Description :

Parables from the Prophet, may Allah bless him & give him peace, & His Companions, may Allah be pleased with them!

Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, was a master of words. The Beloved Prophet's words bore a unique depth of perspective, one that is unequaled in pleasure and distinctly delightful to hear. His words are a source of wisdom from beyond; his every word moved hearts and astonished minds. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, would sometimes portray a truth by telling a parable.

This book is a collection of parables containing the words of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Various topics are covered in these narratives of the Prophet along with an explanation (reflection) of the warnings and lessons to be derived. In the introduction, and in each story's conclusion, additional information was included to present these stories in a complete, comprehensive manner, in order for the moral to be crystallized in the mind of the reader.
