Quran 21:7~9 (Ayah Al-Anbiya)
We did not send ˹messengers˺ before you ˹O Prophet˺ except mere men inspired by Us. If you ˹polytheists˺ do not know ˹this already˺, then ask those who have knowledge ˹of the Scriptures˺. We did not give those messengers ˹supernatural˺ bodies that did not need food, nor were they immortal. Then We fulfilled Our promise to them, saving them along with whoever We willed and destroying the transgressors. Quran 21: 7~9 Surah Al-Anbiya (The Prophets)

وَمَآ أَرْسَلْنَا قَبْلَكَ إِلَّا رِجَالًۭا نُّوحِىٓ إِلَيْهِمْ ۖ فَسْـَٔلُوٓا۟ أَهْلَ ٱلذِّكْرِ إِن كُنتُمْ لَا تَعْلَمُونَ ٧ وَمَا جَعَلْنَـٰهُمْ جَسَدًۭا لَّا يَأْكُلُونَ ٱلطَّعَامَ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ خَـٰلِدِينَ ٨ ثُمَّ صَدَقْنَـٰهُمُ ٱلْوَعْدَ فَأَنجَيْنَـٰهُمْ وَمَن نَّشَآءُ وَأَهْلَكْنَا ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ ٩
The basic theme of the Surah is Prophets and Prophethood as indicated by the name itself. All Prophets were human beings. They suffered at the hands of their enemies. Allah also tested them, but they always trusted Allah and lived according to His command. They were people of prayers and devotions and Allah listened to their prayers.
سورة الاٴنبیَاء اور اے محمدؐ، تم سے پہلے بھی ہم نے انسانوں ہی کو رسول بنا کر بھیجا تھا جن پر ہم وحی کیا کرتے تھے تم لوگ اگر علم نہیں رکھتے تو اہلِ کتاب سے پوچھ لو ﴿۷﴾ اُن رسُولوں کو ہم نے کوئی ایسا جسم نہیں دیا تھا کہ وہ کھاتے نہ ہوں، اور نہ وہ سدا جینے والے تھے ﴿۸﴾ پھر دیکھ لو کہ آخرکار ہم نے ان کے ساتھ اپنے وعدے پُورے کیے، اور انہیں اور جس جس کو ہم نے چاہا بچا لیا، اور حد سے گزر جانے والوں کو ہلاک کر دیا ﴿۹﴾
