Many years ago, across distantlands and faraway empires, a series of letters were sent to some of the mostpowerful men on earth. These were no ordinary letters, however- they were fromnone other than the Last Prophet of God and the message they contained was onefor all time.

It was the year 7AH (628AD), andthe dawn of a new era for the early Muslims as they welcomed the promise ofpeace on the horizon. The time was now right. The Prophet (pbuh) decided toinvite the wider world to a better way of living.

Messengers were chosen to visitthe opulent palaces of the Roman Empire, travel by boat up the Nile toAlexandria, cross vast planes to a Kingdom in Abyssinia and approach theextravagant fortresses of mighty Persia.

The task at hand was monumentalfor those selected to deliver the message. Reactions to the lettersvaried in extremes, but all carry equally valuable lessons. Within thepreparation, delivery and reactions to these letters, we learn aboutfaith, power, and the human condition. You will see how Letters from aProphet contains timeless truths just as important and relevant to ourlives today, as they were back when they were penned. Join us on a profoundjourney of discovery...

Reviews for Letters From a Prophet

"Letters from a Prophet"" by Zimarina Sarwar is an impressive addition to seerah-related literature for kids (middle grade and up). This unique book goes into detail about the special letters of da'wah that RasulAllah (SallAllahu alayhi wa sallam) sent to four major rulers of his time: Emperor Heraclius, Al-Muqawqis, King Chosroes, and an-Najaashi. More than just providing the letters, however, this book goes into depth about the context of each letter, the letters' recipients and their reactions, and relevant lessons for us to glean from each incident. The quality of this book is impressive. Highly recommended for any masjid, madrasah, Islamic school classroom, and home - this is a must-have for learning about the Seerah - Muslim Bookstagram Awards"
