Review Quotes
"Of the highest priorities for the Muslim community today is the education of children, and particularly in the foundational sacred knowledge of Islam. This book will go a long way in fulfilling that need, God willing, by presenting the basics of purification and prayer in a creative form of rhyme for kids. We ask Allah to place much benefit in this book, and to bless our youth with sound knowledge, beautiful practice, and generosity of soul." -- SHAYKH FARAZ KHAN, ZAYTUNA COLLEGE FACULTY MEMBER AND TRANSLATOR OF ASCENT TO FELICITY
"As a teacher of both young and mature, I am constantly searching for solid, accurate, and reliable fiqh resources in English that engage the student and allows them to memorize with ease. In our Islamic tradition, learning texts through poetry has proven to be one of the most effective methods of memorization and application of Islamic rulings. Instead of fiqh being tedious, dry and overwhelming, Ameena illucidates the basics in a fun, poetic and engaging manner. Her style of creative poetry, along with Reyhana's engaging and colorful illustrations, is sure to catch the attention of the young reader and seeker of sacred knowledge. I applaud Ameena for all of the effort and diligence she has put into this valuable work. I highly recommend these poems to not just the young, aspiring student of the religion, but to everyone who wishes to learn and appreciate the nuances and ease of everyday fiqh. This work is truly for both the young, and the young at heart." -- USTADHA SHAMIRA CHOTHIA AHMED, THE RAHMAH FOUNDATION
