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.

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" />
