What is the difference between a Prophet and a Messenger?

Answer

In the name of Allah, a Prophet is only a Prophet and conveys the laws of the Sharia that were revealed to the Messenger(s) before him or during his lifetime. As for a Messenger, he is both a Prophet and carries a different set of laws, distinct from the Sharia of the previous Messenger(s). The differences between these Sharias are partial and not absolute. Allah knows best.
