The Prophets – as told in the Holy Quran by Marina Ismail

The Prophets – as told in the Holy Quran by Marina Ismail tells the stories of the lives and times of all the 25 Great Prophets of Islam from Adham (Adam) to Muhammed  (OWBP), as revealed in the Holy Quran. The Holy Quran relates the stories of these Prophets and Messengers; their good character, their piety and their trust in Allah.

 

These are valuable lessons for humanity and are role models for all. Muslims believe that Allahsent 124,000 Messengers to the world. Of the Messengers only 25 are mentioned in the Holy Quran; they include the 4 Prophets who were given the Scriptures.

 

Marina says that the thought of compiling this Book came about as a result of the

numerous questions posed by her young grandsons about the Prophets of Islam. Thus children would benefit immensely by reading about them.

 

Marina has dedicated the Book for her parents Dr. A.M.A. Azeez and Ummu Khulthum and for her 4 grandsons.
