Stories of the Prophets

Author's name: Fawzi Ghurab

The book "Stories of the Prophets" aims to present pioneering and unique models of advocacy, reform, education, and even civilization. Its heroes are men who have been liberated from the gravity of the earth to embrace the light of the Pleiades. They are men in whom all human virtues are gathered in their most perfect forms and most sincere meanings. They did not live for themselves or their desires, but - despite the challenges and tribulations - they spent their lives, and devoted their money and efforts to supporting the truth, refuting falsehood, and preserving human dignity, freedom, and happiness, in the shadow of servitude to God and following His guidance, far from the delusions of humiliation and submission to anyone other than God. They drew for people a sound and brilliant moral approach, which they embodied in themselves and their families, before presenting it to their nations.
In this book, I have tried to present the most prominent stations in the history of these chosen and righteous ones - may God’s prayers be upon them - relying in that on the Holy Qur’an and the authentic Sunnah of the Prophet, and then what was transmitted from that by trustworthy scholars, ignoring the Isra’iliyyat and weak narrations, no matter how strange or famous they are.
Each story of a prophet was concluded with a short discussion, followed by a presentation of the most important lessons learned from the story.
The work is characterized by an easy and interesting style that suits young people and beginners, without neglecting the needs of specialists. The book also features many beautiful drawings accompanying the text to achieve a clearer understanding of the meanings intended to be conveyed to the reader.
