Confessing to the [[Prophets of Islam|Prophets]] of God is also part of the Sunni faith.<ref name = "Aschari29056" /> The first of the prophets is [[Adam in Islam|Adam]].<ref>an-Nasafī: '' ʿUmdat ʿAqīdat ahl as-sunna wa-l-ǧamāʿa ''. 1843, p. 18.</ref> The original contract (''mīṯāq'') that God concluded with him and his descendants according to sura 7:172–173 is a reality according to Sunni belief.<ref>aṭ-Ṭaḥāwī: '' al-ʿAqīda ''. 1995, p. 16. – Engl. Übers. Watt 51.</ref> God has taken [[Abraham in Islam|Abraham]] as a friend (''ḫalīl'') and talked to [[Moses in Islam|Moses]] directly.<ref>aṭ-Ṭaḥāwī: '' al-ʿAqīda ''. 1995, p. 20. – Engl. Übers. Watt 52.</ref> The last of the prophets is [[Mohammed]] from the tribe of the [[Quraish]].<ref name = "Gazali10877">al-Ġazālī: ''Iḥyāʾ ʿulūm ad-dīn ''. 2005, p. 108. – Engl. Übers. Watt. 1994. p. 77.</ref> The Sunnis do not differentiate between the messengers of God, (By rejecting some of them), but consider everything they have brought to be true.<ref name="Tahawi2253">aṭ-Ṭaḥāwī: ''al-ʿAqīda''. 1995, S. 22. – Engl. Übers. Watt 53.</ref>

God called the [[prophets]] and presented their truthfulness through obvious miracles. The prophets conveyed God's command and prohibition, his [[promise and threat]], and it is incumbent on people to believe what they have brought to be true.<ref name = "Gazali10877" /> God has given people the act of obedience (''ṭāʿa'') and opposition (''maʿṣiya'') forbidden.<ref>aṭ-Ṭaḥāwī: '' al-ʿAqīda ''. 1995, p. 11. – Engl. Übers. Watt 49.</ref> God's right to the acts of obedience is not only an obligation for people through the intellect (''bi-muǧarrad al-ʿaql''), but also through it for making it a duty through the oral transmission of his prophets.<ref name = "Gazali10877" />

==== Muhammad ====
Muhammad from the tribe of the [[Quraish]] is not only the seal of the prophets (''ḫātam al-anbiyāʾ''),<ref name="Tahawi1249"/> rather, God placed him above all other [[prophets]] and made him Lord of men (''saiyid al-bašar'').<ref name="Gazali10877"/> He is God's chosen servant (''ʿabd''), [[Rasūl|Messenger]], the [[Imam]] of the godly (''imām al-atqiyāʾ'') and the beloved of the Lord of the Worlds (''ḥabīb rabb al-ʿālamīn''). He is sent with truth (''ḥaqq''), guidance (''hudā'') and light (''nūr''). God has him with his message to [[Arabs]] and Non-Arabs as well as sent to the general public of the [[jinn]] and humans and with his [[Sharia]], the earlier religious laws [[Naskh (tafsir)|abrogated]], except that which he has confirmed.<ref name = "Gazali10877" /> Part of the Sunnis path is to follow the traditions (''āṯār'') of Muhammad internally and externally. They prefer his guidance to the guidance of anyone else.<ref>Ibn Taimīya: '' al-ʿAqīda al-Wāsiṭīya ''. 1999, p. 128. – German transl. Wein p. 98.</ref>

Muhammad's prophethood is proven by miracles (''muʿǧizāt'') such as the splitting of the moon. The most obvious miracle is the Quran's [[I'jaz|inimitability]].<ref>an-Nasafī: '' ʿUmdat ʿAqīdat ahl as-sunna wa-l-ǧamāʿa ''. 1843, pp. 16f.</ref> Every claim to prophethood after him is an error or imagination, since Muhammad is the last prophet.<ref name = "Tahawi1249" /> Another important point of teaching is the belief in [[Ascension of Muhammad|Muhammad's Ascension]] (''miʿrāǧ'').<ref name = "Aschari29660" />
Accordingly, Muhammad went on a nocturnal journey during which his person was transported to heaven while awake and from there to heights, "which God has chosen". God gave him what he had chosen for him and gave him his revelation. God has also blessed him in his life beyond and in this world.<ref name = "Tahawi1249" />
