Stories of the Prophets

The 25 Prophets in the Quran

As reliable as possible: we present what is explicit in the Quran and authentic in hadith, and we do not assert weak or unverified details.

Reliability Method

This section relies first on Quranic text, then on authentic narrations from Bukhari and Muslim (and equivalent strong reports). Details without strong chains are omitted or mentioned cautiously.

Quran Sahih Hadith No weak Israiliyyat claims
What does Israiliyyat mean?

Israiliyyat are historical/story reports transmitted through some People of the Book, later appearing in parts of tafsir and narrative literature. On this page we use a strict filter: what agrees with Quran and authentic Sunnah may be cited, what contradicts is rejected, and what revelation is silent about is treated cautiously without certainty.
