This is probably the most comprehensive and detailed account of the Prophets and other stories of the Qur'an. It is the complete translation of the four-volume original in Urdu by Maulana Hifz al-Rahman Syuharwi. Includes color photos of related historical locations. 

The purpose in the Holy Quran, by narrating these stories, is that we should learn a lesson both on individual and collective levels, and then change our lives according to Allah's will, in order to better the world around us, in implementing a more socially just, goodwill towards man, and other positive asserted lifestyle.
