Prophets mentioned by name in the Qur’an
This page includes the 25 Prophets mentioned by name in the Qur’an. Some righteous figures are also mentioned in Islamic texts, such as Luqman, Dhu al-Qarnayn, and Khidr, but their prophethood is not stated clearly in the Qur’an, so they should be handled separately and carefully.
