Urdu: Makkar Dushman

A story about deceit — and what defeats it

Every child eventually meets someone who smiles while plotting against them, and the Qur'an is full of Prophets who faced exactly that. Makkar Dushman (مکار دشمن) — "The Cunning Enemy" is the third title in Dar-us-Salam's True Stories for Children: Miracles of the Prophets series, built around a Prophet's encounter with an enemy whose scheming was ultimately overturned by Allah's protection and plan.

What the story teaches

Written in simple, unhurried Urdu for a single read-aloud sitting, the book shows children that cunning and conspiracy are no match for Allah's decree — a reassuring, age-appropriate lesson about trusting Allah when facing those who mean harm.

Ideal for young readers

Short chapters and a single storyline keep the book squarely within a child's attention span, making it well suited to bedtime, weekend Islamic school, or early independent Urdu reading.
