Obey Allah and obey the Messenger

O you who have believed, obey Allah


and obey the Messenger and those
in authority among you. And if you
disagree over anything, refer it to
Allah and the Messenger, if you
should believe in Allah and the Last
Day. That is the best [way] and best
in result. Surah An-Nisa 4:59

Lesson 1 Life 1400 Years Ago
Dear Muslim child close your eyes and imagine life 1400 years
ago in the desert of Arabia. Life at that time was very
different, without internet, phones, television, refrigerators, nor
cars, not even bicycles! The houses were made of materials found
in nature like mud, dry grass, water, and palm leaves.
If people needed to travel, they had to walk with their own feet or
ride an animal. They either grew their own food or bought food at
outdoor markets. There were no grocery stores stocked with
frozen foods, packaged breads nor chocolate treats.
Our Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam was born
during this time in the desert. In Makkah, a city in what we now call
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Draw or write about the life at the


time of Prophet Muhammad
sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam.

Lesson 2 Map of Makkah
Look at the map below. Can you find the Kaaba, Dear Muslim
child? It is in the city of Makkah. The city that millions of Muslims
travel to for Hajj or Umrah.
It is also the city our Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa
sallam was born in.

The last Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam


Our Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam is not just
the Prophet for Arabs, he is the last Prophet sent by Allah. He is
the Prophet for all mankind, whether you are from Australia, China,
Canada, Pakistan, Morocco, Somalia, Turkey or anywhere else in
the world. Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam
was sent to advise and warn you about this life, the day of
judgement and the Hereafter.
Map Connection
Find your country on a globe or world map. Find Saudi Arabia on
the same globe or map. What direction do you pray? Why? Yes,
Allah ordered all Muslims to pray towards the Kaaba, even if you
are hundreds or thousands of kilometers away. 8
Lesson 3 A Prophet’s Job
A prophet’s job, dear Muslim child, is to teach people to worship
only Allah and not worship anything else so they can go to
Jannah. All prophets taught their people to worship only Allah
alone, but they had different rules to live by and different miracles
according to the people they were sent to. Some prophets were
given books these prophets are called messengers. Our
Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam was also a
messenger. What is the name of the book sent to him?
The Quran is right. Give yourself a high five!

sallallaahu 'alayhi
wa sallam. We receive so many benefits for saying sallallaahu
'alayhi wa sallam. Let us discover just a few of the many
blessings we gain. On the day of judgement, Prophet Muhammad
sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam will intercede for you, which means
Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam will make dua’
for you by Allah’s allowance. It will be wonderful to have the
Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam make dua’ for us! Even now
Allah will give you ten blessings for every blessing you say for
Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam. There are
many more reasons including increasing your good deeds and
erasing your bad deeds. It is a very easy way to gain Allah’s
rewards!

Lesson 4 Prophet Ibrahim alaihis salam
Dear Muslim child did you know Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu
'alayhi wa sallam was the great, great, great, great …grandchild
of Prophet Ibrahim alaihis salam?
Let us learn a little bit about the Prophet Muhammad’s sallallaahu
'alayhi wa sallam family connections.
Ibrahim alaihis salam was ordered by Allah to leave his wife Hajar
in the desert near two mountains, Safa and Marwa. He left her
alone with their baby son, Ishmael alaihis salam. It was a difficult
test for her. There were no stores or people around, but she
trusted Allah.
Without a food or a water source to nourish herself or her son
Ishmael alaihis salam. They quickly ran out of water and Ishmael
alaihis salam began to cry from thirst and hunger. Hajar ran to
Mount Safa climbing up in the hot sun looking for any sign of
travellers or a water source. She saw nothing so she ran to Mount
Marwa and climbed to the top looking desperately for any help.
She ran back and forth seven times each time desperately
hoping for help to feed her baby and herself.

