Here's an Example :
Writing the Story of Prophet Adam عليه السلام
The Quran mentions the creation of Adam, at seven places;
2:24 , 7:11, 15:13, 17:61, 18:50, 20: 116, 38:74 .....So study these verses and note down the important detail to write the story, like, Adam , clay, names , prostration (sajda), Angels, Heaven, Forbidden tree, etc...
Now we arrange all the information, together;
Story of Prophet Adam عليه السلام:
Part 1:
Allah created Prophet Adam, from Clay, and taught him Names (gave him Knowledge). Then He ordered all Angels to prostrate or do Sajda to Adam. All prostrated before Adam, except Iblis, the Shaitan or Satan.
When Allah asked him why he didn't obeyed Allah's order, Iblis proudly explained, that since he was created from FIRE , while Adam was created from CLAY, so he was SUPERIOR than Adam. Iblis showed his prejudice (Takkabar) which Allah didn't like. and asked him to get out . Iblis was jealous of Adam so he made a challenge that he would keep misleading Adam and all the human generations , until the Judgment Day.
Part 2:
Allah created Adam's Wife and asked them to live in Heaven. In Heaven they could not feel hunger or thirst , hot or cold. Allah allowed them to go everywhere, except near a FORBIDDEN TREE.
I Iblis or Shaitan mislead them and they ate the fruit of the Forbidden Tree. Suddenly both of them became conscious of their bodies, and felt that they need to cover them with leaves.
Later they became very ashamed of their dis-obedience of Allah's order and asked forgiveness from Allah. Allah forgave them, yet He made it clear that, they and their generations, will be TESTED for RIGHT and WRONG and if they want to return to HEAVEN again, they are required to PASS THE TEST, on EARTH.

STORY OF PROPHET AYUB (Job) عليه السلام
Prophet Ayub story is very briefly explained in Quran.He was a very wealthy and Healthy person. He had a happy family.
First Allah tested him by taking away his wealth and property. Prophet Ayub never stopped thanking Allah, even then and said that everything belongs to Allah. Then Allah tested his patience , again, and took away his family. Even then he remained patient and said that everything belongs to Allah. Finally Allah put him to a very hard test. Prophet Ayub lost his health and became very sick. He tolerated it with great patience.
One day when his suffering became unbearable for him, he prayed to Allah. Allah took mercy on his sincere and patient prophet and asked him to stomp his foot on the ground. Soon a fountain of water appeared by a miracle. Allah asked him drink and wash his body with the miracle water. He did so and became healthy , again. Allah also gave him the replacement for his lost wealth and family. Prophet Ayub became healthy and wealthy again and lived happy ever after with his family.
Moral Lesson of this story: We should never lose our TRUST توّكّل in Allah, and should alway show PATIENCE صبر on all kind of worldly losses.

STORY OF PROPHET NUH (Noah) عليه السلام
Prophet Nuh was the first of the greatest prophets , after
Prophet Adam. Prophet Nuh is mentioned in several verses in glorious Quran with his struggle
with the deniers , who used to worship idols and were not listening to
Prophet Nuh.
Finally, Allah decided to punish them for their dis-belief.
Prophet Nuh warned his people about the coming punishment, but they didn’t pay
attention, and called him a ‘liar’, as always.
Allah asked Prophet Nuh to build a ship. People laughed at
Prophet Nuh. When the ship was ready Prophet Nuh called the believers to board
the ship. He also boarded pairs of animals and birds of different kinds in the
ship.
After sometime, dark clouds started appearing and the rain
started. It rained heavily for many days, the whole land got covered with flood. All disbelievers
got drowned in the flood, including Prophet Nuh’s own son, who dis-obeyed his
father.
Prophet Nuh prayed for mercy , from Allah and Allah stopped
the rain. The flood subsided and the surviving believers began their lives
again.

STORY OF PROPHET ZAKARIYA عليه السلام
Prophet Zakariya was
very old, yet he had no children. It made him very sad and disappointed. He
feared that there would be no one after him to carry out his work and
responsibilities. He wanted to have a strong leader to guide his people , after
him.
Prophet Zakariya was appointed as a guardian of Mariyam (Mary) by Allah, who was the mother of Prophet Isha
(Jesus). She used to pray in an islolated place, outside the town. One day when Prophet
Zakariya went to see her, he noticed fresh food ,there. He asked Mariyam that who
brought this food for her. Mariyam told him that Allah provided her with all
RIZK (Provisions).
Prophet Zakariya hoped from Allah and prayed for a son. Allah
listened to his prayer and gave him
the good news of a pious child Yahya (John) . At First, Prophet Zakariya did
not believe the news and wondered how could he have a child in his very old
age and while his wife was barren, or not capable of bearing a child. Allah assured him that it was not difficult for
Allah, who also created him from nothing. He was asked not to speak to people for
three days (a fast of silence). Later, Prophet Yahya was born, who was a very obedient son and a very righteous leader for
his people.
Moral Lesson of the story: Never lose hope of Mercy from Allah. Nothing
is Impossible for Him. Allah is always ready to bless his Righteous Servants.
