Abstract

This article is a comparative study of the infallibility of prophets as well as its nature and meaning in the Holy Qur’an and Testaments. While both acknowledge the infallibility of prophets in reception and dissemination of the divine message, the Holy Qur’an gives some instances of tark al-awlā (literally abandoning that which was better) committed by the prophets, and Testaments consider them to be prone to sins.
