The Clear Quran for Kids | Surah 1, and 49-114 | by Dr. Mustafa Khattab | Hardcover Volume 4
A children's book about understanding the Quran: what makes this transliteration unique is that it has been edited by kids, for kids. I have worked diligently with a team of students (mostly grade 2-5) to identify difficult words and replace them with easier ones that carry the same meaning.
1. It has been edited by kids for kids, making it very easy to understand.
2. It utilizes the power of stories to explain Quranic passages.
3. Creative illustrations capture the main theme of each surah (chapter).
4. It provides answers to some of our kids' most challenging questions about their faith, their Creator, and the world around them.
5. Hundreds of background stories and words of wisdom make reading both informative and entertaining.
6. Learning points listed at the beginning of each surah highlight lessons that young students can expect to learn.
7. Surahs are divided into themes so that readers know exactly where to start and where to stop when studying or memorizing passages.
8. It empowers teachers, parents, and guardians to explain passages in a simple way that motivates children to learn, love, and live the message of the Quran.
9. Designed with Muslim kids in mind, so they can easily relate to its teachings and be proud of who they are. It is also suitable for reverts and non-Muslims interested in learning about Islam.
10. Translation approved by Al-Azhar, and endorsed by the Canadian Council of Imams and many scholars and educators.
