i. The stories of prophets prove that the Quran is the word of Allah and the Messenger of
Allah (S.A.W) is the last prophet, this is because, the fact that an illiterate person informs
people about the events in the past as if he has seen them proves that he is the Messenger
of Allah and that his knowledge is based on the divine revelation.
ii. They were narrated in order to teach believers something and make them draw lessons
from various events. For instance, the verses that were sent down about Nabii Ibrahim (a.s)
in Makkah are usually about his struggle of oneness and belief against his nation.
iii. One of the important reasons why the stories of the prophets are mentioned in the Quran
is to console and strengthen all of the believers, primarily the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W)
and to threaten the unbelievers with torture.
iv. Another reason why the stories of the prophets are mentioned in the Quran is to prove the
institution of Prophethood that the institution of Prophethood exists in the history of
mankind. He who cannot deny the institution of Prophethood cannot deny Prophet
Muhammad (s.a.w).
v. The belief of the believing people are strengthened against the attacks and denials of the
people of deviation by mentioning the stories of the prophets in the Quran, since they show
that the way that Muslims are following is not an ideology and belief that is put forward for
the first time but a continuation of the struggle between belief and unbelief that has been
going on throughout history
vi. The stories of the Prophets serve as explanation of the general principles of the message
of Islam.
vii. The Prophets inculcate in the minds of the people the doctrine of the Unity of Allah. All the
Prophets preached Tawheed an example is evident during Nabii Ibrahim (a.s) when he
called his people to worship one God.
viii. They give lessons on communities and people who lived before the Prophet (SAW), their
stories give information on the people who lived before the Prophet (SAW), some of these
stories serve as a warning to evil doers and give glad tidings to those who do good.
ix. They indicate and serve as a proof of the continuity of the message which was revealed to
earlier Prophets and completely to Prophet Mohammad, the seal of the prophets and the
final Prophet.
x. To prove the Universality of the Prophethood of Muhammad/was sent for all humankind
whereas the earlier Prophets were each sent to his own nation (people) for their guidance.
