Between the Dark Ages and the Dawn

Through thirty-seven different episodes, the pioneer of children's literature, Kamil Kilani, takes us on a captivating journey to discover the fragrant biography of the Prophet Muhammad, presented chronologically and in a unique narrative style, told through the engaging dialogues of three friends: Saeed, Salah, and Rashad. After Saeed finished his mid-year exams in Egypt, he went, as he did every year, to spend his mid-year break with his friend Salah in Palestine. They gathered around notes written by their colleague Rashad, in which he described the state of the Arabs before the advent of Islam, how they lived with corrupt beliefs, and how disputes arose among them as a result. Then he described the appearance of the Prophet Muhammad among them, his secret call to his people, and his correspondence with the people of Medina until God permitted him to migrate to it. This concludes this episode of Rashad's memoirs, with a promise from him to continue the story about immigration in more detail in the next episode.
