Difference between a NABI and RASUL?

RELATED READING BOOKS 

The terms Nabi and Rasul are both used in Islam to refer to a prophet. However, there is a subtle difference between the two terms. Nabi means "prophet" in Arabic. It refers to a person who has been chosen by Allah to receive revelation and guidance for the people. Nabis are not required to have a scripture or law, but they are expected to live a righteous life and teach others about Allah's message. Rasul means "messenger" in Arabic. It refers to a prophet who has been given a scripture or law to deliver to the people. Rasuls are higher in rank than Nabis because they have been given a special responsibility to guide the people. In Islam, there are 124,000 Nabis, but only 25 Rasuls. The most important Rasul is Muhammad, who is considered the last and final prophet.
