Quran – 3:145

وَمَا مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٌۭ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِهِ ٱلرُّسُلُ ۚ أَفَإِي۟ن مَّاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ ٱنقَلَبْتُمْ عَلَىٰٓ أَعْقَـٰبِكُمْ ۚ وَمَن يَنقَلِبْ عَلَىٰ عَقِبَيْهِ فَلَن يَضُرَّ ٱللَّهَ شَيْـًۭٔا ۗ وَسَيَجْزِى ٱللَّهُ ٱلشَّـٰكِرِينَ

And Muhammad is only a Messenger. Verily, all Messengers have passed away before him. If then he die or be slain, will you turn back on your heels? And he who turns back on his heels shall not harm Allah at all. And Allah will certainly reward the grateful.

[Quran 3:145]

The Holy Quran in the Surah Aal-e-Imran chapter 3 verse 145 very explicitly says that ALL messengers before Prophet Muhammad (sa) have passed away, this applies to every messenger including Jesus (pbuh). The use of ال (known as Istagraq in arabic grammer) in the word in the verse ٱلرُّسُلُ shows that ALL messengers are included in this verse. Just like ال in ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ means ALL praise belongs to Allah and not just “some praise” like wise is the case with ٱلرُّسُلُ in 3:145 it means ALL messengers.
