Stories of the Prophets (Ibn Kathir)
In this book, the stories of the prophets have been compiled from
'Al-Bidayah wan-Nihayah' (The Beginning and the End) which is a great
work of the famous Muslim exegete and historian Ibn Kathir and has a
prominent place in the Islamic literature. The stories of the prophets
and all the events in their lives have been supported by the Qur'anic
Verses and the Sunnah (traditions) of the Prophet (S). Wherever it was
necessary, other sources have also been reported for the sake of
historical accounts, but on such places a comparative study has been
made to prove the authenticity of the sources. Ibn Kathir has reproduced
the views and interpretations of all the great exegetes of the Qur'an
of his time. The systemic narratives of the Stories of the Prophets have
been written in chronological order which renders a historical style to
the book.
