Muhammad, the Last Prophet
Blessing from Allah (God)
Allah's compassion and mercy mean he can't leave people to sin without helping them. He sends messages about how to live a good life. He almost always does this via angels, who pass on his words to human prophets (rasuls).
Risalah is the concept of messengers, one of the ways Allah communicates with humans. Allah chose many people as prophets. 25 prophets are mentioned in the Quran, although some believe there have been 124 000.
Some prophets were given holy books to pass on to humankind. Muslims believe the prophets taught the same basic ideas, most importantly belief in one God. We see all the prophets as equal to each other.
