Introduction

Salaamunalaikum

Children learn better when teaching is about what they see and experience in their everyday lives. Hence the approach in this book is about making sense of the world around them. The approach is not base on off loading content on children but on helping children develop the correct perspective to life.

The concepts in the book are based around the common teachings of all Muslims. It is centred on the TASBEE E FATEMA which the Prophet taught to his beloved daughter.

There will inevitably be gaps and mistakes in this book and it is our kind request that we are supported in bridging the gaps by all those who are eager to support the development of madressah education. Our humble request is that our approach to develop madressah teaching is not undermined by those who do not fully understand the format.
