Title

Interesting Reading!

Question

I just wanted to ask what do you look for when buying reading books for Muslim children? For me, a lot of the books bore me when I read them to my kids. I think that you can teach Islamic knowledge, but at the same time shouldn't the books knock your socks off!

 

Jazak Allah Khayr!

Answer

In the name of Allah the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. May He bestow His peace and blessings on His messenger, Muhammad, his family, Companions, and all of those who follow them sincerely.

 

As salamu 'alaykum,

 

I’m not so sure the books themselves matter, actually, because kids like to use their imaginationand they feed off the person reading. You should try and MAKE the book exciting by adding your own information, funny voices, sound effects, questions, etc.

 

My daughter has some very simple children’s books that on the surface are pretty plain, so my wife and I like to improvise to make them more interesting. It’s more about a means to interact and educate children, I think, rather than just reading the book straight away.If you’re bored reading the book, then your child is going to be bored listening to it. So make it fun and educational for them!!
