"The perfect book to introduce children to the act of giving charity."

This simple but beautiful book introduces children to the third pillar of Islam: Zakat as well as other types of charity (sadaqah). It starts by acknowledging that Allah has given all of us many blessings with some of us having more and others less, and that those with more have an obligation towards the poor and needy. It mentions some of the different types of charity Muslims can give and answers questions such as why and how much charity should be given.

It is a book to be treasured by children, with large, colourful illustrations and carefully written text that children will understand and enjoy.

My First Book About Charity is the newest book in the My First Book series. It talks about the traditions and teachings of giving charity, and numerous ways that kindness can be carried out.

My First Book About Charity starts with acknowledges that Allah has given more blessings than can be counted, and some of have more than others. To help those that have less, Allah wants his followers to give charity. Zakat is one of the pillars that is required, and sadaqah is an extra reward that is not just money, but includes things liked smiling at others, saying kind words, and the like.

The book features 26 pages with soft illustrations and smiling joyful faces. Each page emits warm emotions.

The pages contain different verses from the Quran, with more and additional information/facts about charity in the backmatter.

The information is written in simplicity that grows with young children. My First Book About Charity, while aimed at young children, could also be a fun informational introduction to older children and teens, as well as adults, regardless of religious affiliation.
