Why I Wrote This Book
As an Islamic Studies teacher, before I teach my little students how to worship Allah, I spend time helping them build a relationship with Allah. We do this by learning His beautiful names and hearing stories about how Allah created the world and created them.
That's what I wanted to weave into this story. It gently introduces children to Allah as their Creator, making it a beautiful way to begin helping children know Allah and learn about His names.
Why I Wrote this Book? I wrote this book because I wanted children to know the what, the how, and the why of Qur’an memorisation. This book was one of the first children’s books on hifdh and is still one of the most captivating in its illustrations and simple language. There is a child in the world right now beginning their journey, and a child with the potential in every home, and this book is for that child, so they can see themselves in the story and the pictures, and know the beautiful reward waiting for them and their parents, insha’Allah.
