Mindful Muslim Review
This set of beautiful picture books filled with rich illustrations and creative adjectives, can be used to teach reverence for what is the most abundant of Allah’s ﷻ creations—in this case water—and an appreciation for the knowledge Allah ﷻ has given us put those creations to good use. This book can be easily scaffolded for different age groups if read aloud—reading the simple story to younger ones and discussing the more complex concepts with older children. We recommend the parent read the information in the back first to build a richer experience while looking at each page.
