الرسول و النبي : بين القائلين بالمرادفة و القائلين بالمغايرة

Abstract EN

This work consists of introduction, three chapters and conclusion.

The first chapter deals with the meaning of the two words " Rasul and Nabi " in the lexicology and Islamic terminology.

The second chapter deals with the using of the two words " Rasul and Nabi " in the Holy Quran and the tradition of prophet Muhammad " peace be upon him " then I presented the opinions of the theologians who said that the two words are synonym, and the theologians who said that the two words are different in the meaning.

The third chapter deals with the analysis of the opinions of the theologians and the basis upon which they founded their opinions.

Then I concluded that the two words " Rasul and Nabi " in the Islmic terminology are synonymous, but in the Arabic lexicology are different, because the word " Rasul " is used to mean an angel or to mean a human messenger " Nabi ", but theword " Nabi " is used just to mean a human messenger who is sent by God, therefore I concluded that every " Nabi " must be Rasul " but not every " Rasul " could be " Nabi " because the word " Rasul " is used to the angle also.
