This book is a learning textbook for children in grades 3-6. It
teaches the basic concepts of the last 37 chapters of the holy
Qur'an commonly known as the Juz 'Amma section. It has lively and
engaging graphics, questions for review and an easy-to-follow
transliteration. The book is meant to be disposable, so no Arabic
text is present. Perfect for home schoolers, weekend schools and
full-time schools.
This book is written specifically for all parents who want their
children to have a deeper understanding of Islamic mysticism. But
it is also written for those who want to give their children a
clear view of how the spiritual reality, contained in every
religion, manifests in the material world. The book chronicles a
living tradition of Sufi masters from the time of the Prophet (s)
until the present day. The wonderful pictures include a treasure
hunt in which the name of Muhammad (s) is hidden within the lines.
The hidden names are high-lighted on the cover picture as an
example. See if you can find the light of Muhammad (sas) hidden
within all things.
The great universal Muslim scientists, about thousand years ago,
were at the forefront of knowledge, particularly in the sciences
and technology without ever giving up their religion. In fact Islam
in general and the Qur'an in particular inspired the Muslim
scientists to seek and advance knowledge and paved the way for
modern science. By moving away from the in depth study of the
Qur'an Muslims have lost the golden opportunity of many a
scientific discovery and advancement of knowledge.
Science is not a divine revelation but it provides a means for
the welfare of man and to better understanding the creation of
Allah (SWT), the natural phenomena and their purpose. Islam exhorts
its followers to relentlessly pursue knowledge. One-third of the
Qur'an exhorts its readers to think and reflect upon the natural
phenomena.
Look! There is the new moon in the sky. It's time for Ramadan to
begin. Follow along with one young boy as he abserves the Muslim
holy month with his family. This year, the narrator is finally old
enough to fast, and even the youngest readers will be interested as
he shares his experiences of this special holiday.
We often think that people from a thousand years ago were living in
the Dark Ages. But from the 7th century onward in Muslim
civilization there were amazing advances and inventions that still
influence our everyday lives. People living in the Muslim world saw
what the Egyptians, Chinese, Indians, Greek, and Romans had
discovered and spent the next one thousand years adding new
developments and ideas. Inventors created marvels like the elephant
water clock, explorers drew detailed maps of the world, women made
scientific breakthroughs and founded universities, architects built
huge domes larger than anywhere else on earth, astronomers mapped
the stars and so much more This book takes the wining formula of
facts, photos, and fun, and applies it to this companion book to
the 1001 Inventions exhibit from the Foundation for Science,
Technology, and Civilization. Each page is packed with information
on this little-known history, but also shows how it still applies
to our world today.
