History acquaints us with the lives of our ancestors, igniting a blessed enthusiasm in our hearts and minds. Human nature has an inherent curiosity that drives us to explore countries, gardens, mountains, and deserts. This same curiosity compels children to listen to bedtime stories and adults to enjoy tales of adventure. It also aligns with the Quranic command, “Ask the people of knowledge if you do not know” (Quran 16:43), encouraging the study of historical books. Recognizing this natural inclination, the Creator infused divine scriptures with historical narratives. The Israelites, once a great nation who claimed, “We are the children of God and His beloved” (Quran 5:18), fell into degradation as they forgot their ancestors’ history. Thus, Allah repeatedly addressed them with, “O Children of Israel, remember” (Quran 2:40), reminding them of their forebears’ stories.
