Stories of the Prophets
Compiled by Imam Imaduddin Abul-Fida Ismail Ibn Kathir
Translation by Rashad Ahmad Azami
In this book, the stories of the prophets have been compiled from 'Al-Bidayah wan-Nihayah' (The Beginning and the End) which is a great work of the famous Muslim exegete and historian Ibn Kathir and has a prominent place in the Islamic literature. The stories of the prophets and all the events in their lives have been supported by the Qur'anic Verses and the Sunnah (traditions) of the Prophet (S). Wherever it was necessary, other sources have also been reported for the sake of historical accounts, but on such places a comparative study has been made to prove the authenticity of the sources. Ibn Kathir has reproduced the views and interpretations of all the great exegetes of the Qur'an of his time. The systemic narratives of the Stories of the Prophets have been written in chronological order which renders a historical style to the book.
Allah the Most Exalted says in the Qur'an:
"We are relating unto you the most beautiful of stories in that what We have revealed to you from the Qur'an, though before it you were from among those who were not aware of them." (12:3)
"We have indeed sent aforetime Messengers before you, of them there are some whose stories We have related to you, and whose stories We have not related to you..." (40:78)
"We relate to you the important news of their story in truth..." (18:13)
"And all that We relate to you of these stories of the Messengers, We strengthen with them your heart. Through them there come to you the truth as well as admonition and reminder to all those who believe." (11:120)
"There is, indeed, in their stories lessons for people endowed with understanding. It is not any invented tale, but a confirmation of what went before it, and a detailed exposition of all things, and a guide and a mercy to the people who believe." (12:111)
"...so relate the stories, perhaps they may reflect." (7:176)

Sat gambuj mosque

-
The  Saturday  Gambuj  house of worship  (Bengali: সাত গম্বুজ মসজিদ, lit. 'Seven  rounded  Mosque')  is found   close to  the north-western outskirts of  national capital   within the  Jafarbad  space . The  house of worship  illustrates a fine example of the provincial mughal  type of   design  introduced in  Asian country   within the   seventeenth  Century. The mosque's most notable  options   square measure  its seven bulbous domes crowning the roof and covering  the most  prayer hall.  most likely  erected by Governor Shaista Khan, the monument stands  in a very  romantic setting on a  braced  15'-0" high bank  commanding   an in-depth  floodplain.