Reflection prompt
Dear Muslim child how do you think Hajar felt running back and
forth looking for water?
11
Suddenly, from below Ismail’s feet a water spring began to gush.
Allah had gifted Hajar and Ishmael alaihis
salam water. This water well still runs today
with the blessed water of Zamzam. Zamzam
water is a blessing and mercy from Allah
not only for Hajar and Ismael but even for us.
Given the chance to drink Zamzam water dear
Muslim child, make dua’ and drink.
The new source of water brought people to
the area who settled, building houses forming a city. Hajar
and Ismael alaihis salam were no longer alone. Prophet Ibrahim
alaihis salam would come and
visit his family. When Ismael
grew up, Ibrahim alaihis salam
was ordered to build the Kaaba
with Ismael alaihis salam who
was also a Prophet. They build the Kaaba together and made
dua’ for people and their future children for generations to
worship Allah and visit His house the Kaaba.
Prophet Muhammad’s family remained in that same city until his
birth.

Reflection prompt
Have you ever been in a situation where you were scared and
unsure of what to do?

Lesson 6 Birth of Muhammad

Now, we know about Muhammad’s relationship


sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam to Prophet Ibrahim alaihis
salam. Let us learn about his birth many years later in the
same city where Ibrahim and Ismael built the Kaaba.
Our Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam
was born in Makkah in the Year of the Elephant. Allah tells
us the story of the Elephant in the Quran.
His father, Abdullah died before he was born. His mother's
name was Aminah.
Aminah sent baby Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa
sallam to live in the desert with a wet nurse named
Halimah. Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam went
to be healthier in the clean desert air and learn good
Arabic.
Halimah's family was poor. Her baby was hungry. Her
animals were weak because her plants were not getting
enough water. After she took baby Muhammad sallallaahu
'alayhi wa sallam to nurse and care for, her life was greatly
improved!
Her animals and plants grew healthy and strong. She had
more than enough milk for baby Muhammad sallallaahu
'alayhi wa sallam and her own son. She was very happy
with Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam.
Dear Muslim child, why do you think her life changed?

Lesson 7 Miracle in the Desert
While Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam was
still a young boy of 4 or 5 years the Angel Jibreel came down
and opened the chest of Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa
sallam.
The angel took out the heart of Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi
wa sallam and washed it in Zamzam water, removing any
evil from the heart.
His heart was put back and Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa
sallam was left with a mark on his chest, where it had been
opened.
His playmates related the story to Halimah.
What would happen dear Muslim child, if someone were to
come and open your chest, take your heart, and wash it?
Why was the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam not
harmed?

19
Circle the correct words.

The angel Jibreel / Mikaeal came down and opened the


chest / drawer of Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa
sallam.

The heart of Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam


was washed in ocean / zamzam water.

Sand / Evil was removed from the heart of Muhammad


sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam .

His playmates / siblings related the story to Halimah.

20
Lesson 8 Returned to His Mother
Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam returned from the
desert to live with his mother soon after his heart had been
cleaned.
His mother took him on a journey to Yathrib (Madinah) to visit
family. Just like you dear Muslim child may, go and visit your
family in other places.
On the way back to Makkah, his mother, Aminah became
sick and died. Hi s grandfather, Ab d u l -Muttalib cared for
Muhammad (SAWS) for two years, then he also died.
After his grandfather's death, Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi
wa sallam was cared for and protected by his paternal uncle
Abu Talib for forty years.

Umar ibn al-Khattab reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace


and blessings be upon him, said, “If you were to rely upon
Allah with reliance due to Him, He would provide for you
just as He provides for the birds. They go out in the
morning with empty stomachs and return full.”
Source: Sunan al-Tirmidhī 2344
21
Dear Muslim child, how did Allah always provide care for
Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam? Can you depend
on Allah’s care too?
When we lose people, we love and go through hard
problems in life it is okay to be sad, but we also must
understand Allah still loves us and will continue to provide
for us. Allah is Ar-Razzaq.
Allah provides homes and food for each creature.
Take two creatures home and take two creatures to eat.

22
Lesson 9 Al-Ameen - The Trustworthy

Before Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam became a


Prophet, a great flood broke the walls of the Kaaba. The people of
Makkah rebuilt the Kaaba, dividing the work among the family
tribes. The work was going well until it came time to place the
Black Stone in its proper place. Everyone wanted to do it because
of the great importance of the Black Stone. The arguing continued
for four or five days, with people getting angrier and angrier they
were threatening to fight with swords. It was suggested that the
next person to enter would decide. By the will of Allah, the
next person to enter was Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa
sallam. Everyone was very happy because he was known as Al-
Ameen (the trustworthy). With great wisdom Muhammad
sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam spread a cloth on the ground and
placed the stone in the middle. One representative from each tribe
helped lift the cloth to the proper location where Muhammad
sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam placed it with his own two hands. By
having all the tribes cooperate Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa
sallam stopped the fighting.

