We believe that everyone, Moslems and non-Moslems alike, benefit enormously from reading and understanding a readable and compelling life of Muhammad based entirely on early sources, which is the closest to the truth of his life that it is possible to get. There are today so many misconceptions about the real Muhammad and his beliefs and teachings, and we felt it was important to add this fascinating story — together with similar volumes about Jesus and Buddha — to the Real Reads list.
Since its publication, Real Reads Muhammad has been widely distributed to schools throughout the UK and North America, and we have recently sold rights for the book to our Turkish partner publisher. We would very much like to see the book appear in Arabic before very long!
John Button Managing Director, Real Reads
Please do let me know about publishers of books for young Muslims that I have missed! (I am aware that a list of publishers of Muslim books for children of all ages would be longer than this one. Also, there are textbook publishers who include titles about Islam that are somewhat accessible to young children.)
Whether you choose your Eid gifts for young Muslims from among new releases, recent titles, old publications, or you hold out for the forthcoming launches from IIPH, Noor Kids, and Greenbird Publishing, insha’Allah you will find benefit it your purchases. May Allah SWT grant you a blessed end of Ramadan and Eid.
