Your child’s first questions build their relationship with Allah upon love and certainty.

How did I come into this world? How did this egg that I see on my plate in the morning come to be? What about that bird I hear singing on the tree? That beautiful flower? That magnificent cloud high in the sky?
Who made these things? And who placed them in these places?

Many questions invade the mind of our young child whenever they look around. They are filled with wonder and curiosity, driven by an innate eagerness to recognize the signs of Allah’s existence and His power to create and bring into being. They are surprised to discover that these creatures are not only present by Allah’s command, but that they are bound together by a covenant of sensing Allah’s love and spreading across the universe, pulsing with gratitude and servitude to Allah, the Loving Creator.

With a gentle and enjoyable style and simple words, build your young child’s faith through the story “What Did You See?”, so they may begin their first steps in exploring what surrounds them and recognizing Allah’s Most Beautiful Names with love and gratitude.
