Ali Muhammad al-Sallabi explains that Ibn Kathir’s approach helped in writing the history of the prophets and Islamic civilization by bringing together Qur’anic exegesis and his book *Al-Bidaya wa’l-Nihaya* (*The Beginning and the End*), and linking religious texts with historical accounts. This approach was distinguished by its collection and discussion of reports, its scrutiny of their chains of transmission, and its attention to Israelite traditions. It also arranged events chronologically and examined the circumstances of states, scholars, and societies. Al-Sallabi recommends drawing on Ibn Kathir’s works while comparing reports with other sources and distinguishing what is established by textual evidence from what remains disputed, so as to avoid making definitive claims about details unsupported by reliable evidence.
