Kisah Para Nabi

Nabi dan Rasul adalah manusia-manusia pilihan yang bertugas memberi petunjuk kepada manusia tentang keesaan Allah SWT dan membina mereka agar melaksanakan ajaran-Nya. Ciri-ciri mereka dikemukakan dalam Al-Qur’an, "... ialah orang-orang yang menyampaikan risalah-risalah Allah. Mereka takut kepada-Nya dan mereka tiada takut kepada seorang (pun) selain kepada Allah. Dan cukuplah Allah sebagai pembuat perhitungan." (Q.S. Al Ahzab : 39).
