The Island of the Pillars of Islam - Volume 1: The Shahada, published by QalamKidz Editions, is the first installment of a youth series that explores the five pillars of Islam through a captivating adventure, specially designed for children.
This book features Ali and Aisha, a curious and adventurous brother and sister. One day, while exploring the family attic, they discover a mysterious ancient map depicting five islands: the Island of the Shahada, the Island of the Salat, the Island of the Zakat, the Island of Ramadan, and the Island of Hajj. Intrigued, they embark on a fabulous adventure through these islands, each symbolizing a pillar of Islam.
In this first volume, children discover the Island of the Shahada, dedicated to the testimony of faith. Through accessible dialogues, engaging illustrations, and a compassionate tone, the book explains the importance of believing in the oneness of Allah and the message of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. It also introduces the belief in Paradise, Hell, and the role of prophets, especially 'Isa (Jesus) عليه السلام, in Islamic tradition.
Authentic Hadith reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim:
"Whoever testifies that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, alone without partner, and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, will enter Paradise, regardless of his deeds."
This book fits perfectly into an Islamic educational approach, where children learn while having fun, developing their religious vocabulary, their Muslim identity, and their spiritual awareness at the same time. It is a valuable tool for parents, teachers, and educators looking for a quality resource to introduce the youngest to the foundations of the Islamic faith.
