Life and Times of The Messengers

Presenting the abridged English translation of the classic work: Al-Bidayah wan Nihayah (The Beginning and The End). Written by the renowned scholar Abu Al-Fida 'Imad ad-Deen Isma'eel bin 'Umar ibn Katheer, this series focuses exclusively on the delegations and expeditions undertaken in the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon Him). It is considered to be one of the most authoritative sources on Islamic history.

This volume consists of the stories of Prophet Musa, Samuel, Zakariyyah, Yahya, Eeesa (Jesus), Dhu’l Qarnayn, and Luqman. It also covers the children of Israa’eel (Bani Israeel), divine scriptures and past nations. The exact number of prophets and messengers sent by Allah is not known, but the Qur’an makes clear that all of the prophets were sent to various nations to preach Islamic monotheism. A unique feature of this series is that it not only deals with past events, but also talks about future events mentioned by Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings be upon Him) until the Day of Judgment. 

Please note: This is the 2nd installment of the series Al-Bidayah wan Nihayah.
