author, Elizabeth Lymer, who has written numerous works of Islamic children’s
literature.
books available for the English-speaking market. In my experience, there is a
lot of children’s literature available for Muslim kids, but so much of it is
dry and uninspiring.
Fear not… Elizabeth Lymer has brought a whimsy and charm
back into Muslim Children’s Books!
of the author, shines through. They are a testimony to how talented and creative
our Muslim sisters are…and that makes me so happy!
The messages and stories these books tell have real worth
and merit, and are far more deserving of a place on your bookcase, than any of
the ‘modern fluff’ that is so readily available today.
Hector Hectricity and the Missing Socks,
Muslim Lullabies &
Baby Traveller Bismillah
.
So let’s get started!
Hector Hectricity and the Missing Socks
keep going missing, and about how they find the monster that is taking them. It
teaches children to first make duaa to Allah (swt) and then ask others for
help.
It is a funny and silly story that kids will love; but underneath the
silliness is a really important lesson about turning to Allah (swt) and
trusting in Him.
It also has a knitting pattern in the back in case anyone
fancies knitting themselves some rainbow socks!

Enjoying Hector Hectricity! |
I would recommend this book for children aged 2-5.
This book has just launched! You can purchase a copy of this book from the IHRC Shop
or Amazon
Muslim Lullabies
Islamically-themed lyrics to well-known English lullabies.
All the lullabies have themes from the Quran within them and teach bedtime practices from the Sunnah.
It is such a wonderful experience to sing beautiful songs of dhikr to send your baby to sleep. It has been so special to sing these lullabies to my children and create those magical memories together.
One of my favourites
is:
Hush Now Habibty (To the tune of Rock-a-bye, Baby)
However, if you are not familiar with English children’s lullabies, then I
think you would struggle to use this book. Although if you live in the U.S. Muslim Lullabies is also available to buy on Audio CD.

They got the giggles!!! |
This book would be a great addition to your home library and hopefully a means of creating beautiful memories with your children.

Baby Traveller Bismillah
It introduces children to the five senses, to different modes of transport, and
to dhikr.
The word Allah is repeated frequently throughout the book. I hope that my baby will be saying Allah soon …because of this book!
The words
our children hear, and the stories we read them, do leave a lasting impression.
I am certain that hearing this book, and the dhikr it contains, will impact
positively on her and leave a lasting imprint on her heart…insha’Allah.
