Qasas un Nabiyyin Part 1 to 5 | Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi | Arabic

About Qasas un Nabiyyin Part 1 to 5

Qasas un Nabiyyin Part 1 to 5 is the complete five-part Arabic set of stories of the Prophets by Maulana Syed Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi (RH). Written in simple, graded Arabic with clear narration, it has long been loved by students who are learning the language and by families who want children to grow up knowing the lives of the Prophets (AS). One set brings all five parts together, so the reader can move step by step from the earliest stories to the life of the final Messenger, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.

Many readers first meet Qasas un Nabiyyin in a madrasa or Arabic class. Its sentences are short, its vocabulary is practical, and the stories are ones every Muslim already cherishes, which makes learning Arabic feel natural instead of heavy.

What the set covers

• Stories of the Prophets (AS) told in easy Arabic prose
• A gradual rise in difficulty from one part to the next, so that vocabulary and sentence structure grow with the reader
• The fifth part, listed by booksellers as Sirat Khatam an-Nabiyyin, which turns to the life of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
• Editions with tashkil (vowel marks) are available, which helps beginners read aloud with confidence

The exact contents of each part, the number of pages and the printing differ between publishers, so please message us on WhatsApp at 9906523492 for details of the copy in stock.

About the author, Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi (RH)

Maulana Syed Abul Hasan Ali Hasani Nadwi (RH) lived from 1913 to 1999. He was one of the leading Islamic scholars of the twentieth century and served as the seventh Chancellor of Darul Uloom Nadwatul Ulama in Lucknow from 1961 until the end of his life. His best-known works include Islam and the World, Saviours of Islamic Spirit and his seven-volume autobiography Karwan-e-Zindagi. He wrote Qasas un Nabiyyin originally for his nephew, and the book later gained wide recognition among Arabic learners and entered Arabic teaching programmes in many institutions around the world.

Why Qasas un Nabiyyin is still the first choice for learners

Arabic grammar books teach rules, but a learner also needs steady reading of good, natural text. Qasas un Nabiyyin gives exactly that. The sentences repeat useful patterns, the verbs appear in many forms, and the story keeps the student curious from page to page. Because the subject is the lives of the Prophets (AS), the reader is also building love for Allah and His Messengers while building language skill. This is why teachers often place Qasas un Nabiyyin in the early years of Arabic study, and why parents choose it as home reading for older children.

Who should read it

• Madrasa and school students who have started Arabic and need graded reading
• Adults who want to read Arabic without relying on translation
• Parents who want to teach their children the stories of the Prophets in the language of the Qur’an
• Teachers looking for a reliable class reader
• Anyone preparing to move from simple stories to classical Arabic texts

How to get the most from the set

Read a short passage aloud each day, then read it again silently and write down the new words. After a week, retell one story in your own simple Arabic, spoken or written. Pair the reading with a basic grammar text so that you can see the rules at work in real sentences. Do not rush to the next part until the current one feels comfortable. A student who reads one page well every day will finish all five parts with a strong base in vocabulary and sentence structure.

Learning from the stories themselves

Each Prophet (AS) faced his own test: patience, truthfulness, trust in Allah, courage before a powerful ruler. When a child reads these accounts in Arabic, the lessons stay with him longer because he has worked to understand every line. Parents can ask a simple question after each story, such as what quality of the Prophet (AS) they would like to copy, and turn reading time into character-building time.
