In this engaging series for young children, we give beneficial lessons from the Shifa of Qadi Iyad at a comprehensive level which young children can understand and relate to. This great text is by the great scholar of Islam, Qadi Iyad. The Shiffa is important because it discusses the blessed character and virtue of Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).
In these unique lessons, the story is told from the perspective of a student of Qadi Iyad, who explains the text to his young son Mahmud. The lessons are presented in story format featuring puppets. These lessons are easy-to-follow and appealing for young children.
