My young friends, Haadiyah and Aymum Sajid, are two creative homeschoolers who are just brimming with ideas. They are always working on one creative project or another, ma shaa Allah.
Haadiyah is 10 and Aymun is 8 and, together, they have produced a lovely book of poetry for the young ones. Young Muslim Rhymes teaches Islamic concepts like the importance of Niyyah, love for our Prophet sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, the Hereafter and the need for a united Ummah. Each poem calls for action by linking its message to real life.
Haadiyah and Aymun lovingly laboured over many aspects of the book — there are vibrant illustrations and best of all, their engaging recitation on the audio CD. They’ve had some wonderful support from friends who helped them with the recording and layout and now, I hope that you too can show them some love.
To learn more about this book, please visit the YMR page at HomeWorks.
I’m giving away 5 copies of this book in shaa Allah. Please leave a comment with your email — it won’t be published — and in shaa Allah, I’ll get in touch with you.
Ma sha Allah! Sounds amazing! It’s wonderful to see such young creativity!
As salaamu aleikum. I would like one please. Jazakallah kheir.
Salaam. I would like one – thank you.

AsSalaamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatahu,
I stumbled across your webpage while researching info on how I could homeschool my son here in Islamabad, Pakistan. I’m completely new to the concept and this country so I would really, really appreciate it if we could get in touch via email. I’d love to talk to someone who has gone through the process because no one I know has done anything like this here. I’d love to try to set up a homeschooling network (or join one if there already exists).
Jazakallahukhairan,
AsSalaamualaikum

Sister Aminah :) Check your email! I’ll send you the rhymes book in shaa Allah and please allow me to pass on your email to the mum so you can ‘talk’ to her.

Such rhymes should be promoted so that our younger generation could learn more love for Islam!
Salams,

All praise to Allah for this wonderful initiative to make Islam easily accessible to the young in a manner that is both creative and appealing to them. Such an innovative approach to make Islam relevant to the times is certainly part of the Sunnah of Rasulullah (saw).
