I'm waiting to hear what Muslims say about that. I was just trying to figure out what question Muslims are supposed to be answering because there are two meanings for the word, prophet.
A great prophet is a prophet that transfers the word of god without any editing, and keeps his faith.
Prophet itself is a one word, it doesn't have two meanings (unless you mean the "rasool" & "nabee" debate).
A prophet receives, he then tells.
But prophets are two kinds, you have the "messenger prophet", and the "prophet".
Messenger = new stuff (like mohammad & jesus).
prophet only = renewal of old stuff.
