Stories of the Prophets

Stories of the Prophets | قصص الأنبياء
By Imām Abū al-Fidāʾ Ismāʿīl ibn Kathīr (d. 774H)

One of the most beloved works in the Islamic library, Stories of the Prophets by the great Imām Ibn Kathīr compiles the accounts of Allāh's prophets and messengers — from Ādam ʿalayhis salām to ʿĪsā ʿalayhis salām — drawn from his monumental work al-Bidāyah wa al-Nihāyah (The Beginning and the End). Every story is grounded in Quranic verses, authentic aḥādīth, and the narrations of the Companions, with comparative analysis of historical sources to ensure reliability and accuracy.

From the creation of Adam to the trials of the Prophets of Banī Isrāʾīl, to the birth and mission of ʿĪsā ʿalayhis salām, each account is presented in chronological order with depth, clarity, and scholarly rigor. Ibn Kathīr carefully evaluates the Isrāʾīliyyāt narrations and distinguishes the authentic from the weak, making this the most reliable English compilation of prophetic stories available. An essential read for every Muslim household and an invaluable resource for students, educators, and anyone seeking to connect with the heritage of the prophets.

This edition is available in multiple leather cover colors.
