Moses[note 1] was a Hebrew prophet, teacher and leader,[2] according to Abrahamic tradition. He is considered the most important prophet in Judaism[3][4] and Samaritanism, and one of the most important prophets in Christianity, Islam, the Bahʼ Faith, and other Abrahamic religions. According to both the Bible and the Quran,[5] Moses was the leader of the Israelites and lawgiver to whom the prophetic authorship of the Torah (the first five books of the Bible) is attributed.[6]
