Summary
Details

Written for children, youth, and new Muslims, this book offers a clear and structured introduction to the essential beliefs and practices of Islam. Grounded in the understanding of the Hanafi school and the principles of Ahl al-Sunnah wa'l-Jamāʿah, the content avoids unnecessary complexity while remaining true to traditional teachings.

The first section presents the foundations of faith: belief in Allah, the angels, the revealed books, and the prophets. Each topic is explained with simplicity and consistency, making it easy to follow and remember-even for younger readers.

The main part of the book focuses on the Five Pillars of Islam: purification (ṭahārah), prayer (ṣalāh), fasting (ṣawm), charity (zakāh), and pilgrimage (ḥajj). The explanations are practical and accessible, making this a reliable resource for learning step-by-step, whether at home, in school, or independently.

The final section includes a selection of duʿās (supplications) and surahs (chapters from the Qur'an), offering immediate tools for daily spiritual connection.

This is a valuable guide for anyone seeking to understand their religion with clarity, stay grounded in Sunni tradition, and build confidence in practicing their faith in everyday life.
