The aim of this book is quite simply to tell the story of Jesus and his family, as understood in Islam; to tell it in an engaging way that enables the reader to spend some quality time in the company of a few of the greatest men and women who have ever walked our planet; to create the space to consider their words and their actions, to think about their lives and characters, to get to know them more intimately and, hopefully in the process, to establish some kind of a real and personal relationship with them.

It was reported from both Sayyidatuna 'Aisha (radhi Allahu 'anha) and Sayyiduna 'Ali (karam Allahu wajh) that when the Prophet (sall Allahu 'alayhi wa s-sallam) walked in the area around Mecca he was greeted by the trees and the rocks. This is a story about one of those rocks and it is meant for young children and their parents. It combines several Hadith into a single narrative to tell a true love story. All of creation is alive, worshipping its Creator and loving His Prophet (sall Allahu 'alayhi wa s-sallam). We have much to learn from a simple stone.
