Eid al-Adha is about celebrating! It is a Muslim festival
remembering the sacrifice made long ago by Ibrahim for his son.
People mark the festival with prayer, visiting family and gifts.
Some people sacrifice an animal and share the meat with their
community. Readers will discover how a shared holiday can have
multiple traditions and be celebrated in all sorts of ways.
This children's book on the life of the Prophet Muhammad is taken
from traditional Muslim biographical literature, including
"hadith." Passages from the Qur'an are used throughout to reinforce
the stories. The material is authentic and the style lively and
attractive. Although the book has been written for children of 10
to 15 years of age, it can be usefully read by anyone as an
introduction because of its completeness and clarity. There are 32
colour illustrations although there has been no attempt to portray
either the Prophet or his Companions. The illustrations are
representative of traditional Islamic life as lived in many Arab
countries and portray scenes that have occurred in those countries
for over a thousand years.
