Mindful Muslim Review

An exquisitely illustrated book in which the protagonist models the sunnah practice of naming the objects we own and use thereby increasing our gratitude for the blessing and benefit each item brings to our lives. Our beloved Prophet ﷺ owned very few items, but he named many of them. Children can contrast this practice with our current consumer culture of acquiring endless material goods and discarding them after very little use rather than valuing and being content with less.
