What is We Love Muhammad about?
We Love Muhammad is an Islamic audiobook for children aged 4 to 9 that tells the early life of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, from his birth in Makkah to the night the first revelation came to him, with narration, sound effects and songs.
It begins in the Year of the Elephant, when a greedy king marched on the Kaaba with an army and elephants, and birds pelted them with stones of baked clay. That year Muhammad ﷺ was born, after his father Abdullah had died, and his grandfather Abdul Muttalib gave him his name. He spent his early years in the desert with Halima, whose flocks and camels were blessed while he was with them. By the time he was a boy, he had lost his mother Amina and his grandfather, and his uncle Abu Talib took him in. On a journey to Syria, a Christian monk named Bahira saw signs that the boy would be a prophet.
As a young man, Muhammad ﷺ was known as Al-Amin, the trustworthy. He worked for the noble Khadijah, who later became his wife. When the tribes of Quraysh quarrelled over who would put the Black Stone back in the Kaaba, he placed it on a cloth so that every tribe could carry it together. Saddened by the idols in the Kaaba, he went to pray in the cave of Hira, where, in Ramadan, the angel came to him with the command to read.
Told in eight parts over about 45 minutes, it is published by Noorart as Life in Mecca, Volume 1.
