Urdu: Kissa do Oontoon Kaa

Miracles of the Prophets, retold for children

Children remember what surprises them, and few things surprise a young reader more than a genuine miracle — an animal that speaks, a sign that defies every expectation, proof placed before a disbelieving people that could not be explained away. Kissa do Oontoon Kaa (قصہ دو اونٹوں کا) — "The Story of the Two Camels" is written on exactly that principle. It belongs to Dar-us-Salam's True Stories for Children: Miracles of the Prophets set, a companion strand to the series' Prophet-biography books that focuses each short volume on a single wonder Allah showed through His Messengers.

A story built around a sign

Told in plain, unhurried Urdu and paced for a single sitting, the book walks a child through the events surrounding the camels of the story, drawing out at the end the lesson every miracle in the Qur'an is meant to teach: that Allah's power is complete, and that His signs are given so people may believe.

Built for reading aloud

Short chapters, large-enough print, and a single clear storyline make this a natural fit for bedtime reading, weekend Islamic school, or as an early independent read once a child's Urdu reading has progressed past the alphabet stage.
