When these apostles had to face the oppositions of those who were preached; these apostles prayed that Allah would guide them. When Allah found that His treatises delivered through the apostles were completely denied and denied by them, Allah saved these apostles and their followers, and Allah will impose the punishment upon the disbelievers.

Noah

Noah's Calligraphy 'alaihis-salam

Noah's name (in Arabic: ⁇ , translit. Nu ) is mentioned 43 times in the Qur'an. He was the ancestor of the other ululazmi apostles. The Qur'an says that Allah exalts him over all the people and is revealed to be a grateful servant of Allah. A history of the hadith tells us that Noah was the first apostle.

It is mentioned in the Qur'an that the people of Noah performed idolatry and Noah was sent so that they might return to the way of Allah. Noah preached them day and night, both secretly, blatantly, then both ways at once. But the officials of Noah did not welcome the call. Noah was considered a heretic, a liar, and a lunatic.  The opposition of Noah was also passed on to the generations after him. Parents who oppose Noah will order their children who have been rebellious to oppose Noah, so that these pagans will give birth to a generation of infidels.

After preaching for a long time, Noah asked God for help in the rejection of his people.  God then ordered Noah to build an ark because God would bring a flood that would drown the disbelievers.After the making of the ark was completed, Noah was ordered to bring the animals to the ark in pairs, male and female.

Regarding the man who boarded the boat, the Qur'an explains that they were Noah himself, his family of believers, and his followers. There was no mention of his name or exact number, but it is explained that the believers who were with Noah were few. Ibn 'Abbas argued that there were eighty men and their families who participated in Noah's ark. The disbelievers of Noah drowned, including the disbelieving son of Noah who refused to board the ark.

Ibrahim

Calligraphy of Ibrahim 'alaihis-salam

Ibrahim's name (arabic: ⁇ Quitts, translit. He is mentioned 69 times in the Qur'an, making him the second most named human figure in the Qur'an. Ibrahim was given the nickname khalilullah (fortified in the form of rhymes (fortified in the form of rhymes ire) and the ancestry of the Muslims. It is mentioned in the Qur'an that Abraham was a priest to man, his family was overblown over all the people, and his descendants were endowed with books and wisdom. The religion of Islam brought by Muhammad is also seen as a continuation of the teachings of Ibrahim. Ibrahim is also called an example and Prophet Muhammad and Muslims are instructed to follow the straight religion of Ibrahim. It is also confirmed that those who hate the religion of Abraham are the ones who make a fool of themselves and the people closest to Abraham are the ones who follow his teachings, the Prophet Muhammad, and the believers. His name is also juxtaposed with Muhammad in shalawat.

Afterwards, Ibrahim emigrated to Palestine and then had several children, but the best known are Isma'il and Ishaq. Allah also commanded Abraham to slaughter his son as a test of faith and Abraham to obey him. But when Abraham was about to slaughter him, God replaced him with a large slaughter animal. With Ishmael, Abraham was also ordered to raise the foundation of the Kaaba.

Abraham is known as Abraham in Judaism and Christianity and is a respected figure in both religions. In Jewish tradition, Ibrahim is called Avraham Avinu ( ⁇ ), "our father Abraham," indicating his position as the biological ancestor of the Jewish nation and the father of the Jewish religion, also seen as the first Jewish nation.

Moses

Calligraphy of Moses 'alaihis-salam

Name of Moses (in Arabic: ⁇ , translit. Muisa ) is mentioned 136 times in the Qur'an, making him the human figure whose name is mentioned the most in the Qur'an. He received the nickname kalimullah (in Arabic: ⁇ ⁇ 4. P.) which means "one who speaks with God." Moses was a descendant of Levi ibn Ya'qub ibn Ishaq ibn Ibrahim. The Qur'an refers to him as one who carries the evidence of the truth, is guided by Allah, is superior to other men, and has an honorable position with Allah. In carrying out apostolic duties, Moses was accompanied by his brother, Aaron.

Moses was ordered to preach Pharaoh and asked him to free the Children of Israel from oppression and bring them out of Egypt. Pharaoh refused Moses' request and there was hostility between the two sides. When Moses took the Children of Israel away, Pharaoh and his army pursued him, but they were drowned.

