PREFACE

The Holy Quran is a rich treasure of comprehensive information of the by-gone past and the present. It touches all the socio-economic aspects of society, also discusses the maxims of religious beliefs beside digging the past events, stories, narrations and names of hundreds and thousand of prophets, sent by Almighty Allah to convey His Divine Message.

The latest is the best and same is applicable to the Holy Quran which stands latest in the Queue of all previous holy books, sent on various prophets on various times.

The Holy Quran is a book of medium size, divided into 30 equal parts and contains 114 Surahs.

The names of prophets are scattered all over the pages of Holy Quran, and to bring them in closely-knit order, was a challenging job. But the author of this book, Mr. Mohammad saeed Siddiqi has successfully dealt with this back-bone breaking venture. The way in which the author has complied this chronology, is commendable. It has well resisted the evaporation of the aims of the author.

The Holy Quran not only discusses the principles of religious beliefs, but also it reveals past events, and discloses the names of Allah's messengers, who were ordained to come to this planet to guide the mankind on the right path.
