The Prophets – Their Lives, Our Lessons.

The stories of the Prophets are mentioned throughout the Qur’an and provide an insight into the key incidents in the lives of those chosen by Allah. In each of these incidents have been preserved timeless lessons for every person looking to follow in the footsteps of the most blessed of mankind. In this course we will study these important stories in order to reflect upon the lessons contained therein and implement what we have learned in order to better our own character and conduct. The legacy of Prophethood is something intrinsically linked to our faith and as such, we should all be familiar with the stories of our noble Prophets and how they apply to our own lives.

“Indeed in their stories, there are lessons for men of understanding” Yusuf:111

The Prophets of Allah are from the true elite of humanity, chosen and guided by Him as examples for us to follow. They faced challenges and disobedience from their people yet cared deeply for them and remained steadfast upon the truth. Don’t miss this important opportunity to study and reflect upon the lives of over a dozen Prophets in one weekend.

“Thus do we recite to you the stories of what had passed of old, and indeed We have given to you a reminder from Ourselves” TaHa:99
