This is the 1st part of Qasas Ul-Quran out of 4 parts in total. Qasas al Quran is basically stories of prophets (Anbiya ke Qissay) mentioned in Holy book of Quran Pak. This part contains stories of prophets like Hazrat Adam (A.S), Hazrat Nooh (A.S), Hazrat Idris (A.S), Hazrat Hud (A.S), Hazrat Saleh (A.S), Hazrat Ibrahim / Ibraheem (A.S), Hazrat Ismail (A.S), Hazrat Ishaq (A.S), Hazrat Lut / Loot (A.S), Hazrat Yaqoob / Yaqub (A.S), Hazrat Yusuf / Yousuf (A.S), Hazrat Shoaib (A.S), Hazrat Musa / Moosa (A.S) and Hazrat Haroon (A.S).

The Qasas al-Anbiya (Arabic: قصص الأنبياء‎) or Qasas al-Quran or Stories of the Prophets is any of various collections of stories adapted from the Quran and other Islamic literature, closely related to exegesis of the Qur'an. One of the best-known is a work composed by the Persian author Abu Ishaq Ibrahim bin Mansur bin Khalaf of Neyshabur (a city located in Khorasan, Northeast Iran); another was composed by Muhammad al-Kisai in the 8th century AD (AH 2nd century); others include the Ara'is al-Majalis by al-Tha'labi (d. 1035, AH 427) and the Qasas al-Ambiya by Ibn Kathir (Ibne Kaseer). The narrations within the Qasas ul-Anbiya, are not about historical accuracy, but rather about wisdom and moral teachings.

The Qisas thus usually begins with the creation of the world and its various creatures including angels, and culminating in Adam. Following the stories of the Prophet Adam and his family come the tales of Idris / Idrees, Nuh / Nooh / Noah, Shem, Hud, Salih, Ibrahim, Ismail and his mother Hajar, Lut, Ishaq, Yaqub and Esau, Yousuf, Shuaib, Musa and his brother Aaron, Khidr, Joshua, Josephus, Eleazar, Elijah, Samuel, Saul, Dawud, Sulaiman, Yunus, Dhul-Kifl and Dhul-Qarnayn all the way up to and including Yahya and Isa son of Maryam. Sometimes the author incorporated related local folklore or oral traditions, and many of the Qasas al-Quran''s tales echo medieval Christian and Jewish stories.

Prophets in Islam (Arabic: ِٱلْأَنۢبِيَاءُ فِي ٱلْإِسْلَام‎‎, romanized: al-Anbiya fi al-Islam) are individuals who were sent by God to various communities in order to serve as examples of ideal human behavior and to spread God's message on Earth. Some prophets are categorized as messengers (Arabic: رُسُل‎, romanized: rusul, sing. رَسُول‎ rasūl), those who transmit divine revelation through the intercession of an angel. Muslims believe that many prophets existed, including many not mentioned in the Quran. The Quran states: "There is a Messenger for every community". Belief in the Islamic prophets is one of the six articles of the Islamic faith.

Muslims believe that the first prophet was also the first human being, Adam, created by Allah. Many of the revelations delivered by the 48 prophets in Judaism and many prophets of Christianity are mentioned as such in the Quran but usually in slightly different forms. For example, the Jewish Elisha is called Eliyas, Job is Ayyub, Jesus is 'Isa, etc. The Torah given to Moses (Musa) is called Tawrat, the Psalms given to David (Dawud) is the Zabur, the Gospel given to Jesus is Injil.

The final and most important prophet in Islam is Muhammad ibn Abdullah, whom Muslims believe to be the "Seal of the Prophets" (Khatam an-Nabiyyin, i.e. the Seal of the Prophets), to whom the Quraan was revealed in a series of revelations (and written down by his companions). Muslims believe the AlQuran is the sole divine and literal word of God, thus immutable and protected from distortion and corruption, destined to remain in its true form until the Last Day.

Although Muhammad is considered the last prophet, some Muslim traditions also recognize and venerate saints (though some modern schools, such as Salafism and Wahhabism, reject the theory of sainthood).

In Islam, every prophet preached the same core beliefs, the Oneness of God, worshipping of that one God, avoidance of idolatry and sin, and the belief in the Day of Resurrection or the Day of Judgement and life after death.
