The Boy & Owl

A boy and a wise owl set out to understand who God is. Together, by reasoning step by step, they explore some of Allah's names and attributes: that He is merciful, compassionate, just and protecting.

The Boy & Owl is a story in verse by Siraj Mowjood, made as a teaching aid to help children learn the attributes of God. Fons Vitae publishes it in hardcover, and Aisha Changezi illustrated it.
