Which two prophets are recognized in Islam from the Judeo-Christian tradition?

• A. Moses and Jesus
• B. Moses and Muhammad
• C. Jesus and Muhammad
• D. Abraham and Isaac

Answer: (A)

In Islam, prophets come from God and include figures who appear in earlier Judeo-Christian scriptures. Moses and Jesus are two such prophets, widely honored in Islamic teaching. Moses is seen as the lawgiver who led the Israelites and received divine guidance, the Torah, to guide his people. Jesus is respected as a prophet who delivered God’s message and performed miracles, with the Qur’an affirming his miraculous birth and mission. Because both are explicitly mentioned as prophets in Islamic tradition and are part of the shared scriptural lineage, they fit as the two prophets from that tradition that Islam recognizes. Muhammad is regarded as the final prophet, but he is not part of the earlier Judeo-Christian tradition, and Abraham is a patriarch figure with different emphasis in Islam, while Isaac is not typically singled out as a prophet in the same way.
