Qassas Al-Anbiya (English) is the collection of all the events and stories about the Prophets of Allah in the Holy Quran by Imam Imaduddin Abdul-Fida Ismail Ibn Kathir Ad-Dimashqi. It covers all the Prophets from Adam to Eesa/Jesus - peace be upon them all.

In 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 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 (S). 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.

Allah the Most Exalted says in the Qur'an:

  • "We are relating unto you the most beautiful of stories in that what We have revealed to you from the Qur'an, though before it you were from among those who were not aware of them." (12:3)
  • "We have indeed sent aforetime Messengers before you, of them there are some whose stories We have related to you, and whose stories We have not related to you..." (40:78)
  • "We relate to you the important news of their story in truth..." (18:13)
  • "And all that We relate to you of these stories of the Messengers, We strengthen with them your heart. Through them there come to you the truth as well as admonition and reminder to all those who believe." (11:120)
  • "There is, indeed, in their stories lessons for people endowed with understanding. It is not any invented tale, but a confirmation of what went before it, and a detailed exposition of all things, and a guide and a mercy to the people who believe." (12:111)
  • "...so relate the stories, perhaps they may reflect." (7:176)

Asalaamu alaykum wa ramatullah. I was born & raised Catholic and reverted to Islam in 2018. Right before Ramadan I ordered a set of books from Darussalam. Alhamdulillah it’s been so beneficial for me. JAZAKH ALLAHU KHAYRAN to everyone at Darussalam. Brothers & sisters I know sometimes we want to save our $ and buy later... I’m not a rich man by any means I’m quite poor to be honest, but trust me spend in the name of ALLAH AZAWAJAL and your $ will seem like such a small thing when you learn from the ones who became before us, InshaAllah ameen. Asalaamu alaykum.

Excellent book

An excellent book that covers so much information. I learned many new & interesting facts about previous prophets that I had no idea about. This is a must read book for everyone... even non-Muslims.
Great but could be better
rating 5
Asalamu alaikum. Like others had mentioned already this book is great but it could be better. In the beginning of every chapter it writes all places where the prophet is mentioned and then again and again they repeat the same words where they are mentioned so the book becomes hard readable and it takes long time to read it. Wouldn't it be better to write just place where it's mentioned? For example: Prophet Isa is mentioned in: [here write all chapters and verses where he is mentioned]. After all it's a great book mashAllah.
Great translation
rating 5
This is a great translation of Ibn Kathir's work. Printing is good but I wish the paper had been slightly better quality. However, that s a personal preference and not worth taking a star off this product. It gives good references and is a good book to keep in your personal library and to teach with. I use this book as part of my curriculum for teaching.
Very informative

Must have

Truly informative! You get to know so much about the Stories of previous Prophets. And you also get to learn so many good lessons from their lives. A must for every Islamic Library.
My oft-read book

Second to the Quran, this is my oft-read book. Dar-us-Salam's publication and translation of 'Stories of the Prophets' is superb quality.
Amazing and great book
rating 5
Assalamu Alaikum, brothers and sisters. This is simply an amazing and great book for those who wish to learn the accurate stories of our Prophets [peace and blessings of Allah be upon them]. The book uses portions of the Quran and Ahadith to discuss issues surrounding the Prophets. Isra iliyat [Biblical stories] are frequently mentioned, but Ibn Kathir carefully describes the status of authenticity of most of them. It is a must buy for Muslims wishing to know our Prophets in further detail. Wassalamu Alaikum.
Extraordinary perspective
