FIRST:

Is he Abraham, Moses, Elia or Elijah, Jesus, Mohammed or the Mahdi [Elijah of the Last Days]?
See this here:

[The Jews said to Prophet Mohammed – salam to him: "God sent Moses a prophet to whom He revealed, and that's it [no more prophets after Moses.]"

Therefore, God rejected their words and announced that He had sent many apostles to whom He had revealed, as did He reveal to Moses, so don't pay attention to their words; this is included in this aya, which mean:]

Quran 4: 163. We have revealed [the Quran] to you [Mohammed] as had We revealed to Noah and the prophets after him, as had We revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob a and the patriarchs [Jacob sons] b, and Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron and Solomon, and as had We imparted to David the Psalms c.

164. And [some] messengers We mentioned [their stories] to you [Mohammed] before [this soora], while We did not mention to you [the stories of other] messengers d – But to Moses e God spoke with an [audible] speech f.

SECOND:

If we study the aya carefully, we see some prophets have been cited in chronological sequence, while others in preference sequence:

This is the explanation of this great aya:

163 a Who was surnamed Israel.
163 b In this aya, these prophets have been mentioned by time sequence: the first born of Abraham was Isaac, then He mentioned Jacob the grandson of Abraham, and Isaac is the father of Jacob.

By preference:
Then He mentioned Jesus by preference to Job and those mentioned after him, and that was not by time sequence; because Job was before Jesus and before Moses, and Job in fact died in the time of Moses.

Similarly, in this aya, Jonah has been mentioned by preference to Aaron and Solomon, even though Jonah came after them; while God distinguished David by the Psalms in addition to the revelation.

However, Moses was not mentioned with the other prophets in the aya, because the question and answer was about Moses.

163 c Which is the book of David. The Psalms as a whole includes prayers and calling on God in secret: David prayed with it when he fled to the mountains, fearing of Talut [: Saul] who intended to kill him.

Aren't all of them prophets to whom God revealed; then why do Jews deny the revealing of the revelation to you, Mohammed? But all that is because of their ignorance and stubbornness.

164 d Neither in this soora nor in any other soora, because that requires many extensive books.
164 e Their prophet.
164 f Other than the revelation. That event took place in the Valley of Tuva in the wilderness of Sinai, from the olive tree; so Moses heard the voice come out of the tree, but God was not in the tree; He sent the voice from heaven to that tree on the ether waves, so the voice came out of the tree, as do you hear the voice of the radio set, but the news broadcaster is in Cairo or in another place far away from you; and this only is a parable.
God – be glorified – said in the Quran 42: 51, which means:
(It was not for any mortal that God should [directly] speak to him, unless [He might speak to him] by revelation, or from behind a veil.)
So the "veil" here was the tree.

THIRD:

The purpose from sending the messengers (or apostles):
In the next aya 4: 165, which means:

{165. Messengers [: Apostles] that were: bearers of glad news g, and warners h; so that people should have no argument against God, after [sending] the apostles [to them]; God is All-Mighty i, Most Wise j.}
........................................................................

165 g Of Paradise to any who believes.
165 h Of punishment for any who disbelieves.
165 i In His kingdom; He takes revenge on those who deny His apostles.
165 j Concerning His affairs and creatures.

if the god of the bible or koran were real, he'd let you all know what he wants in no uncertain terms.

The fact that anyone has to interpret anything is proof that man created god.

We have to know our teachers and their grades.

Anyhow in another aya of the Quran, it is explained that not all the apostles or messengers are the same level or rank: they differ according to their degree of faith, certainty of belief, their work and striving in God's way:

Quran 2: 253, which means:
{These are [the tales of] the apostles [We relate to you; of whom] did We bless some more than others [by specifying him with some special criteria:]

Among them was [Moses] to whom God spoke [in the valley of Sinai],
and another one [: Idries: Elia] We raised [to certain high] degrees [of honor],
and We gave to Jesus, the son of Mary, the manifest miracles and We aided him by [Gabriel:] the Holy Spirit.}

This is not a good logic.
God explained fully the right way and the wrong way and tell man to choose .. yet, he guides only the one who is worthy of guidance who is not a wrong-doer and who is grateful to God's bounties.

Time to kick the Palestinians out and take back all the stuff they stole. We're passing on our good fortune and passing the savings on to you.
