Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Mary: Divine Revelations From the Quran

An indispensable resource for those working to build interfaith bridges between Jewish, Christian, and Muslim communities.Although modern Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are distinct religions with their own tenets and beliefs, these three ancient faiths share deep roots. Those unversed in the holy scriptures of Islam might be surprised to learn that many of the well-known religious figures told of in the Torah and the Bible are also found in the pages of the Quran. This book gives readers a unique opportunity to explore the histories of these three great faiths by studying the lives of Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Mary as told through the Quranic verses. And while some of these verses are similar to those found in the Judaic and Christian scriptures, others are new revelations not shared before in any of the previous holy texts. With this beautiful collection of Quranic stories, interwoven with brief, simple to follow discussion and commentary, author Thasneem Ahmed offers readers a new way to enjoy the stories of these beloved individuals.
