The Struggle of the Messengers

Throughout history, Allah has sent messengers to every society to tell them of much vital information, such as the moral values that will be pleasing to Him, about what is lawful and unlawful and how true peace and happiness can be attained in the hereafter. As we see in the Qur'an, the behavior and moral quality of these special people have been the best examples to the believers. For this reason, it is important for every believer to learn what they experienced during their lives.

What is revealed in the Qur'an about the struggles of the Messengers is certainly enlightening and instructive for believers. The examples given in this book serve to remind believers of the Messengers' good moral character and sincere efforts. The Qur'an contains many stories about these people, for: "There is instruction in their stories for people of intelligence. This is not a narration that has been invented, but a confirmation of all that came before, a clarification of everything, and a guidance and a mercy for people who believe" (Surah Yusuf, 111).
