Books of Allah
Allah sent Prophets and Messengers to show us the right path.
Allah also sent books to help guide us. He sent them to his Messengers.
Allah sent the books to his Messengers through the Angel Jibra'il. These books are also called books of revelation. Revelation is called Wahi in Arabic.
Qur'an - The book sent down to the Last Prophet Muhammad (s)
Suhuf Ibrahim - The book given to Prophet Ibrahim (a)
Tawrah (Torah in English) was given to Prophet Musa (a)
Zabur (Psalms in English) was given to Prophet Dawud (a)
Injil (Gospel/Bible in English) was given to Prophet Isa (a)
The books are called Books of Allah (Kutubullah in Arabic).
Books given to Prophets before Muhammad (s) were either lost or changed by their followers.
The Qur'an is the complete book of guidance from Allah. It is with us today and has not been changed. Nothing has been added or taken away. There are people who memorise the whole Qur'an. These
people are called Hafidh . There are millions of Hafiz's in the world today.

Day of Judgement and the hereafter
Today billions of people live on earth. One day Allah will destroy everything and everyone.
Allah will then bring everyone back to life for the Day of Judgment, where every major and minor action, whether it was good or bad will be judged by Allah. Allah will reward people for their good deeds and punish them for their bad deeds.
Questions in the Grave
The first stage of the judgement is in the grave. The first thing a person will be asked will be:
Who is your Lord?
What is your religion?
Who is your Prophet?
Question regarding Salah
On the day of Judgment the first thing you will be asked about is your salah (5 daily prayers). Did you pray all your salah?
Further Questions
You will also be asked about five things:
1. your life and how you spent it,
2. your youth and how you used it,
3. your money/wealth and how you earned it
4. how you spent your money/wealth,
5. how you acted upon what you acquired of knowledge.
So the wise person will prepare themselves to answer these questions.
If your good deeds outweigh your bad then you will enter paradise. But if your bad deeds outweigh your good then you will enter hell fire.

Prophet Muhammad
(Peace be upon him)
Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (s) grew up to be a very good boy, with a fine nature that made him popular among his relatives and friends. He was very considerate and thoughtful.
When he was only a boy, Muhammad (s) worked as a Shepherd. While he tended the sheep, he thought about the world around him, and about the people of Makkah where he lived.
Muhammad (s) grew up to be a fine man who was respected by the people of Makkah. They called him the Trustworthy (Al-Amin) and the Truthful (As-Sadiq).
When he was 25 years old he married a good lady called Khadijah (r). They lived a very happy life together.
At the time the people of Makkah had really bad habits. They used to argue a lot, they used to fight and even kill each other and worst of all they used to worship Idols. Muhammad (s) saw all this and wondered why they do this and would get saddened. In his heart Muhammad (s) felt sorry for them.
When Muhammad (s) was older he used to go to Mount Nur and sit in a cave called Hira. He would be alone and think deeply in quietness about things around him and the condition of his people.
Level 2

One day when he was in the cave, the Angel Jibra'il appeared to him.
The Angel told Muhammad (s) to read. Muhammad (s) replied "I am not a reader". The Angel squeezed him and told him again to read. Muhammad (s) said again "but I am not a reader". The Angel squeezed him harder then released him and told him to read. Muhammad (s) replied the same and the Angel squeezed him for a third time then released him.
This time the Angel said to Muhammad (s):
"Read in the name of your Lord Who created,
Created man from something that clings. Read, and your Lord is most generous,
Who taught by the pen, Taught man what he did not know." (96:1-5)
Muhammad (s) repeated the words after the Angel, he felt as if they were printed on his heart. The first word that was revealed was Iqra. This was the beginning of revelation (wahi) and the beginning of Prophethood for Muhammad (s). Muhammad (s) was 40 years old.

Al-Isra and Al-Mi'raj The Prophet Muhammad (s) called people to Islam, and told them to be good and worship only Allah. Most of the People did not accept Islam. They tried their best to stop Muhammad (s), they played all kinds of tricks on him and even his followers were harassed and tortured. But because Muhammad (s) was so patient he carried on delivering the message of Allah. On one remarkable and eventful night Allah honoured our Prophet Muhammad (s) on a journey to Jerusalem called al-Isra and an ascent to heaven called al-Mi'raj. In this journey our beloved Muhammad (s) saw the Glory and Majesty of Allah with his own eyes. Angel Jibra'il woke Muhammad (s) from sleep and took him to al-Masjidul Aqsa in Jerusalem on a white animal called Buraq, which looked like a horse with large wings. In Jerusalem, Muhammad (s) met all the prophets including Adam, Ibrahim, Musa, Harun, and Isa (peace be upon them all). He led them in prayer. Muhammad (s) was then taken up to the Heavens where he saw paradise and hell. Then most important of all was when Muhammad (s) went to see Allah, even Jibra'il had to stay behind as this blessing was reserved for Muhammad (s). Hijrah (emigration) to Madinah After thirteen years of preaching to Makkans the Prophet (s) decided to emigrate to Madinah. After most of the companions had left for Madinah, Muhammad (s) had the order from Allah to leave for Madinah with Abu Bakr (r). The unbelievers plotted to kill Muhammad (s) while he was asleep in bed. The unbelievers surrounded the house of the Prophet (s)
Level 2

