Este libro infantil sobre la vida del profeta Mahoma está tomado de la literatura biográfica musulmana tradicional, incluido el hadiz. Los pasajes del Corán se utilizan a lo largo para reforzar las historias. El material es auténtico y el estilo animado y atractivo. Aunque el libro ha sido escrito para niños de 10 a 15 años de edad, cualquiera puede leerlo como introducción debido a su integridad y claridad. Hay 32 ilustraciones a color, aunque no ha habido ningún intento de retratar ni al Profeta ni a sus Compañeros. Las ilustraciones son representativas de la vida islámica tradicional tal como se vivió en muchos paí­ses árabes y retratan escenas que han ocurrido en esos paí­ses durante más de mil años. -
