 Before we begin the story of Prophet Isa (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ), note that some details of family lineage and the context of certain early life events have been more extensively covered in the story of Prophet Zakariya (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ). Since their timelines overlap, their stories have a lot of crossovers. We briefly summarize the relevant information so you, the reader listener, may understand the story of Prophet Isa (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) without prior knowledge. We still strongly encourage reading to the story of Zakariyah (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) to understand the differences in scholarly opinions. Bird Image READ THE TEXT OF IMAGE ABOVE IN DOCUMENT.

 THE STORY OF PROPHET DAWUD (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) Prophet Saleh Calligraphy The story of Prophet Dawud (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) revolves around three significant figures: 1. Prophet Dawud, known in Judeo-Christian tradition as David. 2. King Talut, or Saul, who was the leader of the Israelites. 3. Then there was Jalut, known as Goliath. The story of Dawud and Jalut is often more familiarly recognized as the story of David and Goliath. Paragraph Separator KING TALUT AND JALUT FACEOFF. King Talut led the Israelite army, poised for battle against the formidable Jalut and his forces. Having endured severe losses to Jalut before, this impending battle stood as a pivotal moment in shaping the fate of Israel. “ As they marched toward the battlefield, Talut earnestly cautioned his men: “Allah (سُبْحَٰنَهُۥ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ) will test you with a river. Whoever drinks his fill from it is not with me, and whoever does not taste it—except a sip from the hollow of his hands—is definitely with me.” — (S...

 Moses Begins His Prophethood Moses left Midian with his family and traveled through the desert until he reached Mount Sinai. There Moses discovered that he had lost his way. He sought Allah's direction and was shown the right course. At nightfall they reached Mount Tur. Moses noticed a fire in the distance. "I shall fetch a firebrand to warm us." As he neared the fire, he heard a sonorous voice calling him: "O Moses, I am Allah, the Lord of the Universe." Moses was bewildered and looked around. He again heard the strange voice. "And what is in your right hand, O Moses?" Shivering, Moses answered: 'This is my staff on which I lean, and with which I beat down branches for my sheep, and for which I find other uses." (This question was asked so that Moses's attention would focus on the staff and to prepare him for the miracle which was to happen. This was the beginning of Moses's mission as a prophet - PBUH.) The same voice commanded him:...

 THE STORY OF PROPHET NUH (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) prophet Nuh Calligraphy image There are two opinions on the Prophetic timeline of Prophet Nuh ( عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ ) The first is the opinion of many Historians like Ibn Katheer, who wrote Prophet Nuh as coming after Prophet Idris; may peace be upon them. However, some scholars believe that ayah 163 of Surah Nisa suggests he came first before Idrees, “ “Indeed, We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], as We revealed to Noah and the prophets after him...” We present both views so you, as a student of knowledge, are aware. There isn't enough evidence to conclude with absolute certainty, nor is there any benefit in investigating this matter further. This piece is written with the perspective that Nuh (as) came after Idris. LIFE AFTER PROPHET IDRIS (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ): The Muslims were left stranded following the death of Prophet Idris ( عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) . Since no other man from amongst them was chosen as a Prophet, people began to ...
