The Brave Boy contains seven stories about a young boy, Ali bin Abu Talib (علی بِن اَبی طالب رضی الله عنه), cousin of the Blessed Prophet, who showed great courage and determination when he was 11 years old, in committing himself fully and unflinchingly to the faith and way of life that is Islam. How he stood resolutely by his faith, his Blessed Prophet and his God.

Young people, especially 7-11 year olds, will see through these stories that they can play an important role in changing their world once they commit themselves to their God and have trust in Him and strive in His cause.
With full color illustrations.

THE MUSLIM CHILDREN’S LIBRARY aims to provide young readers with something rarely found in current children’s literature; meaning in life, paths to an integrated development of personality, vistas into a world extending beyond this life. A Muslim child especially, can develop a fresh faith, a dynamic commitment, a strong identity, and a throbbing yearning and urge to struggle — all rooted in Islam.

At the same time the books are designed to be a joy to read, to hold a child’s attention and curiosity, and to increase his knowledge. Both texts and general supplementary readings are included. Each title (more than 40 titles have so far been published) is prepared for a particular group but, we hope, may find favor with all.
