Are the words “prophet” and “prophecy” used primarily in reference to a person who by the gift of God has knowledge of future things? (Nebi)

Bible: Yes       Qur'an: No

1 Samuel 9:9 – Previously in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he spoke, Come, and let us go to the seer; for he that is now called a prophet was formerly called a seer.

Revelation 19:10 – The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.


Al-A’raf 7:158 & 188 – 158. So believe in Allah and His messenger, the prophet who can neither read nor write... 188. I am but a warner, and a bearer of glad tidings unto people who believe.

Al-Ahqaf 46:9 – Say to them: “I am no new thing among the Messengers. Just as all the former Prophets were mortals who had no share in Divine attributes and powers, so am I. I am no more than a plain warner.
