 === List of Prophets? === 
 What are the conditions for getting onto the ""List of Prophets?"" Is there some sort of system for doing so?  I don't see why Luqman and Dhul-Qarnayan are excluded from the list of prophets, when both are mentioned in the Qur'an and are thus widely recognized as prophets. Luqman has a chapter of the Qur'an named after him, and is called, in the Qur'an,  ""one who Allah gave wisdom."" Dhul-Qarnayn is similarly praised in the Qur'an, and is described as having conversations with Allah and one whom ""Allah gave great power in the earth, and the ways and means to all ends."" These are the only people listed under ""Possible Prophets"" who are mentioned in the Qur'an, while the rest of the ""Possible Prophets"" are frivolous suggestions such as the silly idea that Buddha was a prophet of Islam.
