DescriptionTaken from ‘Taysir Al-Latif Al-Mannan fi Khulaasat Tafsir Al-Qur’an’ (The Exegesis of the Qur’an)Shaykh Al-Allamah ‘Abdur-Rahman b. Naasir as-Sa‘di | Intro: Shaikh Abdullah Al-Aqeel | Hikmah PublicationsAllaah mentioned the stories of the Prophets in His Book, who were the purest examples, the leaders of guidance and lanterns amongst the darkness. They are those whom Allah mentioned as:“They are those whom Allaah had guided. So follow their guidance.” — [6.90]He also encouraged us to reflect on these stories due to the examples and exhortations found within them. Allah said:“Indeed, in their stories, there is a lesson for men of understanding. It (the Qur’an) is not a forged statement.” — [12:11]The scholars of our pious predecessors – Allaah have mercy on them – were the leaders in this as they investigated the stories of the Prophets and extracted highly important benefits and numerous fine wisdoms from them.From amongst these nurturing scholars and sincere callers to Islam is the Noble Shaykh, al-‘Allamah ‘Abdur-Rahmaan ibn Naasir al-Sa‘di – Allaah have mercy on him and grant him the abode of Paradise. For he exerted his time, efforts and entire life in service to the Book of Allaah – may Allaah reward him in the best fashion for his service to Islam and the Muslims.
