Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you well. Who are the Ulul 'Azm?

Answer:
It was said that all the messengers, (peace and blessings be upon them all), are among the resolute ones, and it was said that only five of them are the resolute ones: Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), Ibrahim, Nuh, Musa, and Isa. These are the ones mentioned in the statement of Allah the Exalted:
when We took from the prophets their covenant and from you and from Noah and Abraham and Moses and Jesus, the son of Maryأَخَذْنَا مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ مِيثَاقَهُمْ وَمِنكَ وَمِن نُّوحٍ وَإِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ وَعِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ
[Al-Ahzab 33:7]
and in His statement:
He has ordained for you of religion what He enjoined upon Noah and that which We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus - to establish the religion and not be divided therein.شَرَعَ لَكُم مِّنَ الدِّينِ مَا وَصَّىٰ بِهِ نُوحًا وَالَّذِي أَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْكَ وَمَا وَصَّيْنَا بِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُوسَىٰ وَعِيسَىٰ أَنْ أَقِيمُوا الدِّينَ وَلَا تَتَفَرَّقُوا فِيهِ
[Ash-Shuraa 42:13]
. According to the well-known view among the scholars, these five are the resolute ones. Yes.
