5. Prophets and the Prophethood
“Every community is sent a messenger, and when their messenger comes, they will be judged justly; they will not be wronged.” Qur’an 10:47
It is hard enough to prove God exists, let alone what God wants for how we should live our lives etc. Prophets are part of the answer for Muslims. Prophets are people chosen by God to communicate His message. They are promoted to prophethood as a gift from God to help humankind understand all that is good and to understand God. Humans forget, misunderstand or change God’s teachings, so prophets are needed to set people back onto the right path. Muslims believe there have been 124,000 prophets in history; 25 of those have been named in the Qur’an.

7. Carousel
You are going to research into three of the most important of the 124,000 prophets in Islam: Adam, Ibrahim and Muhammad. Other significant prophets in Islam are Musa (Moses) and Isa (Jesus). Yes, Muslims recognise that Jesus is a prophet and role model, however, they do not believe that he was the son of God and they do not believe that he rose from the dead. Even so, the Twelver branch of Shi’a Islam also agree with Christians that Jesus will return to the world again to bring justice and peace.
Students need to research into a prophet completing their sheet. They then move onto the next one rotating around the room.
Explain that Ibrahim is split into two parts hence why there are 4 boxes.

Looking at our world today, there are plenty of problems and difficulties that need sorting and solving. Perhaps we need a Prophet that will be a wonderful example of how to live the right kind of life and be an influential teacher of what is right.
Your task is to create a Prophet that will be the ideal role model and teacher for us.
What would they teach people?
What issue(s) or problem will they tackle?
What kind of a person will they be (qualities)?
How will they behave?
Draw a stick man in your book under the title “My Prophet for Our Problem”. Write around it your answers to the questions above.
They could already be alive and a real person now, but you will need to justify why they deserve to be seen as a Prophet.

Which of the Prophets do you think matters most to Muslims and why? How important are the Prophets for Muslims?
Students need to write a reflection in their books in answer to one of the questions above. Hear from a few if there is time.
