Summary/Abstract: In the Quran, as well as the belief in tawhid -which means the oneness ofAllah in terms of divinity, omnipotency and creating-, belief in the prophetsand in the afterlife also have an important place. He who believes in theprophet must also believe in what he conveys. And he who does not believe inthe prophet is not accepted within the religion. People need prophets. FindingAllah only through reason can’t save man from responsibility. After findingAllah by the help of his reason, the human being must know the necessities ofthat belief from its revelational sources and fulfill them. In this respect, sending prophets to the mankind is a divine favor and a blessing from Allah. Allahsent countless prophets during the history as a result of His grace. On the other hand there are deists who believe in Allah but do not accept the possibilityof prophethood, revelation and miracles. With an over reliance, they claimthat they also deny the necessity of prophethood by using a mathematicalinference. Islam is a reasonable religion. But yet, in this study we will try to prove that it is not right to understand all issues related to Islam within thescope of strict rules of reason and logic. One of these issues is the prophecy.
