A messenger is called a rasul; messengers are associated with bringing Allah’s revealed scripture. Muslims believe that messages are usually communicated to prophets through angels, and the prophets then share them with people. Revelation, angels, prophets and holy books are therefore connected beliefs, rather than separate ideas with no relationship to one another.
