Question

How many prophets are there between Musa (Alaihi As Salaam) and I'sa (Alaihi As Salaam)?

Answer

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.

No doubt that there were several messengers (Prophets) between Prophet Moosa and Prophet Issa. We couldn’t determine exactly how many prophets were there between them. Ibn Katheer mentioned some of them in his book Al-Bidaya Wal-Nihaya, he named: Yush'e, Kalib Ibn Yufana, Hazqil Ben Yuzi, Dawud, Sulaiman, Ilyas, Al-Yassa , Samuel and others.

Allah knows best.
