A Fish in a Basket: The Story of Prophet Musa and al-Khaḍir

by Muizz Rafique, Aisha Changezi (Illustrator)

Overview

Safiyya likes to ask questions, sometimes difficult ones. Her father, who enjoys long walks with his daughter, will often respond to those questions with stories from the Qur'an.

On one particular day, Safiyya's question prompts her father to share the extraordinary story of Prophet Musa and al-Khaḍir, upon them both be peace. Through this story Safiyya is reminded of the humility and patience required for her spiritual journey, and that there is more to life than meets the eye.

Join Safiyya and her father as they journey through the story about the fish in a basket and the remarkable lessons that are taught upon the meeting of two great seas of knowledge!
