Mindful Muslim Review
The author brings together stories from seven countries of the traditionally Muslim world, all of which have been ripped apart in modern times by war and invasion. The stories remind us of the timeless wisdom in the understanding of traditional people and point our children’s moral compass toward kindness, compassion, justice, and integrity despite hardship and conflict. The final folktale from the Uighur region of China, which highlights courage, ingenuity, and tenacity, includes mythological rather than Islamic elements.
