Book Review: The Story of Muhammad ṣall Allāhu ʿalay-hi wa-sallam In Makkah

Salam Alaykum,

All of us are in need of reading the story of our beloved prophet Muhammad ṣall Allāhu ʿalay-hi wa-sallam and this book i recommend for the new Muslim, the born Muslim, the young, the old and also the non Muslim, yes it is for you too!

book review the story of muhammad in makkah
You could say it's generally aimed at children as it's beautifully illustrated

 but don't let that stop you buying if you don't have children!

The font style, size is very appealing too but most of all it's the actual story, not just any story but a true story that is captivating and makes you want to pick the book up and read over and over again.

I'm looking forward to purchasing and reading the concluding book The Story of Muhammad ṣall Allāhu ʿalay-hi wa-sallam  In Madinah in shaa Allah but also as the name at the top of the book suggests 'Stories of the Prophets' there are other books in the series that are available too.

I purchased this book from Salafi Book Store the store gave me free of charge dawah leaflets too, may Allah reward them.

One thing to note is although the book is good quality considering the price, if you are reading or should i say trying to read it to a near 2 year old that won't keep her hands to herself, be careful because the pages are easily pulled out! failing that save it until she/he is older.

Salam Alaykum,

Here is a light hearted battle of my most recent homemade cupcakes, both were delicious but only one will come out on top, who will it be?

Victoria Sandwich Cupcakes - straight from oven

VS.

Espresso Cupcakes straight from oven
my very own cupcake wars
filled with whipped cream, but wait it gets better

Chocolate, melted and drizzled over oh and a dusting of icing sugar that was not at all necessary
my very own cupcake wars
and the winner is:

Espresso!

I just had to make these delights again but this time they were a stronger espresso flavour!

(excuse the lighting, i took this photo at night compared to the rest which were in the morning/early afternoon)

What is carob you ask? well if my research serves me correctly it's the fruit / pod from the carob tree which is a species of flowering evergreen shrub or tree in the pea family.
