The Qualities of the Noble Prophets of Allah

Each and every noble prophet and messenger of Allah was blessed with a perfect disposition, peace be upon all of them. They were handsome and their lineage noble. Their character was good as was their behavior. This is because they all possessed the attributes of perfection. They guided towards the complete code of human spiritual behavior which was to be completed by Prophet Muhammad and practiced virtuous deeds on account of their rank being of the most noble and their degree being of the highest.

Allah tells us that He preferred some of the prophets and messengers over others with His words, "Of these Messengers, We have preferred some above others. To some Allah spoke; and some He raised in rank. We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear signs and strengthened him with the Spirit of Purity (Gabriel)" (2:253). He also tells us, "and We chose them, out of a knowledge above the nations (of their time)" (44:32).

Prophet Muhammad said, "The first group to enter the Paradise will be like the full moon…… every man will be in the height of their father Adam who was sixty cubits tall."

The Prophet gave additional information about Moses saying, "He is like the best men you have ever seen with a dark complexion."
