- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book is beautiful, I had to stop my tears from flowing while reading the book. Muhammad PBUH is one of the best people in the world indeed and this story tells exactly that. I would recommend everyone to read how exemplary the life of Muhammad was, how he (SAW) is a role model to all of us till the end of the world
THANKYOU for writing this Khurram Murad.

MUSLIM CHILDREN’S LIBRARY
An Introduction
Here is a new series of books, but with a difference, for children of all ages. Published by the Islamic Foundation, the Muslim Children’s Library has been produced to provide young people with something they cannot perhaps find anywhere else.
Most of today’s children’s books aim only to entertain and inform or to teach some necessary skills, but not to develop the inner and moral resources. Entertainment and skills by themselves impart nothing of value to life unless a child is also helped to discover deeper meaning in himself and the world around him. Yet there is no place in them for God, who alone gives meaning to life and the universe, nor for the divine guidance brought by His prophets, following which can alone ensure an integrated development of the total personality.
Such books, in fact, rob young people of access to true knowledge. They give them no unchanging standards of right and wrong, nor any incentives to live by what is right and refrain from what is wrong. The result is that all too often the young enter adult life in a state of social alienation and bewilderment, unable to cope with the seemingly unlimited
