| Publisher Description: Based on ancient legends and written with interfaith sensitivity, this collection of new and original Muslim fables sparkles with inspiration, adventure, humor, and even romance. Qur'anic scriptures and Biblical references solidify the spiritual truths of these lively tales, which teach universal values such as patience, morals, ethics, and courtesy. Muslim readers find their own beliefs clarified and reinforced, while those of another (or of no organized) faith learn something about Islam in a gentle, non-proselytizing manner. Christian and Jewish readers experience their faiths not as entities separate from Islam, but as integral parts of the great circle encompassed by the Islamic ideal of universal peace. All readers discover that, although the stories are set in times and places far different from our own, the messages are still relevant in today's world. With its inspiring text and 46 vibrant watercolor illustrations, Where the Ghost Camel Grins is a spiritual treasure for all faiths and ages. |
