What's the difference between Anbiya and Nabiyeen?

[Euphoric]

Has anyone looked into this? Both words are plural and used in the Quran but translated as PROPHETS, which is a mistake. These are two different words.

For example,

3:112 they killed the Anbiya without right. It doesn't say Nabiyeen.

33:40  Khaatama Nabiyeen not Anbiya.

[Euphoric]

I may have an answer.

The older prophets before the Tawrat were called Anbiya and the newer ones after the Tawrat were called Nabiyeen.  I'm gathering all the verses.

Peace..
Are you absolutely sure about your answer?  Did you thoroughly check?

4:163 Indeed, We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], as We revealed to Noah and the prophets(Nbeeyeen) 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].

It doesn't seems so..

But I do really appreciate for pointing out Two different type of words...  In sha Allah I will cooperate with your research... Let me go through...  Perhaps we may find a clue why perhaps not...God willing..

Note Euphoric :: I sense perhaps I am wrong.. But I feel death of prophets called anbia.. Or rather when a person is talking about dead prophets called Anbia.. But I am not sure.. Need conorehenve research..

I'm still looking this up, not sure yet.

If you read

3:84, it mentioned Eissa and the Nabiyoon...

5:20 Musa speaking in the past tense and says Anbiyaa not Nabiyoon/een

33:40 mentions Muhammad as Nabiyeen I haven't read him being from the Anbiyaa.

I checked all the verses of Anbiya  and Nabiyeen...
Every occurences  of Anbiya seems dead prophet.. And even in 5:20 though we have to deduce it it seems Musa us talking about immediate dead prophets to his people...
Anyway Allah never uses different words without intent.. Allah never kept justt letter on top of many chapters in vain. Similarly he may have reason why.. Even word Ibrahim written different ways.. Even the word salah is written in different ways.. Until exactly know why we can't conclude.. No more comments since I have no knowledge beyond it on these two words..

Here is my ten cents worth. I think that anbiya in 3/112 means Prophets , whereas Khataman-Nabiyeen in 33/40 means The Seal of Prophethood .

I have checked that too it could be a possibility

What I said about before and after Tawrat seems to be true and I haven't found anything I could use to disprove it.
