Prophets & Nations

The prophets named in the Qurʾān, in the traditional order — each with the people they were sent to and their āyāt.

This is the well-known traditional order, not a dated timeline — the Qurʾān fixes no calendar dates for the earlier prophets, so none are invented here. Provisional, pending review.
