owidctlpar\cf1\lang1033\f0\fs28 The veracity of the claims of the prophets can be verified in three ways:
\par
\par Firstly, through reliable signs such as honesty and truth.Similarly, by creating no deviation from the path of God and justice during their life. However, this way of distinguishing the prophets (AS) is applicable to those who have lived among people for several years and their way of life is known to their society. However, ifa Prophet is appointed by God in his early youth or the people of a society know very little about his personality or way of life, such clues may not be helpful in recognizing the person's honesty in his claim.
\par
\par Secondly, through introduction by previous or contemporary prophets. This is relevant to the people who have distinguished the previous Prophet and are aware of his prediction. This however is obviously not applicable to the first Prophet.
\par
\par Thirdly, through miracles which can have a wider and more popular application.
