THE PROPHETS OF ISLAM 

Editor's Comments

        The genesis of this book lies in the author's abiding interest in the comparative study of the Monotheistic Faiths Judaism, Christianity and Islam.  Having majored in the Biblical Studies, with distention, he continued to benefit from the wisdom (Hikma) of the Revealed Word through regular study of the Qur'an. 

        A few years ago, Br.  Haider Shamsi and myself were teaching the young students in the Sunday School in Englewood, NJ.  I was to teach about the Prophets mentioned in the Qur'an and there was no English book available on the subject.  When Br.  Haider Shamsi told me that his late father had written a book on the Prophets in Urdu language, I knew that we will have its translation available some day. 

        Br. Haider is man of his word.  By the Grace of Allah, he has translated the book in English.  I sincerely hope this will meet the need of the young as well as the New Muslims in particular, and students of religion in general.  This excellent work will also help the readers to recognize the essential link and commonality of belief in the Oneness of God, the Prophesy and the Day of Judgement among the followers of the three Monotheistic Faiths.  May they learn to live in peace, and endeavour to make this world a better and safer place for their children.