ready to go in to kill him. But Muhammad (s) left the house without them seeing him, even though the house was surrounded by unbelievers. This is the power of Allah, if Allah wants something to happen he only says "be" and "it is there" (36:82). The unbelievers then stormed in the house to kill Muhammad (s) only to find Ali (r) lying in the bed. The unbelievers were embarrassed because they surrounded the house and still they couldn't catch Muhammad (s). Muhammad (s) and Abu Bakr (r) set off for Madinah. This is known as the Hijrah. Conquest of Makkah The Prophet (s) was just and kind to everyone. He treated people with honour and respect. Many people joined Islam and the Muslims formed a state. The Muslims grew strong and powerful and even the Quraish (Makkan army) feared them. The Quraish had really hurt the Prophet and the Muslims in every way possible and they tried so hard to kill the Prophet (s) and the Muslims. The arch enemy of the Prophet (s), Abu Sufyan (r) and the leader of the Quraish, came to the prophet and converted to Islam. The Prophet (s) forgave him even though his army fought hard to kill him. The Muslim army was now in a position to enter Makkah, so they set of to conquer it. The Makkans were frightened and ran inside the homes and locked the doors. If the Prophet (s) wanted he could have punished everyone that had hurt the Muslims but he declared that no one will be harmed and forgave them all. The Quraish and the Makkans were amazed that the Prophet (s) forgave them. This was the beauty of Muhammad (s) and Islam. From then on everyone in Makkah was in peace.

Adam (peace be upon him)
Many years ago Allah said to the Angels and Jinn that he was going to create human beings to worship him. Allah then created Adam (a) out of clay. He was the first person and Prophet on earth.
Allah Taught Adam (a) many things including the names of everything. Adam (a) was a very intelligent man.
Allah asked everyone to prostrate before Adam (a). The Angels obeyed Allah's command and prostrated before Adam (a). But Iblis (shaitan), who was one of the jinn, refused. Allah asked him why he refused. Iblis replied "I am not one to prostrate myself to man, whom you created from sounding clay... " (15:32-33).
Allah threw Iblis out and cursed him till the day of judgement. Iblis vowed to misguide as many humans as possible.
Allah then sent Adam (a) to paradise and created a partner for him called Hawwa (Eve in English).
Allah told Adam and Hawwa (a) to live freely in paradise and eat whatever you want except from a particular tree. Allah did this to test their self control.
Iblis was trying so hard to make them eat from the tree, he told Adam and Hawwa (a) so many lies and one day he finally succeeded and Adam and Hawwa (a) ate from the tree. As soon as they had eaten from the tree Allah sent them down to earth.
Adam And Hawwa (a) immediately asked for forgiveness from Allah by saying "Our Lord, we have wronged ourselves, and if you do not forgive us and grant us mercy, surely we shall be losers". Allah forgave them both.
Adam and Hawwa (a) had many children and their families went all over the world. We are the children of Adam (a), all the people in the world are one big family.
From this story we learn that we should never listen to shaitan and when we do wrong we should immediately ask for forgiveness and not do it again.

Nuh (peace be upon him)
Many hundreds of years passed after Adam (a). Slowly people started to forget Allah. They would lie, steal, and hurt other people. Worst of all they worshipped idols and false gods. To guide these people Allah sent a Prophet. His name was Nuh (a).
Nuh (a) told the people to listen to Allah, he told them to be good. He told them there is none worthy of worship except Allah. Nuh (a) tried his best. Many people made fun of him. They would not listen to him. So, Allah decided to punish the bad people by sending a big flood.
Allah told Nuh (a) to build a big boat. Nuh (a) collected a lot of wooden planks in an open dry field. He started to tie them up with ropes. The bad people would walk by him and laugh at him. "What a silly person, he is building this big boat in the dry field. We never get any water here" they said.
One day Nuh (a) finished building the boat. Allah told Nuh (a) to get all the good people and a pair of each kind of animal on the boat. A pair of chickens, a pair of ducks, a pair of lambs and goats and so on.
Then one day it started to rain. It continued raining on and on. It rained for many days. The ponds, the lakes and rivers all filled up. Then there was a flood. The boat that Nuh (a) built started to float. The waves became bigger and higher. The good people were safe on the boat, all the bad people drowned.
A few days later the sun came out. The boat landed on a dry place when the flood ended. Nuh (a) and the good people got off the boat and started a new village.

