Stories of the Quran

by Ibn Kathir

All Praise is due to Allah and much peace and many blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah, his family, his companions, his followers and those who disseminate his call until the Day of Judgment.
Here we are with the book Stories of the Qur'an by AI-Hafiz Isma" il Ibn Katheer Ad- Dimashqi (May Allah rest his soul), taking a tour throughout the stories mentioned in the Glorious Qur' an pertaining to which Allah the Almighty says: {Indeed in their stories, there is a lesson for men of understanding}. (Yusuf, 111) Yes, in order to find admonition, lessons and exemplary models!
This book of ours handles the stories that are cited in the Glorious Qur'an, gathered from the book titled, Al-Bidayah wan-Nihayah (The Beginning and the End). The book also covers a number of stories that were not included in Al- Bidayah wan-Nihayah, such as that of Harut and Marut. Also, stories of Allah's Prophets and Messengers (Peace be upon them all) are not included here as they are already detailed in Ibn Katheer's other book Stories of the Prophets.

Seriously, books like Sealed Nectar, The Stories of Prophets, and this one should be mandatory reading for all Muslims worldwide. Understanding the Noble Quran becomes much easier after reading these books, as they provide background information related to certain verses. I look forward to revisiting these books repeatedly so that the knowledge becomes ingrained in my body and soul, In Sha Allah.

Nice Collection

It is exactly as described - a book of stories found in the Quran based on traditional sources. I appreciate Project Ali for their work in compiling these stories into an eBook.

I found the book difficult to read. The stories of the Quran are the most beautiful and beneficial stories, they should have been narrated better.

Never thought of Quran the way after reading this amazing book. If Quran is a bit difficult for you to understand, this book works to pave the way to the understanding of the deep spirituality of Quran. Which as per my understanding is very much hidden from the world, maybe because of the political situation. Stories are simple and easy and interesting of course
