The Muslims
Author: Zanib Mian
Age: 8-11 years old
RRP: £8.99
Paperback
Omar is a kid with a huge imagination. He knows a thing or two about getting through life as a nine year old Muslim in Britain. When Omar’s life is turned upside down, as he moves to a new school and becomes the subject of the class bully’s attention, his imagination goes into overactive mode. He attempts to apply the Islamic teachings his family have equipped him with, to his now very challenging life, with entertaining results!

Zanib Mian, The Muslims is pretty unique in that I personally haven’t come across a book about Muslims written in a fun and amusing way, but also tackling some difficult issues.
The book isn’t written in your standard way but in a comic style with a variety of text styles and various comic images.
There are many laugh out moments and things that children can really relate to. My eldest agreed it is funny and as she is a complete bookworm and widely read, she isn’t always easy to impress.
One of my favourites from the book has to be the comparison of a Muslim Woman and a Witch.
 
I don’t want to reveal too much about the book but I would definitely recommend it for the older children. Muslim Childrens Books have been kind enough to offer my readers a 20% discount on the book if you use my special code on their website: Muslim Children’s Books.

Ma shaa Allah.. Seems like a very interesting book for kids. Jazakallahu Khayr for sharing
WOW! I absolutely love the idea of this! I loved reading growing up but can’t remember ever picking up a book that was written about Muslims. I rememer reading Biff & Chip books but nothing about Muslims and I love that thats changed today! I hope your eldest continues reading as even at my big age I cant keep my head out of a book sometimes!!
This is too cute! Thank you for this post that is drawing attention to such a worthy book. I am going to snatch up a few for gifts insha’Allah! I love the way you snapped a few pics of the content so I could see the humor of the author. <3
Thanks again!
This is giving me some hope when my children are a little but older they will have something to relate to. Books looks good! Love your review
Zainb is a great author. This looks like a fun book for youngsters, I’m planning to purchase a copy for my 10 year old son. 🙂
Thank you for sharing this review. The book looks fun and informative. It’s also available on Amazon.
It sounds a very good book. Will get it, Insha Allah.
Being a graphic designer, I judge books not just by their content but also their cover. This one seems great both ways! Great review!
These are so useful books…good collection & creative + informative .
