Answer ID: 6851Posted on: Sep 1, 2020

Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1471/1279=B/1429)

Rasool (messenger) is one who is given new Shariah and new divine book while a Nabi (prophet) is not granted new divine book but he preaches according to his previous messenger.

Note: There are some more definitions and differences between prophet and messenger which can be seen in Nibrah (the commentary of Sharh Aqaaid).

Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
