24. He Guides whomever He wills, and protects them, and keeps them safe, out of His
Excellence; and He leads astray whomever He wills, abases them, and tests them, out of His Justice.
25. All of them are subject to His Will – between His Excellence and Justice.
26. He is exalted above having partners or equals.
27. None can ward off His decree or delay His command or supersede His order.
28. We believe in all of this and are certain that everything comes from Him.
29. And [we believe and are certain] that Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) is His chosen slave and elect Prophet and His Messenger with whom He is well pleased.

Shaykh Muhammad Naasir ud-Deen al-Albaani: Know that every messenger [rasool] is a prophet [nabi] but not every prophet [nabi] is a messenger [rasool].
They [the scholars] have mentioned differences between a messenger and prophet, that you can see in Tafseer al-Aloosi (5/449-450) and others.
And I hold the most correct opinion that the messenger is the one who has been sent with a new legislation and the prophet who has been sent to confirm the legislation of who preceded them and they are, of course, ordered to convey it – as it is known that the scholars are ordered to convey, so the prophets are more likely to be, as is apparent.
