Do Muslims believe in prophets.
In Islam believing in prophets is a tenant of faith meaning you cannot be a Muslim if you do not believe in any one of the prophets.The prophets all came with the same message of tauhid( worshipping Allah alone with no partners and no intercessors).
Why has God sent prophets?
Islam teaches that God has sent prophets to humanity, in different times and places, to communicate His message. Since the beginning of time, God has sent His guidance through these chosen people. They were human beings who taught the people around them about faith in One Almighty God, and how to walk on the path of righteousness. Some prophets also revealed God's Word through books of revelation. Source : http://islam.about.com/od/prophets/p/prophets.htm
