An army stood facing a giant nobody would fight. A young shepherd stepped forward, and Allah gave him the victory.
That is where the story of Dawud عليه السلام begins, and it is the part children remember. What follows is what makes him a Prophet rather than a hero.
Kingship, and prophethood with it — and the Zabur, a revealed scripture. A voice so beautiful that the mountains and the birds joined him when he glorified Allah. And iron that softened in his hands, so that he made armor and ate from the work of his own hands rather than from the treasury.
That last detail is the one worth pointing out to a child. He was a king who worked for his living because he chose to.
Told in rhyme, with the fasting and the night prayer he was known for — the Prophet ﷺ called them the most beloved to Allah.
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:
