My First Book About Salah

Sara Khan was born in Stuttgart, Germany, before moving to the UK at the age of 12. Fluent in German, Arabic and Urdu, Sara is both a bestselling author and qualified translator. She holds a first-class BA (hons) in Linguistics and Arabic, as well as a MA in Translation and Interpreting Studies both from the University of Manchester. As part of her degree, Sara lived in Amman, Jordan, with her husband Naveed, and studied Arabic at the University of Jordan. Living in Jordan enabled them to travel across the Middle East and experience numerous Muslim cultures, traditions, and historic sites in places such as Cairo, Damascus, Jerusalem, Madinah and Makkah. Her postgraduate research focused on Qur’an translation and adaptation for children. Now the proud mother of a little girl called Raya, Sara aims to build upon her academic background and personal experience to help fill the gap when it comes to presenting Islam to toddlers and young children in an age-appropriate way.

One of my favourite sets of Islamic books!! My First Book About Salah begins with an introduction to the story of Isra wal Mi’raj and how the salah was *gifted* to the Prophet (saw). It moves on to tell us about the blessings and benefits of prayer, about the adhan, wudhu, parts of salah, and even a beautiful page dedicated to Surah Fatiha. I love how there’s so much information without an overwhelming feel - it flows perfectly. We have the trademark illustrations by Ali Lodge that are delightfully pretty and inviting and truly capture a reader's attention. Everything about these books is wonderfully thought out - text and presentation.-  Asma Scribendi “Another brilliant addition to our collection and great forgifting too” - @play_aplenty “This is so beautiful” - @MySalahMat“Another masterpiece” - @letslearnmama “This gorgeous book details the revelation of Salat and howit came during the Israa and Miraj. I loved how it provided the definition ofSalat as a gift from Allah, and the soothing pictures and beautiful wordscompliment each other in teaching little ones to love Salat. The book describes Salat, wudu, the athan, and details alot of useful information for kids. It contains a picture of Surah Fatiha, and beautiful imagesof children and adults praying. This book is a beautiful introduction for Salat foryoungsters and older kids alike!“ - Shifa Saltagi Safadi @muslimmommyblog
