Messenger/Apostle/ Rasul (رسول)

Rasul (Messenger) is basically a Nabi (Prophet), but he is different from a Nabi as he is bestowed with a power from Allah Almighty to make amendments in the Shariah brought by a prior Prophet. Some Messengers have also been bestowed with Holy Books or Scriptures, like Prophet Adam , Prophet Abraham , Prophet Moses , Prophet David , Prophet Jesus and Prophet Muhammad . with Hence, every Rasul (Messenger) is a Nabi (Prophet) but not every Nabi (Prophet) is a Rasul (Messenger). Around 313 Rusul (plural of Rasul) have been sent to this earth.
