Adab Series I: Parents & Teachers — Islamic Character Workbook for Kids (Bilingual English–Arabic)

Most Islamic workbooks teach children what to memorise. This one teaches them how to behave — starting with the two relationships they live inside every day.

Four illustrated stories from the Qur'an, built around a question parents actually ask: how do I raise a child who is respectful without raising a child who is simply obedient?

Ibrahim disagreed with his father about the most important thing in the world — and still called him "ya abati," my dear father. Luqman gave his son nine pieces of advice and ended with the smallest one: lower your voice. Maryam answered her teacher's question in four words that pointed straight past herself. Each story shows adab in action, not adab as a list of rules.

What makes this different

Adab goes both ways. Alongside the child's activities, there's a reflection sheet for the parent. Children copy the voice they hear, not the lecture they're given.

Every lesson is anchored to a specific ayah, cited by surah and verse, so you can check it yourself and go deeper when your child asks.

Bilingual English–Arabic, with transliteration, so a parent who doesn't read Arabic can still teach it confidently.

The four stories

1. The Mother Who Made a Promise — a story about mothers
2. Wisdom a Father Left Behind — a story about fathers
3. The Teacher Who Learned Too — a story about teachers
4. Once a Son, Now a Father — a story about growing up
