Extracted from the celebrated Ibn Kathir’s al-Bidayah wa’n-Nihayah, Qasas al-Anbiya is a detailed look at the rich, lesson-filled lives of the Prophets, upon them be eternal blessings and peace. This classic work seeks to reconnect Muslims to the stories of Qur’an and the excellent example of the Prophets.
