Who was the prophet who founded the Muslim religion?
Collectively, scholars refer to these three religions as the Abrahamic faiths, since it is believed that Abraham and his family played vital roles in the formation of these religions. Islam began with the Prophet Muhammad.
Even the followers of Jesus knew him as a prophet. Provided here in
Matthew 21:42 42Jesus said to them, "Have you never read in the Scriptures: " 'The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone; the Lord has done this, and it is marvelous in our eyes"
43"Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit. 44He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed."
45When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard Jesus' parables, they knew he was talking about them. 46They looked for a way to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowd because the people held that he was a prophet.
Christianity answer
Many people thought that he was just another prophet, but he was really the Messiah (Chosen One) sent by God to save us. (Also, he was God in human form). Three days after His Crucifixion, he showed us that He was not just another prophet...by returning from the dead!
Islamic answer
Yes is a prophet of Allah (swt) Muslims do not believe that he was the son of god, because how could God be killed by mankind? Muslims believe that he did not die on the cross, as there is no evidence that he did, only in the man-made gospels does it say he was resurrected, in the bible it does not say he died on the cross, and the bible was 'changed' by mankind as well, because now you find the new testament and old testament (someone once told me that God made rules and took them away? but if god knows best why would he make rules that were no good? and how is it Gods new rules when the 'bible' was written by man!!!). as you can't find 2 bibles that are different in the same church or school etc. Jesus was there to deliver the bible, Muslims believe in what the bible says (the old testament one, which has not been changed), but not the 'New Testament' which has been written again by people. in the bible it states the coming of The prophet Muhammad (saw). The reason why Muslims do not read the bible is because you now cant tell which one is real and which one is not, The Qur'an was the last set of rules form Allah (swt) each book which was set down has some rules, The Qur'an was the last set, so we follow the Qur'an because it has all of the things we need to follow. As he did not die on the cross Muslims believe that Allah (swt) took him and placed him in heaven with him, as he is still alive, how could he be resurrected? Allah (swt) has said that he will come again, and in that time there will be peace and he will kill the anti-Christ, but after he leaves there will war etc. so the answer to your question is yes, Jesus was a prophet of Allah (swt)
Why were the prophets so important to the Israelite history?
Answer
The prophets were the people who claimed to be instructed by God to share His words. They were important because they were the ones responsible to teach the Israelites about God's words.
In particular, they were to share God's words about the future. These words were preserved in a section of the Bible called the Prophets (Neviim in Hebrew). Prophets did complain about injustice and disrespect toward God in their day, but it's their statements about the future that are especially important.
In a way, prophecy or statements about the future are like science. In science, one should establish an hypothesis, a null hypothesis or a statement that is opposite to the hypothesis. One should test data for both hypothesis and null hypothesis to keep one honest or to prevent one from cheating. At the same time one should make predictions ("prophecies") about one's hypothesis. If these predictions come true then the hypothesis is regarded as sound. That's why God shared prophecies about the future with His servants the ancient Israelite prophets. In that way God demonstrates that the history and other records in the Bible are also true.
Of much interest today are the passages of prophecy concerning the Israelites' return to the modern land of Israel. Even Mohammad in the Koran, Sura 17, acknowledged the Jewish people might one day return to the Land of Israel. This has been happening since the early 1800s but accelerated in the early 1900s and from 1948 when the United Nations recognised Israel's right to re-enter and control the land of its ancestors. Some people dispute that the Jews are descended from ancient Israelites, but the evidence is much in favor of the Jews, and states that they are indeed the people God said would return to Israel, despite some intermarrying with other ethnic groups as happened in the Biblical account. The Kurds (Chaldeans) are another example of Biblical prophecies coming to fulfillment.
In the New Testament, Jesus, who is also a prophet in addition to His roles as priest and king, said that the last days would be like the "Days of Noah". Quite a lot of very normal things happened in those days such as marrying, eating, drinking, building houses and normal daily life. But some abnormal things also took place such as demons intermarrying (procreating or mating) with women. That's one reason why God destroyed that world by the catastrophe we call "Noah's Flood". The waters of that flood dried up by forming snow storms that led to ice caps at the poles and snow on the mountains (glaciers). As we witness the ice caps melting, a natural event that is the result of the earth's ambient temperature making it too warm for ice to survive (without refrigerators), we are reminded that Jesus said the "Last Days" before His return to Earth ("Second Coming") would be like the "Days of Noah" - i.e., no ice caps.

Who are the prophets in the Bible?
The Bible never specifies who was the greatest prophet. Since a prophet is speaking for God and not for themselves they don't care who is the greatest, nor do Christians bother with this since they all have something valuable to learn from, both in word and action. The four 'major prophets' of the Old Testament, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel are all 'up there' mainly because of the great amount of their life and work we have record of as well as the greatness and volume of their prophetic message. Together with this their work went on for an extended period.
Totally unlike all of these is Jesus Christ who is much more than a prophet, but also Himself the fulfillment of much of their earlier prophecy and who will Himself fulfill some of His own prophecy regarding His future return.
What is the woman whose father husband son and brother was prophet?
No religion allows this kind of relationship. The question is based on utter ignorance. A Muslim can't marry the following:
His mother, his mother's mother, his father's mother, his sister, his daughter, his step daughter, the daughters of his sister, the daughters of his brother, the daughters of his step-mother, the sister of his father, the sister of his grandfather. He can't keep two sisters in his wedlock at the same time.

How was Hosea called to be a prophet?
God wanted His people of the northern kingdom to turn back to Him because they had begun to worship false idols and other gods. The people became very unfaithful to God and were very wicked. God loves us and is very patient with us.
Who is the prophet who was raised to the Heavens?
Example: Moses was the prophet of the most high. Aaron was the Most High Priest as it was only he who could enter the Holy of Holies and only once a year at that.
That's interesting seeing that Aaron was the one who fashioned a Gold Calf for the people to worship while Moses was up the mountain.
In summary, Aaron who fashioned a false God could enter the Holy of Holies, but Moses who came down from the Mountain with his face shining from the presence of the Lord could not. Go figure.

Where was the prophet Jeremiah born?
Jeremiah's was born in Anathoth, just 3 miles N.E. of Jerusalem in the hill country of Benjamin. His father was Hilkiah. Jeremiah's ministry extended form 626 to 586 B.C., making him a contemporary of Zephaniah, Ezekiel, and Habakkuk. The prophet's writings ministry began in the 4th yr. of Jehoiakim's reign in 605 B.C. (36;1-2) When the forces of Nebuchadnezzar took Jerusalem in 586 B.C. Jeremiah was freed and given the choice of going to Babylon or remaining in Jersalem. Jeremiah chose the latter but was soon abducted and taken to Egypt by the Jews who fled there rather than face Nebuchadnezzar. In Egypt Jeremaih prophesied a few more years and apparently there he died. So that is the closest that I came to finding the actual age, So by adding a couple of yrs. to 586. Gives us an a round about yr that he died. Sorry that I could not find anymore out for you.
