These books were originally published in Urdu to provide children with a basic knowledge and understanding of revered figures from our religious history. Illustrations, children’s activities and glossaries have been added to enhance the learning experience for children. The goal of these books is for children to develop a love and appreciation for the profound faith and the immense sacrifices of the revered personalities portrayed in these books. It is also hoped that the examples of righteousness found in these pages inspire children to cultivate a personal relationship with Allah, our Creator and Sustainer.
This particular book is about the life of Ummul-Mu’minin, Hazrat Juwairiyah (ra). Some modifications and additions have been made to the original text for the sake of historical accuracy and style.
Hazrat Juwairiyah (ra) was brave and intelligent. Despite being the daughter of a chief she willingly and happily lived a very simple life as the wife of the Holy Prophet (sas). Hazrat Juwairiyah (ra) narrated seventeen Ahadith.
