ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn ʿAwf (Arabic: عبد الرحمن بن عوف) ( c. 581–654) was one of the companions of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. One of the wealthiest among the companions, he is known for being one of the ten to whom Paradise was promised according to Sunni Muslims.
Early Muslims
The first two successors to Muhammad, Abu Bakr and Umar, were noted for their voluntary poverty. Abu Bakr was a rich merchant but after he became the companion of Muhammed he became poor because of the Quraish tribe's opposition.
The rise of Islam is intrinsically linked with the Prophet Muhammad, believed by Muslims to be the last in a long line of prophets that includes Moses and Jesus.
As a wealthy trader, Abu Bakr used to free slaves. Following his conversion to Islam in 610, Abu Bakr served as a close aide to Muhammad, who bestowed on him the title "al-Siddiq" ('the Truthful/Righteous').
Abdul Rahman bin Auf's (Radhiyallahu Anhu) business began with a capital of 2 or 4 dinars, from which his net worth grew to $605 billion.
Abu Bakr's compilation
Consequently, upon Umar's insistence, Abu Bakr ordered the collection of the hitherto scattered pieces of the Quran into one copy, assigning Zayd ibn Thabit, Muhammad's main scribe, to gather the written fragments held by different members of the community.
The five books of The Major Prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, and Daniel) cover a significant time span and present a wide array of messages.
David is one of the few Islamic Prophets who received Kingship as well. While other prophets preached during the reign of kings, David, in his time, was the king.
The prophet Jeremiah, who apparently chose not to have children, is the only prophet who did not marry. Even in biblical times, however, there were prescribed periods of sexual abstinence in connection with rituals and sacrifices and the prosecution of holy wars.
Although Muslims are limited to having only four wives at a time, Muhammad was exempted from this ruling and was allowed to have an unlimited number of wives and concubines. Muhammad's wives were not allowed to remarry after his death, including Aisha who was only 18 at the time.
Ibn 'Umar divorced his wife while she was having her menses.
Greed corrupted prophet Balaam; he sought wealth and lost his soul.
ʿAmr ibn Hishām al-Makhzūmī (Arabic: عمرو بن هشام المخزومي), (570 – 13 March 624), also called Abu Jahl (lit. 'Father of Ignorance') by Muslims, was one of the Meccan polytheist pagan leaders from the Quraysh known for his opposition towards the Islamic prophet Muhammad and the early Muslims in Mecca.
You can read about a very tired prophet in the Old Testament book of 1 Kings, Chapter 19. His name is Elijah, and he's the star of his own pity party. He also is exhausted. He tells God, "I have had enough Lord.

"The Four Friends", a term used in Sunni Islam to refer to the Rashidun, the first four Caliphs (namely Ali ibn Abi Talib, Abu Bakr, Umar ibn al-Khattab and Uthman ibn Affan)
Early Christian writers such as Tertullian, Irenaeus, and Hippolytus of Rome, have concluded that the two witnesses would be Enoch and Elijah, the two prophets who did not die because God "took" them according to other Biblical passages.
Noah, also known as Nuh (Arabic: نُوْحٌ, romanized: Nūḥ), is recognized in Islam as a prophet and messenger of God. He is one of the Ulu'l azm prophets. Noah's mission was to warn his people, who were plunged in depravity and sin.
A major theme is martyrdom of the prophets: six prophets are said to have been martyred.
Allah (SWT) selected 25 prophets to spread His messages.
The Prophet Muhammad disseminated the Koran in a piecemeal and gradual manner from AD610 to 632, the year in which he passed away. The evidence indicates that he recited the text and scribes wrote down what they heard.
Knowing that versions written in the Hebrew Bible and the Christian New Testament does predate the Quran, scholars recognize the borrowing from Persian, Jewish and Christian texts.
