A History of the Prophets of Islam is a landmark work in English Islamic literature and the result of nearly a decade of careful scholarly research. Rooted firmly in the Qur’ān, this two-volume series presents the lives of the Prophets as conveyed through divine revelation, supported by authentic aḥādīth and the explanations of classical and contemporary scholars.
This first volume focuses on the Qur’ānic narratives of the early Prophets, presenting their stories with clarity, depth, and reverence. The accounts are enriched with scholarly commentary that helps readers understand the moral, spiritual, and historical significance of each Prophet’s mission. Extensive footnotes, occasional appendices, and maps provide additional context and bring the narratives to life.
Written for readers of all backgrounds and faiths, the book reflects the traditional Islamic understanding of the Messengers of Allah and their central role in guiding humanity and shaping civilisation.
Prophets covered in Volume One include:
Ādam, Nūḥ (Noah), Hūd, Ṣāliḥ, Ibrāhīm (Abraham), Ismāʿīl, Isḥāq (Isaac), Yaʿqūb (Jacob), Idris, Lūṭ (Lot), Yūsuf (Joseph), Ayyūb (Job), and Shuʿayb (peace be upon them all).
This volume is ideal for students of Islamic studies, families, and anyone seeking an authentic and well-referenced introduction to the lives of the Prophets as presented in the Qur’ān.