When Moses was on the mountain, the Children of Israel worshipped a statue of a cow made by Samiri, even threatening to kill Aaron who had reminded them.  When Moses ordered the Israelites to fight in order to enter Palestine, they refused and instead asked God and Moses to fight themselves against the people, while they would wait. So Allah forbade the land to the Children of Israel for forty years, and during that time, they will swirl in confusion on the earth.  The book of the Torah revealed to Moses became the legal guide for the Children of Israel in later times.

Moses was also revered in Judaism and Christianity. Jewish tradition views Moses as the greatest prophet who ever lived.

Isa

Calligraphy 'Isa 'alaihis-salam

Name Isa (in Arabic: ⁇ , translit. `A) is mentioned 25 times in the Qur'an. He was also called ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ ibn Maryam 23 times and 11 times ⁇ 11 times. He was a descendant of Ya'qub ibn Ishaq ibn Ibrahim.

The three Samawi religions have conflicting views on Isa. The Jews viewed him as a prostitute, executed by the Jewish supreme court for spreading idolatry and practicing witchcraft. There are differing views on the status of Isa in Christianity, but in general Isa is exalted to the degree of divinity.

Its mention in the Qur'an is primarily concerned with two aspects: its glory and humanity. Jesus is mentioned as the leading figure in the world and the Hereafter, brought close to God, godly, holy, and blessed. It is also said that God taught the book, wisdom, the Torah, and the Gospel to Jesus. Muslims are also commanded to believe in the revelation of Allah, both revealed to Muhammad and to other prophets, among whom is Isa, he was also commanded not to discriminate between prophets and surrender to God.

On the other hand, Isa is also mentioned as a servant of Allah and is not reluctant to be a servant of Allah. Together with Maryam, Isa is said to eat food, an expression of his humanity. The creation of Isa is also aligned with the creation of Adam, explaining that the creation of both is due to the power of God. The Qur'an also gives opposition to various kinds of teachings that follow Isa, such as thinking of him as God, the son of God, or seeing that Allah is Isa itself.

In addition to the worship of Allah, the most frequently mentioned cry of Jesus in the Qur'an is that he came to justify the Torah. There are several theories and interpretations related to the crucifixion event among Muslims, many believe that Jesus was lifted to the sky physically alive. Some hadith narrations state that Isa will descend back into the world before the end of time.

Muhammad

Calligraphy of Muhammad shalallahu 'alaihi wa salam

The presence of Muhammad is the fulfillment of the prophets whom Allah sent into the midst of mankind. Muhammad was born and raised as an Arab. Allah saved Muhammad in the face of hard times. After becoming an Apostle of Allah, the preacher Muhammad faced opposition from the infidels because the prophet was considered to spread teachings to replace ancestral traditions. Even though the prophet's preaching was denied, until he was driven out by the infidels who had emigrated to Medina, Allah always gave protection and help to accompany the prophet with the believers. Some time later; Allah commanded the Prophet Muhammad and the believers to go forth to fight against the disbelievers and those who had driven them away, that Allah may inflict grievous punishment upon the disbelievers through the hands of the believers, until Muhammad's camp with the believers is helped with victory from Allah's side. After that, the believers made a peace treaty against the unbelievers that the people would not disturb the believers. Muhammad with the believers who accompanied him had a strong disposition towards the disbelievers but was familiar with his fellow believers.

The specificity of Muhammad is the revelation of the Qur'an, an Arabic scripture derived from the Word of God. In this book there is a Bismil-born Rahmanirrahim lafaz as a sign of the fulfillment of the previous books of God, so that mankind fully submit to Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Merciful. Allah guarantees the purity of the contents of the Qur'an, unlike some of the previous books which had experienced interference from the scribes while others were in various versions. Muhammad was also sent as the fulfillment of the Torah and the Gospel, with the aim that mankind should only believe, serve, and surrender sincerely to Allah alone, also, that mankind may hold fast to the teachings of Allah; that is, the treatises given through the Apostles and prophets whom Allah has sent,  because there is a prohibition on following the teachings derived from "the lust of man" which can lead to a split in the religion of God.  There are various explanations that the split attitude in religion is equivalent to heresy and idolatry.