Ibrahim (peace be upon him)
Ibrahim (a) is known as Khalilullah (friend of Allah). His father, Azar, used to make idols and sell them. Many people in the town worshipped idols. Allah sent Ibrahim (a) to guide these people.
Ibrahim (a) loved his family very much. He told his families and relatives to worship one Allah. They would not listen to Ibrahim (a).
Once Ibrahim (a) asked "O Father, why do you worship idols that neither speak nor hear?" Azar became angry and warned him not to ask such questions.
One day Ibrahim (a) wanted to show people the stupidity of worshipping idols. So when everyone was out to a festival Ibrahim (a) went to the temple where the idols were kept and asked the idols "How are you? Here is food and drink. Why don't you help yourselves to some?" the stone idols were silent, of course.
Ibrahim (a) now took an axe and began to break all the idols except the biggest, which he spared for a purpose. When he had finished, he left the axe hanging round the neck of the biggest idol.
The people returned from the festival to find their gods smashed. They were furious, "who has done this" they wondered.
They thought of Ibrahim (a), because he was the only one who showed disrespect to them. They asked him "who broke the idols". Ibrahim (a) replied "ask the biggest one". They said "don't you know the idols don't talk". Ibrahim (a) said "then why do you worship them. They can't talk, move or understand anything. Why do you ask them for favours". The people had no answer.
The stubborn people decided to make a huge fire and they threw Ibrahim (a) into the fire. But a miracle happened, Allah did not let the fire harm Ibrahim (a), the people couldn't believe their eyes. They felt sad and helpless.

Musa (peace be upon him)
Musa (a), the son of Imran, was born in Egypt within the Banu Israil (children of Israil), during the time of an evil ruler called Fir'awn. The Fir'awn used to treat the Banu Israil as foreigners and very harshly. He also forced people to work day and night to make beautiful palaces and giant pyramids. The people were very sad and very poor.
The Fir'awn understood that one day a boy from the Banu Israil will cause him trouble. So he decided to kill all the little boys from the Banu Israil.
Musa's (a) mother feared for her son. But, knew Allah could save anyone. So, she put baby Musa (a) in a basket and placed the basket in the river. The basket floated away and eventually reached the Palace of Fir'awn. Fir'awn's wife Asiya, saw the lovely baby and wanted to keep him and raise him up. She also wanted to hire a women that would help her look after the baby. The women she hired was Musa's (a) mother. Subhanallah. Such was the beauty of Allah's plan.
Musa (a) grew up in the palace of Fir'awn and eventually became a Prophet. Allah gave him a holy book called Tawrah. Musa (a) told the Fir'awn to worship Allah alone. Fir'awn did not want to listen and tried many things to prove Musa (a) was wrong. But Musa (a) kept on proving that there is none worthy of worship except Allah.
Fir'awn got angry and went to kill Musa (a) and the Banu Israil. Allah commanded Musa (a) to leave Egypt. Musa (a) and the Banu Israil left for the sea shore. The Fir'awn and his army were chasing them.
In front of Musa (a) was a big sea. Allah ordered Musa (a) to throw his stick into the sea. So Musa (a) did this and suddenly the sea parted to form a road in the middle. Musa (a) and his followers ran across and safely reached the other side. Fir'awn and his army were still in the middle of the sea when suddenly the
water on both sides began to pour over them. Fir'awn and his army drowned.

Isa (peace be upon him)
Hundreds of years after Musa (a) Allah sent Isa (a) (Jesus in English) to the Banu Israil (children of Israil). The Banu Israil had started worshipping idols. Isa (a) was sent to put these people on to the correct path.
Isa's (a) mother was Maryam (a). She was an honest woman. She followed the teachings of Allah. She was a good Muslimah.
Isa (a) was born without a father. Allah willed it to be so it was. Isa (a) could talk as a baby and was made a prophet at the age of 30.
The Christians wrongly think that Isa (a) is the son of God. But, we know Allah has no children. Allah is one.
Allah gave a book to Isa (a). This book is called the Injil (Bible).
Like other Prophets, Isa (a) told his people to worship Allah, be good, pray salah and give charity. Some of his people did not like him and gave him a hard time. They wanted to kill Isa (a). Before they could kill Isa (a) Allah raised him up to the heavens where his is right now.
Isa (a) was a very kind person. He used to help so many people even when the people were bad to him.
