Stories of the Prophets by Ibn kathir (Deluxe Large Color Edition)

DESCRIPTION:

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 Scholar and historian Ibn Katheer and has a prominent place in 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 (peace be upon him). 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.  The systemic narratives of the Stories of the Prophets have been written in chronological order which renders a historical style to the book.
