Glossary Term
Risk: High- Approved rendering
- نبي
- Transliteration
- nabī
Prophet
Correct and Quran-affirmed (Jesus is a nabi in Islam too), but risks readers stopping at ‘prophet’ the way Islam’s khatam an-nabiyyin (seal of the prophets) doctrine treats Muhammad as superseding and finalizing all prior prophetic revelation. Must be paired with fuller Christological titles so ‘prophet’ is not read as Jesus’s complete or final identity.
