The Crying Tree of Madinah

Book blurb...


Every Friday, a date palm tree stood beside the Prophet ﷺ in the mosque of Madinah. It listened. It waited. But one day, something changed. The Crying Tree of Madinah is a moving story inspired by a true moment from the life of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. As the story unfolds, young readers witness how even a tree felt love, longing, and comfort through remembrance. The story teaches that kindness is not limited,it reaches beyond people, extending even to the world around us. Through the Prophet’s ﷺ compassion, children discover that mercy can touch every living thing… even a tree.
