As you all know that Ramadan is a blessed month for Muslims around the world and its almost here.Many of you must have started to prepare for Ramadan grocery ,clothes or even meal preps.We even have to look after cooking ,cleaning as well as kids during fasting which can sometimes become exhausting .Its better if we plan ahead and take out some time to gather up a good collection of Islamic stories for kids so that they can either keep themselves busy while we are preparing iftar rathing than watching youtube videos or maybe when we are free we can read some stories to them or give them some Ramadan related activity sheets.
SOME GREAT AND INTERESTING ISLAMIC BOOKS.
When my kids used to go to Australian school, there were hardly any Muslims there and there wasnt Islamic teaching in their school.At that time I came across some good Islamic stories which one of my friend told me about and I also got to know about some when I visited few bookshops when visiting Pakistan.At that time we tried our best to read few stories to them before bedtime so that can get to know about our religion,Allah,Prophet stories,pillars of Islam and alot more and they began developing interest in them.So here I would like to share few of them with you.
