What was the name of Noah's son who did not survive the Flood? Why
do Pharaoh and Haman build the Tower of Babel? For what reasons
does Moses travel to the ends of the Earth? Who is the 'Horned-One'
who holds back Gog and Magog until the Day of Judgement? These are
some of the questions answered in the oral sources and Quran
commentaries on the stories of the prophets as they are understood
by Muslims. Designed as an introduction to the Quran with
particular emphasis on parallels with Biblical tradition, this book
provides a concise but detailed overview of Muslim prophets from
Adam to Muhammad. Each of the chapters is organized around a
particular prophet, including an English translation of the
relevant verses of the Quran and a wide selection of classical,
medieval and modern Muslim commentaries on those verses. Quran
commentaries include references to Sunni and Shi'i sources from
Spain, Central Asia, the Middle East and Africa. An extensive
glossary provides an annotated list of all scholarly transmitters
and cited texts with suggestions for further reading.This is an
excellent book for undergraduate courses, and students in divinity
and seminary programmes. Comparisons between the Quran and Bible,
and among Jewish, Christian and Islamic exegesis are highlighted.
Oral sources, references adapted from apocryphal and
pseudepigraphical works, and inter-religious dialogue are all
evident throughout these stories of the prophets. This material
shows how the Quran and its interpretation are integral to a fuller
and more discerning understanding of the Bible and its place in the
history of Western religion.
