Goodnight Stories from the Lives of the Sahabah

Eighteen accounts taken from the lives of the Prophet Muhammad's Companions are retold here at a length that suits a bedtime reading. The wording is pitched at younger listeners, and full-colour illustrations carry each episode so a child following along has something to look at while the story unfolds. The selection works as an early introduction to the people who surrounded the Prophet, and the short format makes it easy to read one account a night rather than working through a long chapter at a stretch. What the format offers: • Eighteen separate accounts, each short enough to finish in one sitting • Colour artwork on the story pages to hold a young listener's attention • Simple wording chosen for children rather than adult readers • A gentle starting point for children beginning to learn Islamic history Suited to parents and grandparents reading aloud to children of roughly four to nine, and to school and madrasa libraries building a children's shelf.
