The Quran informs us of the mission of the Prophets of Allah (SWT) and how communities responded to the call of the Prophets (AS).

The purpose of these stories is to teach mankind how mighty nations were destroyed, how the truth always prevail falsehood, and how we can learn from the history of the people of the past.

Allah (SWT) says,
“Verily there is a lesson for the people of intelligence in their stories”

[Surah Yunus]

History enables us to learn from the past. It gives us the opportunity to change our present and circumstances and empowers us to plan for the future. It serves to strengthen our faith in the mercy of Allah (SWT), and as a reminder of how the wrath of Allah (SWT), destroys the transgressors.

The study of Islamic History includes the times before the Prophet Muhammad (SAW), the times after his demise up to Islam in modern times.
