Aayaat in the Qur’aan
that mention the Prophets’ Names:
إِنَّا أَوْحَيْنَا
إِلَيْكَ كَمَا أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ نُوحٍ وَالنَّبِيِّينَ مِن بَعْدِهِ ۚ
وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ
وَالْأَسْبَاطِ وَعِيسَىٰ وَأَيُّوبَ وَيُونُسَ وَهَارُونَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ ۚ
وَآتَيْنَا دَاوُودَ زَبُورًا
وَرُسُلًا قَدْ قَصَصْنَاهُمْ عَلَيْكَ مِن قَبْلُ وَرُسُلًا لَّمْ
نَقْصُصْهُمْ عَلَيْكَ ۚ وَكَلَّمَ اللَّهُ مُوسَىٰ تَكْلِيمًا
163. Verily, We have inspired you (O
Muhammad) as We inspired Nuh (Noah) and the Prophets after him; We
(also) inspired Ibrahim (Abraham), Isma'il (Ishmael), Ishaque (Isaac), Ya'qub
(Jacob), and Al-Asbat [the twelve sons of Ya'qub (Jacob)], 'Iesa
(Jesus), Ayub (Job), Yunus (Jonah), Harun (Aaron), and Sulaiman (Solomon), and
to Dawud (David) We gave the Zabur (Psalms).
164. And Messengers We have mentioned
to you before, and Messengers We have not mentioned to you, - and to Musa
(Moses) Allah spoke directly. [Nisaa 4:163-164]
11 Prophets mentioned above.
وَتِلْكَ حُجَّتُنَا
آتَيْنَاهَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَىٰ قَوْمِهِ ۚ نَرْفَعُ دَرَجَاتٍ مَّن نَّشَاءُ ۗ
إِنَّ رَبَّكَ حَكِيمٌ عَلِيمٌ
وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ
إِسْحَاقَ وَيَعْقُوبَ ۚ كُلًّا هَدَيْنَا ۚ وَنُوحًا هَدَيْنَا مِن قَبْلُ ۖ
وَمِن ذُرِّيَّتِهِ دَاوُودَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ وَأَيُّوبَ وَيُوسُفَ وَمُوسَىٰ
وَهَارُونَ ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ
وَزَكَرِيَّا
وَيَحْيَىٰ وَعِيسَىٰ وَإِلْيَاسَ ۖ كُلٌّ مِّنَ الصَّالِحِينَ
وَإِسْمَاعِيلَ
وَالْيَسَعَ وَيُونُسَ وَلُوطًا ۚ وَكُلًّا فَضَّلْنَا عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ
83. And that was Our Proof which We gave Ibrahim
(Abraham) against his people. We raise whom We will in
degrees. Certainly your Lord is All-Wise, All-Knowing.
84. And We bestowed upon him Ishaque
(Isaac) and Ya'qub (Jacob), each of them We guided, and before him, We guided
Nuh (Noah), and among his progeny Dawud (David), Sulaiman (Solomon), Ayub
(Job), Yusuf (Joseph), Musa (Moses), and Harun (Aaron). Thus do We reward
the good-doers.
85. And Zakariya (Zachariya), and
Yahya (John) and 'Iesa (Jesus) and Iliyas (Elias), each one of them was of the
righteous.
86. And Isma'il (Ishmael) and Al-Yas'a
(Elisha), and Yunus (Jonah) and Lout (Lot), and each one of them We preferred
above the 'Alamin (mankind and jinns) (of their times).
87. And also some of their fathers and
their progeny and their brethren, We chose them, and We guided them to a
Straight Path. [Al An’aam 6:83-87]