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbaas said: The


Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) said:
“The Black Stone came down from
Paradise.”
(Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 877; al-Nasaa’i, 2935. The hadeeth
was classed as saheeh by al-Tirmidhi).

23
Have a look at the pictures below
When we all cooperate and work together, we have peace,
and we can all feel good. When we do not work together, we
can feel angry, frustrated, and sad.

24
Lesson 10 A Family Man
Under the care of his uncle Abu Talib, Muhammad sallallaahu
'alayhi wa sallam grew up. He was known by all the people of
Makkah to have very good manners. He was known to be
honest and trustworthy. A rich businesswoman named
Khadija asked Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam
to marry her because of his honesty and excellent manners.
They were married and had four daughters and two sons

Aisha, the wife of the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi


wa sallam was asked, “What did the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi
wa sallam use to do in his house?” She replied, “He used to
keep himself busy serving his family and when it was the
time for prayer, he would go for it.” (Bukhari) 25

Lesson 11 The First Revelation

Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam spent time


alone in the cave of Hira' thinking. On, one very
special occasion the Angel Jibreel came to Muhammad
sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam.
The angel ordered “Read."
Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said, "I cannot
read".
The angel squeezed him and repeated "Read".
Again, Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said, "I
cannot read".
The angel squeezed Muhammad and repeated the
order "Read".
Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said, "I
cannot read" . The angel squeezed him a third time and
said “Read! In the Name of your Lord." Muhammad
sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam repeated the first five ayat
of surah al-‘Alaq, after the angel.

Lesson 12 Waraqah

Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam ran home to his


wife Khadija, who comforted him.
Khadija took Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam to
her cousin, Waraqah, who was educated in religion.
Waraqah informed them the angel who visited Muhammad
sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam was the same one sent to
Musa alaihis salam.
Waraqah wished would live to see Muhammad
sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam attacked by his people so he
could help Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam .
Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam asked why his
people would attack him. Waraqah said all those who
received revelation before were treated badly by their
people.
Waraqah wished he would live to support Muhammad
sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam but he was an old man. He died
soon after his meeting with Muhammad sallallaahu

Lesson 13 Calling Quietly

In the beginning of his prophethood, Muhammad sallallaahu


‘alayhi wa sallam called people to worship Allah in secret. The first
believer was Khadija, his wife. Next was his freed slave Zayd,
then his cousin Ali and his best friend Abu Bakr. The first believers
were those closest to him. They knew how honest, kind, and
sincere he was.

31
Muslims must love Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa
sallam. The best way to show our love for him is to follow
his way of life, which we call his sunnah. Allah sent
Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam to teach
us the best way to live. We learn from Prophet Muhammad
sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam how to worship Allah, obey our
parents, be honest and generous and many other good
manners including remembering Allah through out our day.
Remembering Allah is very important, it protects us
from evil, helps us be good and feel happy.

Reflection prompt
Why are we pleased with Allah, Islam and Muhammad sallallaahu
'alayhi wa sallam ?
32
Lesson 14 Come to Salat. Come to Success.
One day the Angel Jibreel came to Muhammad sallallaahu
‘alayhi wa sallam in the form of a man. The angel showed
Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam how to perform wudu’.
Then the angel showed the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa
sallam all the positions of salat and what should be said in each
movement. Imagine, dear Muslim child, your prayer is the done
in the same way Jibreel showed Prophet Muhammad
sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam. Amazing! That is why it is very
important we learn the correct way to perform wudu’ and salat.
After all, dear Muslim child, angels can only obey Allah. The way
the Angel Jibreel taught Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi
wa sallam is the way Allah wants us to pray.

Reflection prompt

How did Jibreel know how to perform wudu’ and salat?


Do we have the right to change wudu’ or salat in any way?

