Qassas Al-Anbiya (English) is the collection of all the events and stories about the Prophets of Allah in the Holy Quran by Imam Imaduddin Abdul-Fida Ismail Ibn Kathir Ad-Dimashqi. It covers all the Prophets from Adam to Eesa/Jesus - peace be upon them all. Prophet Idris (Enoch) was the second Prophet in Islam after Adam. He was the first person to Jihad and fought against corruption of Qabil (Cain). From mystics and soothsayers to madmen and mountebanks, prophets people many of my very favourite books and stories. Here are some of them.The essence of this point is that every idol from those earlier mentioned was worshipped by a certain group of people. Take on only as much as you can do of good deeds, for the best of deeds is that which is done consistently, even if it is little.” When Iblis saw their sorrow caused by his death, he disguised himself in the form of a man saying: ‘I have seen your sorrow because of this man’s death; can I make a statue like him which could be put in your meeting place to make you remember him?’ They said: ‘Yes.’ Noah’s people were divided into two groups after his warning. His words touched the hearts of the weak, the poor, and the miserable and soothed their wounds with its mercy. As for the rich, Prophets often appear in tragedies as beacons of the saddest sadness of all: that we are all fated to do the things that we do. From the Weird Sisters to Willy Wonka, prophets are employed by writers as the bearers of this very bad news. In Oedipus Rex, Sophocles’ blind prophet Tiresias is forced to tell tragic mother-effer Oedipus that he has no free will, and that “to his children he is both brother and father”. Like all prophets Tiresias is a lonely interloper in the world of normal time. “Alas,” he wails, “what misery to be wise.”

The story of Prophet Yunus (Jonah) was a difficult one. His commitment to Allah was questioned and he had to face the consequence of this. However, his story shows Allah’s mercy as if you are sincere in repentance then Allah will shower his Mercy. An unsettling example of writer, prophet and protagonist collapsing into one character.

Obsessed with the historical account of a group of samurai who performed seppuku in the aftermath of a failed coup, Isao organises his own plot to assassinate a group of prominent capitalists.

In one he is killed by a venomous snake and at the same time has a realisation: “I was not meant to die like this. I was meant to die by cutting open my stomach.” At the novel’s conclusion, Isao assassinates the capitalist Kurahara and then performs seppuku. A year after the publication of Runaway Horses Mishima himself staged an ill-fated coup and followed suit. Prophet Nuh (Noah) is a story about disbelievers.

Prophet Yusuf (Joseph) had a dream that he was destined for greatness. Yet his life was filled with had adversity and difficulty. It seemed everything would not go his way, he was betrayed by his brothers, sold as slave, and unjustly imprisoned. Yusuf could have chosen to be bitter and question his fate by asking Allah, what happened to my dreamdestined for greatness? He could have easily complained “why do these things keep happening to me” as many of us would. But he knew better…The prophet at the heart of Tressell’s masterpiece is Frank, a socialist agitator who spends most of the novel trying and failing to rouse the slumbering lions of labour. We and he can see what has gone wrong in the penury-stalked world of unfettered, early 20th-century capitalism. But his fellow characters – mainly – cannot. Owen leaves the scene at the end of the novel to seek more fertile ground for his message. It ends, however, with a remarkably eschatological epilogue: “Mankind … is at last looking upward to the light… that will be diffused throughout all the happy world from the rays of the risen sun of Socialism.”

After sometime, however, people began to worship these statues.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)
