Children Around the Prophet by Nizar Abazah explores the world of childhood in the time of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ — and the tenderness with which he treated the young.
Across five chapters, the book journeys through the Prophet's ﷺ own childhood, the children raised during his era, and his personal care for his own sons and daughters. It then turns to the young Companions who grew up in his company, before closing with a collection of hadiths on childhood and Islam's beautiful outlook on children.
Warm, accessible and rooted in authentic sources, this is a wonderful read for parents, teachers and anyone wanting to see the Prophetic example of mercy towards children — and a lovely companion to Women Around the Prophet from the same publisher.
