This book deals with the important events of God's prophets and Messengers from Adam, the first prophet, to Jesus (peace be upon them all), compiling the stories from the Qur'an and the narrations of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) that have been authentically reported. Believing in all the Messengers and prophets of Allah is one of the pillars of faith in Islam. Denying any of them is a form of disbelief which if not repented leads to the hell-fire. Similarly, exaggerating about any of them beyond the honourable status that Allah, the Almighty, has given them, as the followers of many faiths do, is also wrong. {The Messenger [Muhammad] believes in what has been revealed to him from his Lord, as do the believers. Each one [of them] believes in Allah, His Angels, His books, and His Messengers. We make no distinction between any of His Messengers. And they say: We hear and we obey. [We seek] Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the [final] destination.} (Qur'an 12: 3) {So relate the stories that perhaps they will give thought.} (Qur'an 7: 176) The renowned commentator on the Qur'an, expert in Hadith, and historian, Ismeel ibn Katheer has compiled the Stories of the Prophets from the Qur'an and the narrations of the Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him) that have been authentically reported. The book is unique in its content, dealing with the important events of the prophets and Messengers with all authenticity right from Adam, the first prophet, to Jesus, peace be upon them all.
