The first Muslim

[zara]

Assalamu Alaikum,

When the prophets in the Quran say they are the first to surrender in verses like;7.143,6.14,and 6.163, are they just referring to being the first in their community?

[Sardar Miyan]

Yes the messengers were the first to become first to accept Allah's command what is the dought? I am
unable to understand as to do you mean other than this fact ? Can you please explain your thought
about these Ayaat? Thanks

Yes, it means the first in their community. The verse about Muhammad being the first to surrender also says "and I am not of the idolaters." This signals that he was the first among those particular idolaters to surrender.

[Sardar Miyan]

Yes it is what mia666 said that Prophets Musa and MOHAMMAD were the first believers as they were
first to be conferred messengership on them and all the other believers were added to become Ummah.
