Quran verses about the messengers and their mission

الرسالة والرسل

180 verses in 33 surahs · 19 subtopics

Every nation has had a messenger, and these verses set out what the messengers share: men among men, sent with clear proofs, asking no wage, charged above all with conveying the message. They also describe the content of the divine messages — calling to the worship of Allah alone, giving good tidings and warning, explaining and teaching — in the face of Satan’s hostility.

And [We sent] messengers about whom We have related [their stories] to you before and messengers about whom We have not related to you. And Allāh spoke to Moses with [direct] speech.
