What is My First Book About Prophet Muhammad about?
My First Book About Prophet Muhammad is an Islamic audiobook for young children that tells the life of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in simple words, and shows his love for Allah, his honesty, his kindness and his courage.
Long ago, in Makkah, a place of rocky mountains, bright sunshine, proud camels and fast horses, there lived a kind and honest man who worked in fields and markets and always had a smile on his face. But inside he was sad, because the people loved the things they made with their hands more than Allah. One day, in the cave of Hira, the angel Jibreel came to him with the first words of the Qur'an, and with Allah's message for all people: there is only one God. The Prophet ﷺ shared Allah's words with everyone. Some believed, but many did not. They threw rubbish and stones at him and called him names, but he was brave and did not give up. He moved to Madinah, where the people welcomed him, and in time people all over Arabia believed, even in Makkah. When he was old, he reminded everyone that we are all the same, wherever we come from and whatever our colour.
A second chapter gives facts and answers children's questions. He was an orphan and was forty when the first message came. His wife Khadijah was the first to believe in him, and his best friend was Abu Bakr. People called him Al-Ameen, the trustworthy. The chapter also tells how he looked, as his companions described him.
Written by Sara Khan, illustrated by Ali Lodge and read by Rania Kurdi, the book takes about four minutes and is music-free.
