Moses is, according to tradition, the first prophet of Judaism. In Islam, Musa (Moses) is the most prominent prophet in the Qur’an, cited one hundred and thirty-six times.

The prophet Daniel, nicknamed “the Magus Balthazar of Babylon”, is one of the great prophets of the Hebrew Bible, and of the Old Testament. Daniel, in Arabic Daniyal, is generally considered by Shiite Muslims as a prophet. Several mosques are dedicated to him.
