In Islam, Nubuwwah (Arabic: نبوة‎) means "Prophethood" and denotes that God has appointed perfect Prophets and Messengers to teach humanity God's religion. Nubuwwah is among the five Shi'a Roots of Religion.
Muslims believe that the prophets and messengers (Adam being the first prophet and Muhammad the last)are appointed by Allah.
