No, the word "from" is a preposition.

Explanation:

A preposition is a word used to connect its object (a noun or a pronoun) to another word in the sentence; for example:

I just heard from my brother.
- The noun "brother" is the object of the preposition "from".
- The preposition "from" connects the noun "brother" to the verb "heard".

I received an email from him.
- The pronoun "him" is the object of the preposition "from".
- The preposition "from" connects the pronoun "him" to the noun "email".

A verb is a word for an action or a state of being.
A linking verb acts as an equal sign, the subject of the sentence is or becomes the object; for example:

My brother is a journalist with a news agency. (brother = journalist)
He was appointed chief of the bureau in Geneva. (he = chief)
