Allah supported His Messengers with miracles for three reasons: to help them in times of distress, to prove the truth of the message they carried, and to prevent false claimants to prophethood from being believed.
For our Prophet ﷺ the greatest of these was the Noble Qur'an — the one miracle that did not end with his lifetime and can still be examined today. But Allah gave him many others as well, and this book presents a selection of them for young Muslims.
Why Present These to Children
A miracle is a story with a point, and children absorb both together. Reading what happened when the water ran out, or when there was not enough food, or when the moon was split at the request of the Quraysh, a young reader gets the narrative and the underlying lesson — that this man was supported by Allah, and that the message he brought was true — without being lectured on either.
A Note on the Format
This book introduced a feature Darussalam carried into later titles: difficult words are underlined in the text and explained in a vocabulary at the end. It is a small thing that changes the reading experience considerably for a child — he keeps going instead of stopping, and he picks up the terminology of his religion as he reads.
Why It Matters Where You Live
Good Islamic literature for Muslim children is important everywhere and particularly in the West, where non-Islamic influences on a child are strong and constant. A book like this is a small counterweight: it builds a genuine love for Islam and for the Prophet ﷺ in a child, through material he actually enjoys reading.
Who It Is For
Children and younger teenagers, reading alone or with a parent. Islamic schools and weekend academies. Family reading. Also adults who know the Qur'an is called the greatest miracle and have never learned what the others were.
