Get up before your children. Snatch that hour even if you have to study in your pyjamas to save yourself the time it would take to get dressed. I choose books that align with her interests and ones she can easily comprehend. I also jot down the new words to explain to her the next day. Her favourite part of our reading routine is when I mimic the voice of the characters to make it more entertaining.” It’s a story of 2 brothers fighting over a toy. The boy gets angry easily because he then bites his friend and then sits on a thinking chair – where his thoughts revolve like “Alwadud the loving one. Puts us right when we go wrong. Al-Wadud, we both pray. Fill our hearts with love today”. It’s the boy’s journey from anger to love. I loved the diverse characters as it’s so hard to find in any form of media nowadays. It could easily be an actual print book. 23) AlQaswa – the special camel The best stories for children are in the Quran, no doubt about it. The Quran is filled with beautiful narratives that carry so many lessons for our children – of all ages – to learn from. Stories that go beyond time and place and will allow them to grow in their religion and face the challenges of this world, as well as prepare for the Afterlife insha’Allah. But until our children are able to understand the Quran on their own, even with a translation, they will need some help to make sense of the unparalleled Speech of their Lord. This is why so many children’s authors have made it their mission to make those stories accessible to young minds and, at the same time, allow parents to find reliable sources to use for story time, at home or at school. Because the Quran can be difficult for us, adults, to grasp as well, right? The story of Dawud (السلام عليه) focuses on bravery who throws a stone at the giant who challenges the whole army to fight him. It also talks about Zaboor and the beautiful voice of prophet Dawud (السلام عليه).
No time for inside pictures, sorry, there 5 hours left before Ramadan and I still have tons of prep ahead of me insha’Allah.

Story of Sulaiman (السلام عليه) discusses how hoopoe tells him about the nation of Sheba and their queen. He sends the message of Allah to the queen who then visits him and accepts Islam after seeing his genuine da’wah (when he didn’t accept her bundles and bundles of gifts). 15) Maryam and Isa (السلام عليهم)

I put it together the first draft in 2015, specifically for my eldest son who hated writing (the past may not be the most appropriate tense choice but, yeah…). All I did was to tidy it up, correct those mistake that I found and consolidate it into one single PDF document. I also used the same material from the original workbook to make a workbook in a format suitable for children for whom writing is not like having their blood drained. So we have:
