Giving Examples Of Prophets To Normal Muslims
For the same reason as you mentioned, the criteria of accountability are different for prophets and non-prophets. A prophet has to face if he did any wrong or fails to fulfill the required level, let alone a sin, as we see in the case of the prophet Yunus, who was detained in the belly of a fish. One can imagine how horrible the experience would be. But ordinary people will be judged according to their knowledge, understanding, and excuses on the day of judgment. So if the prophet had the privilege of seeing what we believe as unseen, their job was much more difficult. As far as the conduct of the person is concerned, the prophet’s example is an epitome to follow, so that we may have a model to follow. However, we will not be judged whether we were as good as a prophet, but according to our capacity, that is how good we did.
