Stories of the Prophets
Prophet Nuh and the Ark
Prophet Nuh (peace be upon him) called his people to worship Allah for many, many years. Allah told him to build a great ship. When the flood came, the believers and pairs of animals were saved on the Ark. Lesson: keep doing good, even when others laugh.
Prophet Ibrahim and the Kaaba
Prophet Ibrahim and his son Ismail (peace be upon them) built the Kaaba in Makkah together, and prayed: “Our Lord, accept this from us.” (Quran 2:127). Lesson: do good deeds for Allah, and ask Him to accept them.
Prophet Yunus and the whale
Prophet Yunus (peace be upon him) was swallowed by a huge fish. In the darkness he remembered Allah and said: “There is no god but You, glory be to You.” (Quran 21:87). Allah saved him. Lesson: never stop making dua.
Prophet Musa and the sea
When Pharaoh chased Prophet Musa (peace be upon him) and his people, the sea was in front of them. Allah told Musa to strike the sea with his staff, and it parted so they could cross safely. Lesson: trust Allah when things look hard.
Prophet Yusuf’s patience
Prophet Yusuf (peace be upon him) was thrown into a well by his jealous brothers, and later sent to prison though he did nothing wrong. He stayed patient and honest, and Allah made him a leader in Egypt. He forgave his brothers. Lesson: be patient and forgive.
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, the Trustworthy
Even before he became a Prophet, people in Makkah called Muhammad ﷺ “Al-Amin” — the trustworthy — because he always told the truth and kept people’s things safe. Lesson: always be honest.
