A story of Ashura through the eyes of two young horses

Foad and Noor learn about Muharram and Ashura through their grandfather Zuljanah, who recounts his life beside Imam Hussain, including the journey from Mecca to Karbala. The horse-centered frame gives the book a way to introduce religious history and ideas about prayer, spiritual awakening, and the Imam’s values. Its subject is rooted in Muslim religious tradition, with Zuljanah’s recollections connecting the young horses’ questions to Imam Hussain’s life and journey.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in Muslim religious fiction

Book overview

What is the philosophy of Ashura? How does Imam Hussain teach us how to pray? Follow the story of two young horses, Foad and Noor, as they discover the meaning of Muharram through the wise words of their grandfather, Zuljanah. Travel on the life journey of the noble horse of Imam Hussain as Zuljanah takes you through his experience of accompanying the Imam throughout his life, including his journey from Mecca to Karbala - always being at the Imam's side. This beautifully written short story focuses on the spiritual awakening of the heart. It is a resonating work of literature that conveys the depth of Islamic philosophy and the principled values of the Imam to broad audiences interested in acquiring meaningful insights on the path of life.

 

The story was specially selected and presented at Harvard University prior to publication.
