Stories of the Prophets by Ismâ‘eel ibn Katheer 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.
