The Story of Muhammad in Madinah

This book is one of a series titled Stories of the Prophets. Each book is beautifully illustrated in full color and the story of each Prophet is summarized in order to allow the child to easily grasp the concept while staying fully entertained by the visual beauty of this work.

An ideal introduction to seerah of the beloved prophet for the young. Recommendation would be for 5-7 years old. 

'O! you Arabs, here comes the Prophet you have all been waiting for,' shouted a man from the tribe of Bani Israel. There appeared two shapes in the distance, coming through the hot desert haze towards Madinah. When they heard the shout, every man, woman and child dropped whatever they were doing and lined the streets of Madinah. Many of the new Muslims in Madinah had not met the Messenger, Muhammad (saaw). At first they mistook Abu Bakr (raa) for Muhammad (saaw), until he covered Muhammad (saaw) with his own cloth from the blazing, afternoon sun. Muhammad (saaw) stayed a few days in a place called Quba and built the first Masjid there. He then rode his camel towards the centre of Madinah and let Allah (swt) guide his camel until she came to rest on her knees.
