about his childhood.

Why are Elijah and Elisha not in the list of the major and minor prophets?

The classification of major or minor prophet refers to the biblical books written by various prophets. Elisha has no books attributed to him. Thus, he does not qualify for either. This does not reflect the importance of his actual role as a prophet.

Who is the last mentioned prophet in the Bible?

The last prophet is the person recognised by a given religion as the final revelation of God (or the gods). There is usually something qualitatively different about this final prophet, beyond the fact that he was chronologically last.

For example, the most recent prophet acknowledged by the Jews was Malachi; there has not been another prophet since. But he is not really a Last Prophet in this final sense, because the Jews believe there is still a future prophet, the Messiah, to come.

In Christianity the final prophet is Jesus. There cannot be another after him or greater than him because he is the sin-bearer who brings ultimate reconciliation with God. In Christianity, no greater work than this is possible. All previous prophets look forward to the death of Jesus, and all theology since has looked backwards to it.

In Islam the final prophet is Mohammed. He brought the Qur'an, which Muslims believe to be a perfect and uncorrupted book. There is no need for additional prophets since they would only be repeating what the Qur'an already says.

In Sikhism the final "prophet" is Guru Gobind Singh. He edited the definitive version of the Sikh holy book, the Siri Guru Granth Sahib, which takes the place of the prophets. Again, subsequent gurus would only be repeating what the Granth Sahib says, so they are not really needed.

Why Mother Teresa a prophet today?

Yes she was. In fact, she founded an order of nuns called the Missionaries of Charity.

The main function of the order is mission work around the world. As an adjunct to this religious activity, the order provides some small-scale services for the poor. This includes several hundred beds in Calcutta and elsewhere for the destitute dying, as well as several small schools in India. The order provides free food for the homeless in Calcutta, but this is a quite small operation compared to other, less well publicised charities working in the same area. However, most of the order's missions do not provide for the poor, but were set up to support the preaching of the faith.

Jesus also fulfilled Moses' promise of Deuteronomy 18:15-18 - the long awaited Messiah.
