An announcement before the angels, a forbidden tree and words of return: with Adam, the human story begins as a test and a promise.
Idris
Only a few verses — yet every word carries weight: truthful, a prophet, patient, righteous and raised to a high station.
Nuh (Noah)
Nuh calls for centuries while mockery falls upon him. Then, before the waters arrive, a ship begins to rise under Allah’s watch.
Hud
ʿAd asks who could be stronger than they are. Hud reminds them of their Creator. When a cloud approaches their valleys, they expect rain.
Salih
Thamud demands a sign. The she-camel is given space and a right to water. When the boundary is violated, Salih announces three final days.
Ibrahim (Abraham)
A son challenges his father’s gods. A people demand that he be burned. And a father speaks to his son about a dream that places both before a trial.
Lut (Lot)
Lut warns his people, but they threaten him with expulsion. When unfamiliar guests arrive, people hurry to him. The messengers already carry another commission.
Ismail (Ishmael)
The mother searches between Safa and Marwa; settlement grows beside the water. Later the son helps Ibrahim at the House, and both pray as its foundations rise.
Ishaq (Isaac)
Unexpected guests, an astonishing announcement, and a family whose favour becomes responsibility.
Ya‘qub (Jacob)
A dream becomes a secret, a bloodstained shirt becomes a trial, and a father refuses to abandon hope in Allah’s relief.
Yusuf (Joseph)
A dream, a well, a prison, a throne — and at the end a sentence that settles no scores.
Ayyub (Job)
A single sentence names the suffering, and that same sentence keeps the door to mercy wide open.
Shu‘ayb (Shuayb)
His call reaches scales, roads and wealth — where a society must decide whether faith also governs trade.
Musa (Moses)
A threatened child in the tyrant’s house, a staff before the sea, and a prophet who also searches for knowledge himself.
Harun (Aaron)
When Musa names his own limitation, he asks for his brother, and the prayer becomes a mission carried together.
Dhu al-Kifl
Three verses, no embellished biography — yet an enduring judgment of patience, righteousness and goodness.
Dawud (David)
From victory over Jalut to rule, glorification and judgement: Dawud’s gifts place him within responsibility.
Sulayman (Solomon)
An ant warns, a missing bird reports and a ruler seeks counsel. Letter, gift and throne lead to submission — and a staff finally reveals knowledge’s boundary.
Ilyas (Elijah)
One brief question breaks through an entire people’s habit: why call upon Baʿl and abandon the best of creators?
Al-Yasa
Two verses, no embellished biography — yet an enduring verdict: favoured and among the excellent.
Yunus (Jonah)
A laden ship, a lot, a fish and a call from layers of darkness — until an entire community answers differently.
Zakariya (Zechariah)
A prayer as quiet as a secret meets age and barrenness — then comes a name no one had carried before.
Yahya (John)
He is given a name before birth and wisdom while still a child — an account whose force needs no later legend.
Isa (Jesus)
Maryam carries her child back to an accusation. Isa speaks, calls to Allah and brings clear signs — yet his mission meets faith, a weighty request and hostile plots.
Muhammad ﷺ
Words in Hira, hope amid rejection and a cave facing close danger: from the call grows a community tested through wounds, faithfulness and forgiveness.
