Free delivery over £50
"Grandfather, what happened to the Ahlulbayt after Imam Husayn was killed?" Yasser asked. "What happened to his children, to Lady Zainab, to Imam Sajjad…?"
Zahra wasn’t sure she wanted to know. Grandfather’s face told her it would be even sadder than what they had already witnessed the year before. Yasser, on the other hand, was bubbling with anticipation.
They both watched Grandfather keenly — but for once, he seemed hesitant to speak.
"Yasser… Zahra… my dear children, the Ahlulbayt suffered terribly at the hands of some very evil people. If you take this journey, you must be prepared to witness scenes that will change your lives forever. The atrocities they faced are beyond anything anyone has ever endured — but their courage, strength, and unshakeable faith were equally astonishing. Are you ready?"
Yasser and Zahra did not hesitate. They nodded in unison. They were ready.
"In that case," Grandfather said, "let me tell you a story…"
This powerful Islamic children’s book takes young readers on an emotional and educational journey through the events that followed the tragedy of Karbala — the captivity of the Ahlulbayt, the bravery of Lady Zainab, and the steadfast faith of Imam Sajjad — told in a sensitive, age-appropriate way.
Perfect for:
- Muslim children aged 5–10
- Muharram and Ashura learning at home or madrasa
- Understanding the events after Karbala through storytelling
- Islamic school libraries and Eid gifting
