Stories Of The Prophets
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 (SAW). Ibn Kathir has reproduced the views and interpretations of all the great exegetes of the Qur'an of his time. The systemic narratives have been written in chronological order which renders a historical style to the book.qSS l'nby fy lqran lkrym hy qSS lSfw@ lkhlq wkhyrthm `l~ lTlq, fhm hd@ l`lmyn wrHm@ llh llns 'jm`yn, wm kn llh qS m qS mn qSS fy qran lkrym lltsly@ wltlhy, wnm j `Z@ w`br@ l'wly l'lbb, wj ythyr fy lnfs lt'ml wltfkr fy snn lHy@ wqw`d ljtm` lbshry wsyr@ lns `br lzmn wlmkn. wn kn rbn, tbrk wt`l~, 'n`m `lyn bn`m@ qSS Ty'f@ mn Hkyt l'nby w'qwmhm fnh ylft lnZr l~ 'n lmhm fy trykh hw'l l`Zm ' nqf `nd Hd l`Z@ wl`br@. wlqd tmthl lmfsr lHfZ bn kthyr mnhjan `lmyan bdy`an fy `rD hdh lqSS lqrany, Hwl fyh lbt`d `n khrft lsry'ylyt wkhz`blt lqSS w'kdhyb b`D lmw'rkhyn.wymkn tHdyd m`lm hdh lmnhj `l~ lnHw ltly: 'wlan ltzmh byrd kl m yt`lq blnby SHb lqS@ mn ktb llh t`l~, w'khbr lqran fy hdh lsyq hy l'khbr lmjzwm ySdqh `l~ wjh lyqyn mn dwn trdd. wlm yktf lmw'lf bdhlk bl wqf m` layt mHllan lh, mfsran lm`nyh, mt`mqan fy mGzyh, whw lmfsr lw`y bdqy'q ltfsyr.thnyan `nyth `ny@ kbyr@ bl'khbr wlathr lmrwy@ bsh'n hw'l l'nby `l~ `d@ mstwyt, fl'Hdyth y`n~ b`zwh l~ mSdrh, mnbhan `l~ SHyHh wsqymh fy kthyr mn l'Hyn, wlsry'ylyt dh wrdt fy lnS, fnh yrwyh fy Hdhr lmHdth lw`y blmrwyt, mbynan lGth mnh wm ymkn 'n ykwn fy Tr lmqbwl, wlathr yttb` m ylqy `l~ lnS shyy'an mn lDw lyDH GmD 'w twDyH mbhm. thlthan l`ny@ bllG@ l~ Hd m`qwl fyfsr m nb mn mfrdt, wyshrH m thql fhmh mn nSwS, whw yHml fy dhhnh `qly@ lGwy@ blyG@. rb`an blDf@ l~ dhlk klh ltslsl lmnhjy lmnTlq m` l'Hdth, m` shy mn lstTrd lmqbwl bhdf stkhrj l`Z@ wlwqwf m` fy'd@ hn, 'w shrd@ hnk.wktb qSS l'nby ldhy hw byn ydy lqry' hw jz mn ktb bn kthyr "lbdy@ wlnhy@", ntz`h kl Tb` lktb mstqlan mnh, flys hw mSnfan mstqlan fy 'Sl t'lyf wwD`h. wl'hmyth tmW l`tn bh `l~ hdh lnHw: 'wlan: l`ny@ bkhrj lnS khrjan SHyHan b`ydan `n l'khT m 'mkn dhlk, thnyan: tkhryj layt lqrany@, m` st`rD Gryb lmfrdt lty twjd fy layt, thlthan: tkhryj lmrwyt lmt`dd@, rb`an: shrH lmfrdt lGryb@ fy lnS klh tysyran llfhm wtHqyqan lhdf tbsyT lnS, khmsan: wD` `nwyn jnby@ lkl fkr@ jdyd@, lyshl `l~ lqry' mtb`@ tslsl l'Hdth wlstfd@ bm fy lktb mn fwy'd `lmy@ mtnw`@.
