The number of prophets mentioned in the Qu?ran are ___

There is no single, definitive answer to the exact number of prophets mentioned in the Quran. Different scholars have suggested different numbers, but most estimates fall in the range of 25-30 prophets explicitly named in the Quran. Some scholars also suggest that there are additional prophets mentioned in the Quran whose names are not explicitly given, which could increase the total number of prophets to as many as 124,000 according to a Hadith, or saying of the Prophet Muhammad. However, the exact number is not as important as the message that the Quran conveys through these prophets, which is the call to worship and obey Allah, to follow His guidance, and to live a righteous and just life.
