The Difference Between a Prophet and a Messenger

Question:
I seek forgiveness from Allah. So, what is the difference between a prophet and a messenger, and between a prophet who was given a Shari'ah and one who was not given a Shari'ah?

Answer:
A messenger is one who is commanded with a Shari'ah that was revealed to him, and he is ordered to convey it. He is revealed a Shari'ah and ordered to convey it, meaning to oblige people to follow it and to fight for it. This is the messenger. As for the prophet, he is sent with a Shari'ah from before, such as the prophets of the Children of Israel, who were sent with the Shari'ah of the Torah that Musa (peace be upon him) brought. They are sent with the Shari'ahs of the messengers. They may be revealed a specific revelation, but they do not bring an independent Shari'ah as the messenger brings. This is the difference between them. This is the difference between them. Yes.
