The events that transpired at the advent of the Prophets of
the past, and Their ways and works and circumstances, are not adequately set
down in authoritative histories, and are referred to only in condensed form in
the verses of the Qur’án, the Holy Traditions and the Torah….all events from
the days of Moses until the present time are contained in the
mighty Qur’án, the authoritative Traditions, the Torah and other reliable
sources…
