The Bowing of the Stars: A Telling of Moments from the Life of Prophet Yusuf (Pbuh)

Allah
says, ＂Be!＂ And it is.

Amidst
the chaotic symphony of bustling life -- donkeys braying, merchants calling out
their wares, great carts groaning along laden with clucking hens and crowing
roosters, this book invites you to taste the unwavering patience and triumphant
victory of Prophet Yusuf and his grieving yet persevering father, Prophet
Yaqub, peace be upon him.

A
shepherd boy dreams that his brothers and parents bow down before him in a far-off land. But he finds pain and hardship instead, stretching out before him for
years, until at last, at the Hand of the Great Fashioner, he emerges to save a
great nation from starvation.

His
remarkable journey culminates in a breathtaking act of forgiveness that echoes
through the ages, resonating with us even today.

Encounter
the story on the richly illustrated pages of this book and then return to the
chapter of the Qur’an, where you will find that this is indeed ＂the Most
Beautiful of Stories＂, a living story resounding in your being, still revealing
Allah’s wisdom and beauty to those who seek it. It will captivate your heart,
young and old!
