God Almighty sent more than one hundred thousand prophets or messengers to every group of people. All the messengers of God enjoy the same status. In the chapter Al-Baqarah (The Heifer), the Quran refers to these messengers:

The Messenger believes in what has been sent down to him from his Lord, and (so do) believers. They all believe in God and His angels, His scriptures, and His messengers. They say, “We do not differentiate between any of His messengers. We hear and obey. Grant us your forgiveness. Lord, to You we shall all return”. (2: 285).

The verse relates directly to the messengers or the prophets of God. It also has a broader significance that, everyone is worthy of respect, regardless of his creed or culture.

A healthy society is not necessarily uni-religious but one based on religious freedom and religious tolerance.
