Prophets + Messengers are best described in the Glorious Quran as Landmarks and their successors by Stars.
"And landmarks (waymarks); and by the stars they (people) are guided to the right way" (16:16).
That's right: God enlightened heavens and the earth with Prophets + Messengers + their successors
whose Houses (of knowledge + worship) reflect His light as stated in (2:189), (10:87) and (24:35-36):
__________
God is the Light of the heavens and the earth; the likeness of His Light is as a niche wherein is a lamp;
the lamp in a glass; the glass as it were a glittering star kindled from a Blessed Tree, an olive that is
neither of the East nor of the West whose oil wellnigh (almost) would shine, even if no fire touched it;
—Light upon Light(*)—

Like Joseph, Prophet + Messenger Mohammed (peace be upon them) was indeed created in the fairest stature
and surely upon a mighty morality. But sadly God's enemy still says that the word "Hamma" in (12:23-4)
is applicable to both Joseph and the wife of Eygptian Aziz, whereas the fact of the matter "Hammat bihi"
means she was trying to pull him while "Hamma bihah" means he was trying to push her away.
It is not the eyes that are blind, but blind are the hearts within the breasts. (22:46)
