Who was the First Prophet
Ques: Who was the first Prophet of Islam? Please answer with reference.
Ans: The first Messenger of Allah was Hadhrat Adam (alaihissalam) who was selected to advise and counsel the human being on Tawheed, and after him was Hadhrat Shaith (alaihissalam). But their resurrection was only to teach the belief, Eemaan and worship of Allah to the mankind and humanity.
However the first Prophet resurrected with new Shari’ah to any infidel nation was Hadhrat Nooh (alaihissalam).
As the full explanation is available in the books of Ahaadith and Tafseer.

I have never read anywhere that Prophet Adam was resurrected… can any one shed more light on this?
otherwise.. where in the world did they get this idea?
