Notes:

Counts are based on the standard Qur’anic text.

  • Some prophets appear under more than one name/variant (e.g., Elias/Al-Yaseen).
  • Others are referred to indirectly without name, but above are the explicitly named prophets.
  • While his specific name appears 4-5 times, the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) is far more frequently referred to by Muhammad title and role, such as:
  • “The Messenger” (الرَّسُول)
  • “The Prophet” (النَّبِي)
  • “The Unlettered Prophet” (النَّبِيُّ الأُمِّي)
  • “You who are enveloped” (يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُزَّمِّل) – in Surah Al-Muzzammil
  • “You who are covered” (يَا أَيُّهَا الْمُدَّثِّر) – in Surah Al-Muddathir
  • These titles and direct addresses to him are found throughout the Quran and are numerous. The Quran itself is ultimately his message and miracle, so his presence is implied throughout the entire book.
