A Mercy to the Worlds

A Mercy to the Worlds

A Mercy to the Worlds, the Coming of Muhammad, may Allah bless him and give him peace.

The extraordinary events that led to the arrival of the foretold final Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and give him peace, are told here in a joyous way to inspire love in the heart of any listener young or old., with sacred songs sung by girls of Dar al Zahra, Tarim, Yemen, boys of Hayy al Kharbsheh, Jordan, and Qur’anic recitations by Osama al Shurafa.
When you hear, you'll see, inshaAllah

Through light-hearted and gentle storytelling that inspires love and longing for Allah and His Messenger, Ms. Sinclair introduces children to Muhammad, may Allah bless him and give him peace. She verifies for them, in a way appropriate to their needs, that Islam is the culmination of the Message of Allah. This Message opened with Adam, peace upon him and was sealed with Muhammad, may Allah bless him and give him peace, renewed through time and purified from human alteration by the prophets in between, peace upon them one and all.

I want Arab-speaking children also to be deeply affected by this work, and so I have asked Ms. Sinclair to make a version in Arabic, and indeed to translate it into other languages as well, so that even more children may benefit.

May the grace of Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, and of his noble daughter Fatima, whose name Ms. Sinclair carries, reach her and assist her in her work.

The life and the sayings and doings of the prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and give him peace, have been scrupulously recorded in great detail. These details have then been verified and re-verified, and transmitted by vigorous scholarship through unbroken chains of transmission down into the present day. The details which fill out this telling to inspire children's love of their Prophet have been added according to strict guidelines so as not to conflict with or obscure established history.