33
34
Lesson 15 Open Calling

After three years of calling people to Islam in secret,


Allah ordered Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam
to start calling all people openly.
Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam obeyed Allah and
began openly calling people to the One true God, Allah.
One day, he stood on Mount As-Safa loudly calling the
people of Makkah to listen to his important message. He
asked the people if they would believe him if he told them
an army was coming to destroy them.
The people said, "Yes you are Al-Ameen the trustworthy."
The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam said, "I warn of
an even greater danger, rescue yourself from the fire by
worshiping the One true God Allah".
The Prophet's uncle, Abu Lahab made fun of the Prophet
Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam and told the
people not to listen to him. Allah answered , Abu Lahab
with the promise of his punishment in Surah Al-Masad.

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful


The power of Abu Lahab will perish, and he will perish. (1)
His wealth and gains will not exempt him. (2)

Lesson 16 Muslims In Makkah

Once the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam started


preaching openly many people began to accept Islam. To enter
Islam people must make Shahadah.
The Shahadah is the first pillar of Islam. We must believe in our
hearts, say the shahadah with our tongue and act on it by
obeying Allah and His messenger sallallaahu 'alayhi wa
sallam.
There is no God worthy of worship accept Allah Muhammad
sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam is the messenger of Allah.

Many of the poor, slaves and weak people were among the first
to accept Islam.
The Quraysh did not like it at all. They began to torture the
believers. The Quraysh insulted, beat, and dragged the believers
over hot sand or hot coals.
The believers remained firm in their belief. They did not give up
Islam to protect themselves from the harm of the Quraysh. They
knew Allah is Al-‘Azeez the Most Powerful. Whatever they
suffered in this life was temporary but life in Paradise or
Hellfire is forever.

37
Reflection prompt
Dear Muslim child, should we stop worshipping Allah if people
laugh at or try to harm us?
38
Lesson 17 Disbelievers Want to Destroy Islam

Allah gave strength to the Muslims of Makkah with two new


Muslims. Two very well-known men from Quraysh became
Muslim, Hamzah the Prophet's Uncle and Umar bin Al-
Khattab. The Muslims were growing in numbers and getting
stronger. The disbelieving Quraysh became very worried. They
did not want Islam to spread.
Although the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam only taught
people to worship Allah and treat other people well, be honest
and trustworthy, just as we learn today. He sallallaahu ‘alayhi
wa sallam had enemies who did not want him to succeed. Just
as we today have enemies who do not want to see Muslims
succeed. There are many examples of how our beloved Prophet
sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam was mistreated.
We will just learn about one, which was particularly hurtful to
him and his daughter. Abu Jahl a big bully, was sitting with some
of his friends, while Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa
sallam was praying at the Kaaba. Abu Jahl encouraged one of
his friends to put the guts of a camel on the back of the Prophet
Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam while in sujood.
Imagine, dear Muslim child, how heavy and yucky camel guts
would feel, if placed on your back! Abu Jahl and his friends
started laughing at the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam.
Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam remained in sujood
until his daughter Fatimah and removed the camel guts from
the Prophet’s back. The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam
remained calm and made dua’ in this terrible moment.
39
Choose the correct Answers:
Abu Jahl was
a) a good friend.
b) a big bully
c) Fatimah’s father

If we see or hear people making fun of Muslims or Islam how


should we react?
a) Laugh along with them.
b) Hit or kick them.
c) Speak truthfully, remain calm and make dua’ to Allah.

Can you identify


these organs that
are inside your
body? Do you think
a camel gut is
similar to yours?

Reflection prompt
Have you ever been made fun of or bullied? How did it feel? What
can we do when that happens?
Should we make fun of or bully other people?

40
Lesson 18 A Ban

The ban meant to join against the Muslims. The disbelievers


agreed with each other not to buy from, sell to, or mix with the
Muslims to punish them and then to force a change.

Rasulullah sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, his family and the


Muslims were forced to live in a valley away from everyone.
The ban was very difficult, they were not allowed to buy or sell
anything. They soon ran out of food. They were very hungry.
They ate leaves and cooked dry animal skin for soup. Many
Muslims became sick. The children cried.

