148. Allah has decreed: Surely, it is I who will prevail, I and. My Messengers. Verily Allah is Powerful, Mighty. (58:22). PROPHETS ARE HUMAN BEINGS وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا مِن قَبْلِكَ إِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوحِي إِلَيْهِم مِنْ أَهْلِ الْقُرَى. Allah said to Muhammad: 'And We sent not before thee as Messengers any but men to whom We sent revelation, from among the people of the towns'. (12:110) وَلَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنَا رُسُلًا مِّن قَبْلِكَ وَجَعَلْنَا لَهُمْ أَزْوَاجًا وَذُرِّيَّةً. And indeed We sent Messengers before thee and We gave them wives and children. (13:39) وَمَا أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ إِلَّا إِنَّهُمْ لَيَأْكُلُونَ الطَّعَامَ وَيَمْشُونَ فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ. And We did not send any Messengers before thee but surely they ate food and walked in the streets. (25:21) وَمَا جَعَلْنَهُمْ جَسَدًا لَا يَأْكُلُونَ الطَّعَامَ وَمَا كَانُوا خَلِدِينَ. Nor did We give them bodies that ate not food, neither were they to live for ever. (21:9)
