Stories of the Prophets

Ibn Kathir, Hafiz

Biographies & Memoirs

Independently published

Although there are many better biographies about Prophets (peace be upon them), they are not completely accurate. Who were the eyewitnesses to such events? Or did the authors purposely misled the readers to present a negative view of the Prophets (peace and blessings be upon them). If you want an accurate of history, read Ibn Kathir. He wrote over 48 books and over 60,000 pages. He lived in a time when people feared God far more and died in a righteous state. For example, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was sent as a mercy NOT only to Mankind but to all the creations, and this includes all animals. His teachings further preserved the sanctity of animals and reinforced how people must honor and respect all of God's creation. Before you step on ant or harm a cat or dog, memorize the following Hadith: Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "An ant had bitten Prophet Uzair (peace be upon him), one of the Prophets sent to the Children of Israel. So he ordered that the colony of the ants be burnt. Then Allah revealed to him: "Because of an ant's bite you have burnt a community from amongst the communities which sings My Glory." And We have not sent you, except as a mercy to the Worlds.

Stories of the Prophets : Un-Abridged, Longer Version

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.
