Stories of the Prophets: Un-Abridged, Longer Version - Paperback

by Hafiz Ibn Kathir (Author)

Although there are many better biographies about Prophets (peace be upon them), they are not completely accurate. Who were the eyewitnesses to such events? Or did the authors purposely misled the readers to present a negative view of the Prophets (peace and blessings be upon them). If you want an accurate of history, read Ibn Kathir. He wrote over 48 books and over 60,000 pages. He lived in a time when people feared God far more and died in a righteous state. For example, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) was sent as a mercy NOT only to Mankind but to all the creations, and this includes all animals. His teachings further preserved the sanctity of animals and reinforced how people must honor and respect all of God's creation. Before you step on ant or harm a cat or dog, memorize the following Hadith: Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "An ant had bitten Prophet Uzair (peace be upon him), one of the Prophets sent to the Children of Israel. So he ordered that the colony of the ants be burnt. Then Allah revealed to him: "Because of an ant's bite you have burnt a community from amongst the communities which sings My Glory." And We have not sent you, except as a mercy to the Worlds.
