The Quran My Best Friend

This picture book is written in rhyming verses from beginning to end. The main lesson of the book is knowing the value of the Qur'an. I really had high hopes for this book but it left me puzzled. There are just too many things going on. I feel like the beginning and the end go together okay, but the middle makes me confused and is presented in a disorganized manner. The story of the spider web and the pigeon's nest by the cave is not in the Quran, rather proven to be weak hadith narrations by some scholars. I think the purpose of the above mentioned events is to capture some history that is included in the Quran, however it was poorly executed. There is no smooth transition between one event and another. As a reader, it makes me curious to know how these were chosen to be part of the book among countless others stories. The illustrations depicting them make me uneasy. Also, it seems to me the target audience isn't very clear. On one hand it is a picture book, on the other, the language proves to be geared towards older kids. I really like the benefit of the concluding pages from the book: Tips for parents and educators, duas from the Qur'an and glossary. Overall, the rhyming is done quite well and with the guidance of the right editor, this had the potential to be an inspirational source for little Muslim readers.

This valuable book is not only a great addition to your children’s home library, but a resourceful tool for you as an educator. I found the practical tips (at the end of the book) very informative and I plan to use them.Worth getting to cultivate the love of the Quran in your children’s heart. Also, the illustration is phenomenal!

Overpriced.Bad quality book - papers are really thin.Could have been so much better. Has potential but not the kind of book that you would read over and over.

Fantastic children’s book!!My daughter absolutely loved it. Well written and the pictures add a wonderful expansion of one’s imagination. Made it especially meaningful since book arrived during Ramadan. Highly recommend!

This book is great and i love how they have a glossary in the back of the book and duas ! I do thing this is for older ages, like my 4 & 5 year old enjoys it but older ages will benefit tremendously from these words and duas Inshallah bc they can incorporate it in their daily lives. But its still good to have for the younger ages !
