Stories From The Hadith

The English Translation of the Urdu work, Qisas al-Hadith. Filled with incidents related in the books of hadith.

It will not be an exaggeration of facts if we say that this book is one of its kind. Mawlana Muhammad Zakariya Iqbal has produced a truly unique book in Urdu, Qisas al-Hadith, and stories from Hadith. The Urdu book is really very well received by the enthusiasts and now the English translation follows.

The stories within the covers include events from the lives of the Prophets including Sayyiduna Aadam, Salih, Ibrahim, Musa, Lut, and Dawood عليهم السلام.Events reflecting on the majesty of Allah, narratives that prove righteous deeds are rewarded, account of life which strengthen one's faith and belief, and stories from real life which show that misdeeds are punished. All the accounts are taken from Ahadith of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and sources are duly indicated. They are all authentic truly life accounts.

Mawlana Muhammad Zakariya Iqbal is a Fadil from Darul Uloom, Karachi and his vast knowledge was reflected in his style of writing and the choice of accounts. He has drawn from Arabic sources and brought a very useful book in Urdu which is now translated into English. We hope our readers will benefit from this effort. The book is a brainchild of the Publisher, who is always engaged in efforts to produce original books on subjects of interest and benefit to the Muslims. He got this idea from some Arabic books and decided to pass on their contents to the Urdu and English speaking people. He showed those books to Mawlana Muhammad Zakariya Iqbal and encouraged him to produce an Urdu book on that pattern. The result is before you.
