what is the difference between a Prophet and a Messenger?

What is the difference between a Prophet and a
Messenger?
I wonder what is the difference between
Nabi (prophet) and Rasul (messenger)?

 

Praise be to Allaah.

There are a number of views on this issue, one of which
is that of Ibn Taymiyah (may Allaah have mercy on him):

“A Prophet (Nabi) is one to whom Allaah reveals (yanbi’uhu)
something, and he passes on what Allaah has reveals to him. If he is sent with that to
those who go against the commandments of Allaah, to convey a message from Allaah to them,
then he is a Messenger. But if he follows a sharee’ah that came before him, and is
not himself sent to anyone to convey the message from Allaah to them, then he is a Prophet
and not a Messenger…” (al-Nubuwwaat, p. 255). Other
scholars add different details, but these are the most important of them. And Allaah knows
best.

Following note from Learning Quran online Blog 

 

Learn holy Quran online which it self states in it that only those who are learn quran and pure should touch the holy text: This is indeed a Quran in Arabic in a book well-guarded, which none shall touch but those who are clean (56:77-79).  One should make formal ablutions before handling or Quran reading and this the quran tutor should tell in his quran teaching when quran for kids lessons are going on. After intercourse or menstrual bleeding one should not touch the holy Quran or do quran recitation and also not do quran memorization until after bathing non-Muslim should not handle the sacred text, but may listen to Quran online or read quran translation or exegesis. With all these things in mind when one is not reading or reciting holy Quran it should be closed and stored in nice and clean place, it should never be placed on floor or in a bathroom and Muslim should focus on reading quran the tajweed quran and its rules with a proper institute.
