Abstract
Cross-religious literature concerns the type of literature whose narratives and percepts are derived from and concern religious themes, all taken from religiously confident sources. Dealing with the accounts of pre Islamic peoples and prophets, this type of literature encompasses both Islamic and pre-Islamic accounts and incidents. As they contain significant notions and the types of human experience whose lessons and wisdom can prove significant for almost everybody, they qualify as world classics. Derived mainly from the Quran, and as the Quran is the intact Divine Word, the Quranic versions of the accounts and parables can be regarded as the very urtexts and the most reliable versions. As such, they can benefit researchers and inquirers who are followers of other, mainly Abrahamic, religions.
