The book starts by describing the beginning of creation- from the throne and the Kursi, the universe and all that is in it , such as the angels, the jinn and humans .

Al-Bidayah wan Nihayah (The Beginning and The End), by the renowned scholar Abu Al-Fida, 'Imad ad-Deen Isma’eel bin ’Umar bin Katheer (Ibn Katheer), is considered as one of the most authoritative sources on Islamic History. A unique feature of the book is that it not only deals with past events, but also talks about future events mentioned by Prophet Muhammad ﷺ until the Day of Judgement.
