Ayoub عليه السلام had wealth, health and family, and lost all three.
He is remembered for what he did afterwards, which was to hold on — for years — without turning from his Lord or complaining about what had been taken. When he finally called out, it was in the gentlest terms: that harm had touched him, and that Allah is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy.
Allah restored everything to him and more.
Because children get ill, and lose things, and have periods where nothing goes right — and their instinct is to conclude that something has gone wrong with the world.
Ayoub عليه السلام teaches them that a trial is not a punishment and not an accident, and that patience is something a person actually does rather than merely feels. Told in rhyme, at an age where the lesson goes in without argument.
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.
Fifteen titles, each on one Prophet, all in the same rhyming format:
