Luut عليه السلام was the nephew of Ibrahim عليه السلام, and he was sent to a town whose people had abandoned every restraint and were open about it.
He called them for years. They told him to stop, and eventually to leave.
Told in rhyme at a level suited to young children: the warning, the refusal, the angels who came as guests, and the instruction to take his family and go before daybreak without looking back — and the wife who did not go with him.
What a Child Takes From It
That a person is not excused by everyone around him doing the same thing, and that Luut عليه السلام stood alone in a whole town and was right.
The subject matter is handled with the restraint the age group requires — the emphasis falls on his patience and on the rescue rather than on the details of what his people did.
How the Series Works
Simple full-color illustrations accompany rhyming poetry that is fun to read aloud and surprisingly easy to remember — which is the point. A child who has heard a story in verse a dozen times can recite parts of it back, and what he can recite he retains.
Each book carries an "Islamictionary": a simplified children's glossary explaining the Arabic and Islamic words as they appear. That single feature is why the books work in non-Arabic-speaking households, where a parent reading aloud otherwise has to stop and improvise a definition.
Hard, durable full-color pages with the picture on the left and the text on the right. Each book is 8 x 5 inches and three-quarters of an inch thick — built for the handling a favorite book gets.
The Rest of the Series
Fifteen titles, each on one Prophet, all in the same rhyming format:
