As salaamualaikum Mufti Sahab. I wanted to know the differnce between a Nabi and a Rasool(Peace be upon them). Could you please also give the names of all the Rasool's (saw). JazakhAllahukhair.
Question
A long time back I have read in one of the website that, a Rasool or a Messenger(Peace be upon them) is one who brings new Deen to the people, and a Prophet or a Nabi(Peace be upon them) is one who guides the people in following that Deen.
Answer
This is the most preferred view that a Rasul is one who brings a new law, and a Nabi is one who guides according to the previously revealed law.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
