The Hundredth Name (Picture book)
Sala is sad--sad because his camel, Qadiim, always seems so downcast. But what can he, a mere boy, do to help his camel? Sala has recently learned from his father about the hundred names of Allah--of which mankind knows only ninety-nine. What if Qadiim could learn the hundereth name? Wouldn't that be something to lift the camel's spirits and pride? This rich and eloquent story of a child's simple faith and love for an animal will captivate readers of all ages.
By Shulamith Levey Oppenheim, 1995
