[Islamic] In the Islamic popular tradition, God created light first in the form of a pearl. God looked upon this shining pearl with so much love that it felt shy and perspiration 'pearled' upon its shiny surface. Out of these droplets God created the spirits of the prophets of the Qur'anic tradition. They are the following, in order of their appearance on earth: Adam Idris Nuh (Noah) Hud Salid Ibrahim (Abraham) Lut (Lot) Ishaq (Isaac) Isma'il (Ishmael) Ya'qub (Jacob) Yusuf (Joseph) Ayyub (Job) Shu'ayb (Jethro) Musa (Moses) Harun (Aaron) Dhu'l-Kifli (Joshua) Shamuil (Samuel) Dawud (David) Sulayman (Solomon) Ilyas (Elijah) Al-Yasaa (Elisha) Uzayr (Ezra) Yunus (Jonah) Zakariya (Zachariah) Yahya (John the Baptist) Isa (Jesus) Muhammad A prophet is a man who receives a revelation directly from God or from an angel (Jibril). He is then sent (rasul) to his people. 

Since Islam considers Allah to be the god of the Jews and the Christians (see also People of the Book ), it views the important figures of those two religions as prophets of Allah. Some of the figures Islam considers prophets are: Adam, Abraham , Ishmael , David , and Jesus . All these prophets delivered Allah's message, but somehow it was corrupted or shortened and so their work was only partially successful. This is why Mohammed is considered the Seal of the Prophets , because he brought the complete, final, and uncorrupted message of Allah to humanity.
