Islam commands parents to teach kids about Islam from the beginning. Their kids can become a charity only if they educate them on the principles of Islam. In order to educate the youth and children about Islam, a number of resources including books have been published which have proven quite fruitful. In spite of this, a complete Islamic education book series felt missing.
Islamic Studies Series is a set of Islamic books recently published by Darussalam designed for children of every age. The purpose of the book series is to teach kids about the pillars of Islam and the importance of manners. The book explains the basics of Islam, the importance of the pillars of Islam, and the value of etiquettes in daily life.
One of the things we Muslims miss so much is that we consider the knowledge of the world as “education” and do not consider learning the commands of Allah as the major and fundamental part of “education”. This is the basis on which our schools, colleges and universities prepare their syllabi. The absence of proper Islamic studies courses is one of the root causes of all the issues we are facing today.
The book is being sold like a hot cake and people are appreciating the author’s efforts and hard work. Read the blog Islamic Studies Series for more details.https://blog.darussalamstore.com/islamic-studies-book-series/

Arabic is a language adored by the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and praised by Allah Almighty. It’s the language of the people of paradise and is known as the oldest language that survived. The Holy Quran and Hadith are also in the same language that means one needs to learn the Arabic language to comprehend the meaning and message of Islam.
Arabic Course Grade 1 is one of the best books written on the basics of the Arabic language and explains grammar rules in such a simple way that everyone can understand them properly.
The book includes dialogues and teaches the reader Arabic through a conversational style. Additionally, each lesson ends with an exercise that helps the reader recap the lessons of the chapter. This book series is divided into 3 parts and all parts should be read for better understanding or a single book can be bought in case of children as per their learning grade.
The book is the translation of Arabic book “دروس اللغة العربية لغير الناطقين بها” which was written by an eminent Muslim author and scholar DR. V Abdur-Rahim. The author is known for his remarkable contributions and services for Isalm. Darussalam Publications have made some changes in the book to add more value to the book and help people learn grammar.
The book has received immense appreciation from the readers and can be seen on five-star ranking on several platforms. Those who are interested in buying a copy can purchase it from the Darussalam store. https://darussalamstore.com/en/arabic-course-grade-1-arabic-1.html

Darussalam has recently published a book series named “Stories of Prophets (A.S)” for kids that has grabbed the attention of many Muslim parents. The hot-selling book series comprises 15 books and each sharing the story of a Prophet (A.S).
Vibrant colors and appealing illustrations add value to the quality of the book and also help to develop kids’ interest in the story. Many parents have appreciated the effort of Darussalam and regarded it as the best book series they can use as bedtime stories for kids.
Islam has provided us with the ideal role models in the form of the Prophets. The Quran first introduces us to the life of the first man and Prophet, Adam (A.S), and together through the Quran and Sunnah, we have comprehensive information of all the Major Prophets. The only issue is teaching young children about the Prophets in a way that they can easily understand.
Islam has supported all its teachings practically in the form of role models. The best of which is our beloved Prophet (PBUH) and secondly other Prophets عليهم السلام of Islam. Being a Muslim, we believe in the teachings of all Prophets (A.S) and respect them without any discrimination and the same we have to teach to our kids.
The best thing about the book series is its easy and simple language. The language of these books is very simple and very easy to understand and is targeted towards young kids. These short stories for kids are not only enjoyable but also provide useful moral lessons. You can buy the book series from the Darussalam store and order it online.
