About This Book
In this fourth volume, Umar Sulaiman al-Ashqar writes about the prophets and messengers Allah sent before Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and about the scriptures and teachings they brought. The translation into English is by Nasiruddin al-Khattab.
The book describes the role of the messengers in calling people away from Satan's misguidance and in strengthening the believers' bond with Allah. It gives the history of the earlier messages and the author's account of why they were changed or lost over time. It then turns to the sending of the final Prophet, the revelation of the Qur'an, and Allah's promise to preserve it. Qur'anic verses and hadith on these subjects are cited throughout.
