I have a question. I need to know if its legal in Islam to novelize the life of any Prophet? I'm a writer and I want to write a novel not a biography for Prophets. Please help.

It`s not only legal, but a great act of worship when you do it for the sake of Allaah alone. And it has been a tradition of `ulama for ages. You can look for Qisas Al-Ambiyaa of Ibn Kathiir for example, and use it as a source of reference, and of cource QurĂ n as number one. Just make sure everything you report is established by evidence, and not from your literary imaginative fictive skills. But of course you can beautify the speech by your own way, but not by praising them as christians elevated the Messiah, and not by mentioning bad words with disrespect, such as the jews have done.
