Isrāʾīliyyāt (sing., isrāʾīliyya) are narrative supplements, both historical and homiletic, that provide background material for biblical characters appearing in the Qurʾān, as well for extra-Qurʾānic biblical or legendary figures, some of whom are seen as connected to events and people from the ancient Israelite period. These are not, however, always Jewish or Christian in origin and can sometimes be found in Zoroastrian or other Near Eastern cultures. Isrāʾīliyyāt accounts appear in almost every category of Islamic literature: classical mystical writings, popular literature, tafsīr (exegesis), taʾrīkh (historical compilations), and works
