The Prophet distinguishes Mormonism from other Religions - altho his he exists in Islam as well.
The first Mormon Prophet was Joseph Smith who acquired this title from his followers after he published the Book of Mormon in 1830.
The Prophet has the ability to receive direct revelations from God, which his followers then write down and publish as the Word of God.
The Prophet has always been a man, altho in the practice of Glossolalia (speaking in tongues) both sexes can participate.
Hymns can also be received, the most famous of which is "Come, come ye Saints" received by Brigham Young, the second Prophet of Mormonism.
