Prophets in the Quran:
Usually in summary: the Quran is concise.
Some prophets and messengers stories are detailed, and others only just mentioned.
Some of the prophets are counted in categories: like those showing forbearance, and another category: those who migrated.
God said: He did not tell about all prophets and messengers: because they are so many.
Each messenger speaks the language of his people to whom he is sent.
All messengers and prophets invite people to believe in God as
One God without associate, peer, son, daughters or parents.
