Superbly written for young adventurous Muslims
Such an incredible read. Not only was it educational but it was written in such an adventurous way that it captures and intrigues young curious minds. Islamic history is amazing and this is such a relevant book in times where identity crisis and racism are rife. Thank you so much Tamara for this book!

Inspirational book on role models
I finished the book in one sitting. It is excellent in narration and relating to the current lives of Muslims. The language in the book is very fluid and easy to read. No. Cons: the book starts with the warrior however I would expect it to start with a scientist as Islam is portrayed Ituarte and it’s starting with a warrior kind of makes it a religion of war. It was incredible to learn about Avicenna , how this is great scientist shaped the modern medicine, and Saladinas well was very very motivational. I am amazed to see how Muslims made great contribution to higher education, specialist, studies of math, science medicine, astronomy sociology.

Paperback book of 30 pages selling at high price and not illustrations for kids
Seriously AED116 for a paperback book of 30pages seems like a ripoff. For some reason after I bought it, it’s selling for AED (on discount apparently). First of all I thought the book was about historical heroes like khalid ibn al waleed, bilal ibn rabah, jaafar ibn abi taleb not some football player, so that’s on me I should’ve done my due diligence. But still it’s a disappointment, I tried to have a quick look so that I don’t judge a book from its cover, but the pages are so compact. This is not for kids I mean, which kid will be interested in reading such a thing. Not enough illustrations for kids just one picture of the person and that’s it. People need to do better with Arabic and ISLAMIC books. They are making things so uninteresting for kids and the prices very exaggerated for parents. Look at other books they are much better and sell at much lower prices.

A unique book to educate our young ones
We all know and discuss about our Prophets, Sahabas, mighty war heroes.. This book however puts to light some heroes who have helped shape the history of not only Muslims but also the whole world and yet we do not talk about them as much. This book has helped me recollect the great achievements of Salahuddin, Ibn Sina, Begum Rokeya among others. So not only is this book great for teaching our children about our history but it is helpful to remind the adults about their ancestors as well. I truly have not read a book like this before.

Great learning and an enjoyable read.
More learning for the whole family including some contemporary heroes which the kids really enjoyed. Always great to learn along with the kids so we all truly enjoyed and appreciate the content of these books.
