A unique feature of the book is that it not only deals with past events, but also talks about future events mentioned by Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) until the Day of Judgment.
1. Stories of Prophets
In
this book, the stories of the prophets have been compiled from
'Al-Bidayah wan-Nihayah' (The Beginning and the End) which is a great
work of the famous Muslim exegete and historian Ibn Kathir and has a
prominent place in the Islamic literature. The stories of the prophets
and all the events in their lives have been supported by the Qur'anic
Verses and the Sunnah (traditions) of the Prophet (S). Wherever it was
necessary, other sources have also been reported for the sake of
historical accounts, but on such places a comparative study has been
made to prove the authenticity of the sources. Ibn Kathir has reproduced
the views and interpretations of all the great exegetes of the Qur'an
of his time. The systemic narratives of the Stories of the Prophets have
been written in chronological order which renders a historical style to
the book.

Description from the Publisher
Like
everything, the present universe will also come to an end, and it is a
part of our faith to believe in the Last Day. The signs of the Day of
Judgment have been foretold by our Prophet (S). Ibn Kathir has collected
all the prophesies of the Prophet (S) in his book Al-Bidaayah
wan-Nihaayah.
In this volume, we have presented from them the
signs of the Hour and the events that are yet to take place, although
mentioning very few examples of those prophesies that have already been
realized.
Introduction
O Allah, send prayers and
salutations on Muhammad, his family, and his Companions. This is the
Book of The End: Great Trials and Tribulations. It deals with what the
Prophet informed us about regarding the signs of the Hour and the great
events that are to take place before the Day of Judgment, all of which
we must have faith in, because the Prophet spoke not from desire, but
from revelation.
Abu Moosa Al-Asharee related that the Messenger
of Allah said, 'This nation of mine is one upon which there is mercy;
there is no punishment upon it in the Hereafter; its punishment is in
this world - with trials, earthquakes, and killings.'
Hitherto in
our discussion on the unseen past, we covered in detail events that
pertain to the beginning of the world, the stories of the prophets, and
the history of peoples until our era. Then we discussed the biography of
the Prophet (S) mentioning his characteristics and the proofs of his
prophet hood. Then we covered some events that the Prophet prophesized
about and that have already taken place before our century. When we gave
an account of events that took place after the Prophet's death, we
pointed out those occurrences about which a Hadeeth gave information.
Since we already mentioned those prophesies that have already become
realized and since it would be too long to repeat them all here, we will
suffice by mentioning only a few examples, after which we will return
to the main theme of this work. And we seek help from Allah
Or
do ye think that ye shall enter the Garden (of bliss) without such
(trials) as came to those who passed away before you? they encountered
suffering and adversity, and were so shaken in spirit that even the
Messenger and those of faith who were with him cried: 'When (will come)
the help of Allah.' Ah! Verily, the help of Allah is (always) near!
{TM Qur'an 2:214}
7. Miracles & Merits of Allah's Messenger
Darussalarn
is proud to present the abridged English translation of the classic
work: Al-Bidayah wan Nihayah. This book focuses on the events that took
place after the death of the Messenger of Allah, such as the choosing of
Abu Bakr as the Caliph, the ghusl of the Prophet and his burial.
The
book then discusses the blessed and beautiful characteristics and
merits of the Prophet and then goes on to describe the miracles that he
performed. Ibn Katheer than compares the miracles given to Prophet
Muhammad with those that were given to the other Prophets; he then shows
that Prophet Muhammad collectively received the same miracles that were
granted to the other Prophets separately.
AI-Bidayah wan Nihayah
(The Beginning and The End), by the renowned scholar Abu Al-Fida 'Imad
ad-Deen Isma'eel bin 'Umar ibn Katheer, is considered as one of the most
authoritative sources on Islamic History.
8. Caliphate of Banu Umayyah
Darussalam
is proud to present the abridged English translation of the classic
work: Al-Bidayah wan Nihayah, which covers the Caliphate of Bani
Umayyah. It starts from the rule of Mu'awiyah bin Abi Sufyan in the 41st
year of Hijrah upto the rule of Caliph Marwan Al-Himar in year 132 of
the Hijrah.
The Umayyad Caliphate بنو أمية (c. 661-750 CE/41-132
AH) was the second of the four major Islamic caliphates established
after the death of Rasulallah. Although the Umayyad family originally
came from the city of Makkah, their capital was Damascus. At its
greatest extent, it covered more than five million square miles
(13,000,000 km2), making it one of the largest empires the world had yet
seen, and the seventh largest contiguous empire ever to exist.
