Description
{“O my people! Worship Allah! You have no god other than Him!”}Every prophet and messenger sent to humankind had the same basic message. All of them invited people to the worship of Allah alone. In the current age of individualism, one’s wishes and desires are considered above everything, sometimes even above the command of Allah, the Exalted. In this context, when an average individual reads about the prophets, he/she goes through their messages and incidents rather cursorily. There seems to be a veil of sorts, wherein the reader feels rather disconnected from these incidents and does not understand their relevance to his/her day-to-day life.
This is where Ibn Katheer’s comprehensive work, Stories of the Prophets, comes in. One of the most widely-read books of this highly acclaimed scholar, it details the lives of those prophets who have been mentioned in the Qur’an – either by name or by reference.
Along with the related Qur’anic verses and hadiths, each chapter brings to light the very human aspect of all the prophets, making them come alive for the reader. The minute details ensure that you, as a reader, are inspired from their personalities, understand the underlying meaning of their message and regard them as role models in your personal lives.
This new and completely revised edition is made more helpful to the modern-day reader by the inclusion of an appendix listing useful websites that provide reliable information on Allah’s prophets. Whether you are a student learning more about the prophets, a researcher looking for authentic references or simply an individual looking for a 'light read', this book is for you. ISBN:9786035010924
