This book opens with the story of creation — beginning with the Throne and the Kursī, the formation of the universe, and all that exists within it, including angels, jinn, and humankind.
It continues through the histories of the prophets and their communities, leading up to the era of the Children of Isra’il and the Age of Ignorance (Jāhiliyyah), which concluded with the arrival of the final Prophet, Muhammad ﷺ.
Adapted from Al-Bidayah wan-Nihayah (The Beginning and the End).
