The Prophet's Pond

Honestly the most beautiful Islamic children's book I've come across. I really had to fight back my own tears whilst reading this to my children.Absolutely stunning art work, excellently written, with a clear storyline that doesn't focus on the specifics, but rather mentions authentic narrations as part and parcel of the story.Stunning! Make God reward the author, illustrator and publisher.

Absolutely beautiful, from illustration to the narration! The hadith is incorporated into the story in such a heart touching way and it's presented in such a memorable way, for children and adults alike.Also loved the rhyming structure embedded into the story!

I really liked the story and pictures and concept but the quality of the pages are thin and very flimsy.

the best islamic children's bookI can't hold my tears while reading

“The Prophet’s Pond” by Zaheer Khatri and published by learningroots is another perfect children’s story about the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Ages 4 and up can easily understand it and will enjoy the fun rhythm and rhyme that the story is written in. I love how it is the son that is telling his mother about the pond that he wanted to go to and the person that he wanted to meet; the kids loved seeing the kid teaching his mom😅I also like that the story was made in the form of a fun riddle; it kept the kids engaged and waiting to see what the answer was at the end.By the end of this story, I was yearning to meet the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) at his pond, (alkawthar), and my kids had learned a lot about it. It reinforced to them that if they love the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and follow his sunnah, that insha Allah they will be blessed with visiting this “pond” in Jannah. Such a perfect book for increasing our children’s love for the beloved Prophet (pbuh). The hadith that this story is based on:From `Abdillaah ibn `Amr(ra), who said, “The Prophet (pbuh) said:‘My lake is a wide as a month’s journey, its water is whiter than milk and its smell is better than musk, and its drinking vessels are like the stars in the sky; whoever drinks from it will never ever become thirsty.’”Bukhari 6579
