The tale teaches compassion, caring about children’s feelings, and following the Prophet Muhammad’s beautiful character through kindness.
What the tale is about
Sufi lives with his mother in a spotless green country and eagerly watches the mysterious map inherited from his father. When a new sign appears, he sets off with Nagr the Squirrel and his friend Ruhi on a magical journey to rose-scented Medina. There, Wise Uncle Bilgi tells them stories about the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), including how he comforted a boy grieving for his sparrow and welcomed a fatherless girl with kindness. Touched by these examples of compassion, Sufi and Ruhi promise to follow the Prophet’s beautiful character before the clock brings them home.
