Musa عليه السلام is mentioned in the Qur'an more than any other Prophet, and his story has more in it than any other.
Told in rhyme for young children: the baby placed in a basket on the river to save him, and raised in the household of the very king who had ordered the killing. The flight to Madyan. The fire on the mountain that turned out to be something else entirely. The command to go and speak to Pharaoh, and the brother he asked for to go with him.
Then the confrontation: the staff, the magicians who came to defeat him and ended by prostrating instead, and the night the Children of Israel walked out of Egypt with the sea opening in front of them.
What It Teaches
That Allah's plan runs through the thing that looks most like disaster — a mother putting her baby in a river, and Pharaoh raising the child who would confront him.
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:
