The Heavens Almost Ripped Apart When They Ascribed a Son to Allah

The Difference Between a Prophet and a Messenger (عليه السلام)
All Messengers are Prophets, but not all Prophets are Messengers.
A Prophet (Nabi) is someone who Allah has given guidance or a Shari’ah (law) for himself. Sometimes, Allah asks the Prophet to teach it to people who already believe in the same message (of Tawheed—Islamic Monotheism).
A Messenger (Rasool) is someone who Allah has given a new Shari’ah (law) and commanded him to deliver it to people who disagree with him or oppose the message (of Tawheed—Islamic Monotheism).
