Description

This beautifully illustrated book introduces readers to Prophet Muhammads (pbuh) childhood and to those who helped raise the man that would, by the will of Allah, lead an entire ummah and be an example for all time.

This book introduces readers to Prophet Muhammads (pbuh) very early life, his childhood and to those who helped raise and shape the man that would lead an entire nation and be an example for all time. The Beginnings of Prophet Muhammed (pbuh) is a meaningful story written in a childs voice with a young reader in mind. What differentiates this book from others are the personalities it focuses on. In alternate books about the Prophet, much isnt written about his mother who passed soon after his birth nor about the women who raised him.

Meet a handful of the men and women that helped shape the early life of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). In these pages, you will find his mother, Amina bint Wahb; the women that loved and protected him like their very own, Halimah Sadiyyah and Barakah (Umm Ayman); and his beloved grandfather Abd al-Muttalib, alongside his uncle Abu Talib.

Author Bio

Farhana Islam is a Primary School Teacher in the North East of England with a love for childrens literature. Being the only minority face her pupils see inspired her to start writing. In particular, mainstream stories with diverse characters and enabling the reader to be both windows and mirrors. A window exposing young readers to a world they may not be necessarily familiar with but still within their reach. And a mirror for those to find themselves, their families, their culture and their communities reflected, valued and normalised in. Farhana was shortlisted for Faber Childrens FAB Prize 2020 for unrepresented authors.
