About

The Holy Qur’an is greatest miracle given to mankind, it is the source of guidance for all. The guidance in the Qur’an comes in different forms, appealing to all segments of people. Scholars divide the content of the Qur’an into three broad topics law, theology and stories. So a third of subjects in the Qur’an are stories, it is also in terms of content one of the greatest aspects of the Qur’an.

The Qur’an is the word of Allah, sent to his chosen Prophet Muhammad who endeavoured with all his might and strength to convey and explain it to the world. He explains to the whole world its inherent wisdom and admonition. The Holy Qur’an, howver, recounts a number of stories that took place throughout far-remote points of history which are full of events that one’s eyes and mind canot fail to grasp its admomition and advice. These admonitions and advice, if seriously considered, can verify and restore to the right course a great number of false beliefs and concepts. Allah the Al Mighty says:

“Thus We relate to you (O Muhammad) some information of what happened before. And indeed We have given you from Us a reminder (this Qur’an).” [Ta-Ha 99].

A good story always penetrates the heart of the listener, and leaves impact on his mind. The stories are of great. The Qur’anic stories cover the stories of righteous people, evil people and general stories all full of lessons that are directly relevant to our Dunia and the Hereafter.

The stories offer us today many lessons, but more importantly they were revealed during the life of the Prophet. And if one was to analyse the seerah in line with the revelation of these stories, they will find that there was a unique reason for revelation, in most cases it was to consolidate the heart of the Prophet, to offer him compassion in the most difficult of times.

“We have sent it as such in stages so We may reassure your heart with it. And we have revealed it at a deliberate pace”. [25:32]

These stories gave the Prophet Muhammad motivation and a vision to work towards
