Muslims believe in all of God's prophets, from Adam to Muhammad ﷺ. The Quran names 25 of them, including Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, Joseph, Jonah and Jesus, and says that God sent a messenger to every nation.
The fuller answer
Muslims honour all of them equally and do not separate between them. A Muslim who denies one of them is no longer a Muslim. After the name of each prophet, Muslims say 'peace be upon him'. The Quran retells many of their stories, such as Joseph's, Moses' struggle with Pharaoh and Abraham's building of the Kaaba.
The Quran says that all of them brought the same core message: worship God alone. Muhammad ﷺ is the last of them, 'the seal of the prophets', and no prophet will come after him. You can read the stories of the 25 prophets, taken only from the Quran, on this website.
Say, [O believers], "We have believed in Allah and what has been revealed to us and what has been revealed to Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the Descendants and what was given to Moses and Jesus and what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We make no distinction between any of them, and we are Muslims [in submission] to Him."
The Messenger has believed in what was revealed to him from his Lord, and [so have] the believers. All of them have believed in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers, [saying], "We make no distinction between any of His messengers." And they say, "We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination."
Muhammad is not the father of [any] one of your men, but [he is] the Messenger of Allah and last of the prophets. And ever is Allah, of all things, Knowing.
Indeed, We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], as We revealed to Noah and the prophets after him. And we revealed to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, the Descendants, Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron, and Solomon, and to David We gave the book [of Psalms].
