My First Book About the Quran

via My First Book About the Quran | Kube Publishing

My-First-Quran-Front-cover-blackborder (1)

My First Book About the Qur’an – Teachings for toddlers and young children, is Kube Publishing’s new board book!  Considered as “The perfect book to introduce children to the teachings in the Qur’an..”

Inside this board book toddlers and young children will find out about the Qur’an’s beautiful teachings: to care for all creation; to respect the books of the Prophet and God; to be good to one another; and to believe in Allah, the Creator.

Stunning illustrations, full of colour, bring the pages to life and the carefully written text is simple, easy to understand, and suitable to be read aloud.

At the end, the book also features some facts about the Qur’an and common questions children might ask, such as: what does the word “Qur’an” actually mean? Which are useful for starting an introductory discussion about the Qur’an with your children, in a madrasa or a classroom!

Author Sara Khan shares her thoughts on her book, “Starting with My First Book About the Qur’an, I hope to capture young children’s attention through simple language and colourful illustrations in a board book format that is suitable for their age group and presents them with the fundamental teachings of the most important book in Islam.

I hope it becomes a treasured introduction to the Qur’an and Islam and that it will be accessible to every young child and parent who values their child’s Islamic education or would like to raise their awareness and understanding with regards to a religion or way of life that may be different from their own.”

Sara Khan is a writer, translator, and PhD candidate based in the UK.

I’m Learning About Eid-ul-Fitr

eidulfitr

Farah and Faisal were very excited. They were looking forward to celebrating Eid-ul-Fitr after a month-long of fasting in Ramadan.

After maghrib prayers, their family went to a park where the sky was clear. Many families had gathered there to see the new moon. Everyone was thrilled to see a very thin crescent moon in the night sky. “Eid Mubarak, Have a happy and Blessed Eid!”, they greeted each other.

This book tells the story of two young children living in London, and how they celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr.  They visited the mosque at Regent’s Park on the morning of Eid and paid zakat fitrah. After the Eid prayers, they met many friends dressed in their best clothes. They embraced one another with the greeting “Eid Mubarak!” Outside the mosque, there were stalls selling food and drinks and everyone was in the mood of celebration. They even stopped by to enjoy carnival rides at a park.

Back at home that afternoon, their father explained to them that Eid-ul-Fitr is a day to remember and glorify Allah and thank Him for all the blessings that He has bestowed upon them. Allahu Akbar!

Learning points :

Throughout the book, the author has inserted simple daily duas, such as “Dua after a meal” and “Dua for parents”,  that children can learn to memorise and practise in their daily lives.

ama_fatima

Ama Fatima loved children, and after a month-long of fasting in Ramadan, she always made sure that the children would have a great Eid. Eid-ul-Fitr was an occasion for great fun and celebration, especially when Ama Fatima was around. Days before the coming of Eid, she had started packing her Eid boxes, slowly filling them with goodies, sweets and gifts for the children as the last days of Ramadan passed by.

“Alhamdulillah, the moon has been sighted. It’s Eid tomorrow!” said Bilal excitedly.

The children clapped their hands and hugged each other. They could not wait for Ama Fatima’s Eid party tomorrow.

Join Ama Fatima’s family as they celebrated Eid by thanking Allah for His blessings, helping the poor and the needy around them and sharing their love and happiness by having a great Eid party for the children.

Welcome Ramadan

welcome_ramadan

Welcome Ramadan! tells the story of two playful siblings, Bilal and Maysa, as they eagerly await the coming of Ramadan and their interesting reactions to the changes in their daily routine throughout the fasting month.

It is written in simple prose which makes it fun for children to read the rhyming words on each page. As the story unfolds, the spirit of Ramadan, such as patience, perseverance, self-discipline, sacrifice, and compassion and sympathy for those that are less fortunate, are cleverly woven into the daily activities that the two children experience.

Come join Bilal and Maysa in welcoming Ramadan!