Some of the Quraysh wanted to stop the ban because they felt
sorry for the Muslims. Abu Jahl went to the Kaaba to show
the people the written ban. He came out with a small paper
with only the words Bismillah. The words of the ban had been
eaten by small insects . The ban was lifted.

41
Dear, dear Muslim child how would you feel if you had to eat
soup made from leaves and animal skin?

Reflection prompt
There are children around the world who are suffering. Is there
anything we can do to help?
42
Lesson 19 Death of Loved Ones

Not long after the ban had been lifted the Prophet's Uncle Abu
Talib died. The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam tried to
get Abu Talib before his death to say the Shahadah, but Abu
Talib refused to give up his religion.
Abu Talib died a disbeliever. He protected the Prophet
sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam so, he will be punished in the
shallow fire of Hell. The least punishment of all disbelievers.
Soon after the death of Abu Talib, Khadijah the beloved wife of
Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam also died.
She believed in the Prophet sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam when
no one else did. She was the mother of six of his children.
The Angel Jibreel sent her the message that she would be in a
palace of jewels in Paradise.
These two deaths, were very close together and were very
saddening for the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam.

Lesson 20 At-Ta'if

After the death of Abu Talib, the Quraysh increased their harm
against the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam.
The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam decided to try to teach
people outside of Makkah. He went to the city of At-Ta'if. He

Lesson 21 Al-Isra and AI-Miraj

One very special night our Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu


‘alayhi wa sallam went on a miraculous journey with the angel
Jibreel. The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam rode a
special creature called Buraq.
The Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam rode Buraq first to
Masjid Al-Aqsa. He led all the other Prophets in prayer.
Then on the back of Buraq, the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alayhi
wa sallam) flew to Paradise. In paradise Allah ordered the
Muslims to pray five times a day. Allah, Ar-Rahman, Ar-
Raheem gives us the reward for fifty prayers, when we pray
only five times.
When the Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam returned
the next day and shared his experience, Muslims with strong
faith believed but non-Muslims mocked him saying such travel
was impossible.
Let us think about some of the amazing creatures Allah has
created in this world Dear Muslim child. Monarch
butterflies fly from Canada to Mexico with no map or GPS
eating only milkweed. An earth worm can be cut and divided
into separate new worms. Honeybees can communicate
with specific movements to direct other bees to the best
flowers. Beavers dig long underground canals they can
travel through during winter even when the lakes freeze into
ice. Sea turtles swim thousands of miles and can live for over
hundred years. Is it hard to belief Allah created Buraq which
travelled faster than lightning to take Muhammad
sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam on a spectacular journey? Not at
all. 47
Allah has so much Mercy and Generosity towards
us. Every time we pray one obligatory salah,
He rewards for ten salat. When we pray our
five daily salat we get reward for fifty

Lesson 22 Treaty of ‘Aqabah

Important men from Yathrib came to Makkah to visit the


Kaaba. They heard Prophet Muhammad’s message and
accepted Islam. Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa
sallam sent Mus’ab Ibn ‘Umayr to teach people in
Yathrib about Islam.

Many people in Yathrib became Muslim. Many of them visited


Makkah where they met and agreed to protect and defend the
Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam and his followers if
they came to Yathrib .
This agreement is called the Treaty of ‘Aqabah.

Lesson 23 Hijra

Allah ordered the Muslims to leave Makkah and migrate to


Yathrib. It was not easy for many of the Muslims. They
often had to leave behind family, their houses, their land, and
wealth. When they arrived in Yathrib, they did not have
homes, wealth and often left family back in Makkah.
When the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam arrived, he
changed the name of the city to Madinah. As the new
leader of the city, he had to bring the Muhajirun (the first
converts to Islam) from Makkah together with the new Muslims
of Madinah. To strengthen their relationships and help the
Muhajirun resettle the prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam
paired one Muhajirun with one person from Madinah. The
Muslims of Madinah became known as the Ansar, the Helpers.
The Ansar shared their homes, farms, and wealth evenly by
sharing half of what they owned with the Muhajirun allowing
both groups to live well in obedience to Allah and Prophet
Muhammad sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam.

Reflection prompt
