Features: The Quran is the sacred scripture of Islam. The stories in "Quran Stories" are all about the historical figures and their anecdotes from the Quran, mainly the stories of prophets before Muhammad. These stories are widely circulated in the Arab world and Islamic countries, known to all, even to the old and young. Indeed, the noble qualities and spirit of the prophets—such as integrity, fairness, clear love and hatred, aversion to evil, diligence, initiative, self-purification, courage in danger, magnanimity, patience, promoting good and preventing evil, respecting the elderly and loving the young, helping the poor and alleviating hardship, perseverance, and unwavering faith—are not only the role models for every Muslim in their conduct and interactions but also the fundamental principles of life in society. At the same time, the rise and fall of ancient tribes as told in the stories serve as a reminder to learn from the lessons of history.
