Salaams Zainab Usman.

I was just at Niagara last week! And I am speaking with another youth group on Jan 30 in Toronto. You can email me (my contact info is on my site) and we can take it from there.

In reply to Abu Ghufran.

Salaams.

First of all, the book and all cartoons / comic in it has been reviewed by Sheikh Yusuf Badat of the Islamic Foundation of Toronto who has deemed it “Islamically acceptable”.

Second, I never show the FACE of any Prophet.

Here are some of the rules I follow in the depiction, and also links to some associated Fatwas on drawing in Islam.

Hope this helps, Mezba

Actual question was not about face or no-face,

It looks to be BLASPHEMY !

(by depicting lego characters for pious examples)

This method of presentation is HARAM (PROHIBITED) in Islam. See this Fatwa (from Jamiatul Ulama (KZN))

Respected Brother/Sister in Islam
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatuh
This innovative method of teaching children the stories of the Prophets is unacceptable.

Besides the fact that picture making of animate objects is prohibited in Islam, depicting the Prophets of Allah through cartoons or figurines is also grossly disrespectful and is therefore not permissible.

The same will apply to the Sahabah (illustrious companions) of the Holy Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wasallam.

It is of utmost importance that we develop admiration and reverence for the Ambiyaa and Sahaabah within our children by reading their stories to them. Portraying them as cartoon characters will negatively impact on their understanding of these great personalities.

May Allah guide us all to do that which is pleasing to him at all times. Aameen.
And Allah Knows Best.

Wassalaam.

I really liked the presentation and I want to show it tomorrow to my classmates and teacher tomorrow in our Qura`an class.
