The Table Full of Good

£21.00 GBP

A full table. A knock at the door. Room for one more.

A Qur'an-inspired story about provision, bismillah and what a table full of good things is for.

Inspired by Surah Al-Maʿidah · Ages 3–7 · Hardback edition

Read The Table Full of Good

Dinner is ready.
Warm bread. Cheese. Olives. Soup.

The family gathers and begins with bismillah.

Amira can see the food in front of her. What she cannot see so easily is everything that had to happen before it arrived there: wheat growing, olives ripening, rain falling, hands preparing.

Then comes a knock at the door.

Someone outside is hungry.

Another place is set.

Inspired by Surah Al-Maʿidah, The Table Full of Good moves gratitude gently outward.

First, notice that the meal is a gift.
Then notice who else might need a place around it.

Watercolour, room on every page, and lines short enough for a four-year-old to say back to you. A few notes from the desk where they were written sit underneath.

Amira picking a fig from the laden tree while Mama watches
The fig tree was laden with soft fruit, so heavy the branches bent. She picked one, and it was sweet. “The figs are a gift too,” said Mama.

Every Good Thing · Surah Ar Rahman

We did not want to hand a child the word gratitude and hope it stuck. So she gets a fig instead, off a branch bending under the weight of it, something she can hold and taste and thank Him for.

The word can come later. The feeling has to come first.

Baba kneeling in the soil beside Yusuf at the new shoot
Baba knelt beside him. “You planted it,” he said. “But Allah grew it. That is how every good thing works.”

Yusuf sitting back on his heels, thinking about the shoot
Yusuf thought about that. He had done a small thing, and Allah had done the big one.

Who Makes It Grow? · Surah Al Waqiah

This is the spread we rewrote the most. Yusuf’s part had to remain real: he did plant it. And the growing had to remain something he could never do for himself. Both truths sit in one breath, so effort and trust never end up on opposite sides.

Then we stopped. No “because”. No “therefore”. No moral added afterwards. The moment had already said enough.
