Description

Explore the profound legacy of al-Tha'labi, a renowned Qur'anic scholar from the fifth/eleventh century. This scholarly work examines his 'Ara'is al-majalis, which stands as one of the most widely consulted examples of the Islamic qisas al-anbiya' genre. By using modern critical methods and drawing on primary Arabic sources, this book provides a deep look into the historical and literary context of these sacred stories. Readers will find a detailed examination of the narratives of Noah, Job, Saul, and David. The text analyzes how these stories are presented within the key historiographical and folkloric texts of the medieval Islamic period. This volume is an essential resource for those studying the themes of temptation, responsibility, and loss through the lens of classical Islamic scholarship. It offers a clear perspective on how medieval scholars interpreted prophetic history and its lasting impact on Islamic literature.
