What are you currently reading?

[Little_Lion]

Right now I'm reading "Stories of the Prophets" by Sayyed Abul Hasan Ali Nadwi. I know it's supposed to be a children's book, but as a new revert I am very much of the school of thought that says one of the best ways to learn is to learn as a child would, even though I'm almost 40. Start with the simple things and work your way up!

The last book I read wasn't about Islam . . . it was called "Street Gang: The Complete History of Sesame Street" by Michael Davis. Very good read, and an excellent insight to how difficult it was to get the show off the ground and on the air. I just wish it had more on the international broadcasts. :hmm:

I am currently reading Stories of the Prophets by Ibn Katheer. I had this book from a long time but never read it, since I wasn't very fond of reading. But now I don't have a choice. :-/

I've read the Seerah of the Prophet (saw) by the same author and I thoroughly enjoyed it and advice others to read it,when my father read it, it brought tears to his eyes subhanAllah...may Allah bless the Shaykh who wrote the book and grant him Jannatul Firduas. Allahoma ameen.
