Topic
From ADAM to MUHAMMAD “The Stories of Prophet”
This lecture discussed Rabghuzi’s Qisas ül-enbiya’ (composed in 1310 in Central Asia ), a collection of stories concerning the prophets of the Abrahamic tradition beginning with Adam and Eve and culminating in the life of the Prophet Muhammad and his Companions. It was a very important devotional text and after 1800 this work became the most popular printed book among the Muslims of the Russian Empire.
