By Imam Hafiz Ibn Kathir. Translated by Rashad Ahmad Azami. 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 holds prominent place in Islamic literature. The Prophet's stories and life events are supported by the Qur'anic Verses and the Hadith. 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. Dar-us-Salaam Publications, Harback, Pages: 544.
