Almighty Allah sent prophets to guide mankind to the right path and forbid them from sins. Thus, the prophets precisely performed this holy mission they received from Allah by staying away from sins so that they would set an example to their ummah. However, since the prophets are human, sometimes, they also made some slight mistakes; and it is stated in the Qur’an that they therefore were warned due to these mistakes. As can be understood from the verses, the warnings made to the prophets are not related to their prophethood but to their abandonment better decision based on their direct ijtihad. As a result, it is clear that Allah did not leave them on their mistakes but warned them in the right direction. And, in the face of these warnings, the prophets also attained perfection by turning to the truth without showing slightest negligence. In this study, the concept of itâb and the views of Kalam sects related to conceptual content of virtue attribute, one of the most effective agents in comprehending the warnings made to the prophets was initially investigated, and then, the verses in which warnings are clearly mentioned in Qur’an about prophets such as Adam, Noah, Moses, David, Solomon and Jonah, who made faults and regretted them, were tried to be analyzed without engaging in sectarian disputes as much as possible.
