Explanation

The six Surahs named after Prophets are: Surah Yunus (10), Surah Hud (11), Surah Yusuf (12), Surah Ibrahim (14), Surah Muhammad (47), and Surah Nuh (71). These Surahs are named after prominent Prophets of Islam, and each contains narratives or references related to the respective Prophet's life and mission. This is a commonly tested fact in Islamic Studies exams.

Good to know

The Quran contains 114 Surahs in total, and among them, six are explicitly named after Prophets. These Prophets are Yunus (Jonah), Hud, Yusuf (Joseph), Ibrahim (Abraham), Muhammad (PBUH), and Nuh (Noah). It is worth noting that other Surahs may mention Prophets in their content but are not named after them, such as Surah Al-Anbiya (The Prophets), which discusses multiple Prophets but is not named after a specific one.
