Answer:
How many Surah with
Prophets names
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is no one (no idol, no person, no
grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai,
nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Beloved Sister in Islam, to the best of our knowledge, of
the 114 total Surahs of the Glorious Quran, the following Surahs are recognized
by the name of the Noble Prophets of Allah:
- Surah
10 Yunus
- Surah
11 Hud
- Surah
12 Yusuf
- Surah
14 Ibraheem
- Surah
47 Muhammad
- Surah
71 Nuh
Beloved Sister, please do bear in mind that although the
Surahs were Revealed by the Lord Most High, the names of each of the Surahs
were not declared by Allah Subhanah but rather appointed by the Messenger of
Allah (saws) and the believers only as a form of recognition of that
Surah.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
Burhan
