In previous  times, the record of history was not available in the present form. With  the passage of time, writing developed and so did the art of recording  history. Divine scriptures themselves are a source of history.<\/p>\n<div>Events  of macro history were transferred form generation to generation.  Moreover, modern research in archeology has confirmed the history told  in the scriptures. These events regarding the perished nations, at the  time of the revelation of the Qur\u2019an were fully known to people, that is  why the opponents of the Prophet (sws) did not object to these. They  never said that the Qur\u2019an was wrong in its reports. The Qur\u2019an clearly  asserts that these were commonly known events. <\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Tariq Mahmood Hashmi<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-03-21<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6845\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why is it that the history related in the Qur\u2019an  and other scriptures is not spoken of in common history, although the  Qur\u2019an tells the history of perished nations so that human beings can  take lessons from them?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14147,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1294],"tags":[1674,1743,2015,1745],"class_list":["post-6845","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-quran","tag-history","tag-history-of-nations","tag-history-of-prophets","tag-stories"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
