Note 13 — THE NATURE OF MAN[12]

This word is used both for Rasul and Nabi, but the Muslim notion of Rasul differs from that of Nabi. Malachi was a prophet (Nabi), but Moses was more than a prophet (Rasul). Thus in St. Matthew XI. 9 we have: “But wherefore went ye out? to see a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet”.
