Bedtime Sunnahs: Emulating the Prophet one night at a time


We are raising the next generation of Muslim Leaders ...

Caregivers feel the burden of raising well mannered, Muslim children. Help ease their burden and yours buy investing in the right tools. Tools that are created with this new generation of children in mind, tools that are relate-able to them and the lifestyle they live. Tools they will actually enjoy using.  Let's make learning and loving the deen fun for children!  Please support me by ordering a copy to add this book to your child, niece/nephew, or grandchild's collection today.  And although many have already pre-ordered we wanted to give the opportunity to others to donate to the cause of helping to get the
printing fees off the ground.

A bedtime routine our children can relate to.


Reflecting the routines of Muslim children

I found dozens of bedtime books. Some about jumping monkeys, llamas, and bedtime trains or boats.  None of which actually reflected our bedtime routine.  As a first time mom, I was determined to instill a love of deen and seeking knowledge in my son.  I wanted to create a library full of both secular and Islamic books.  The latter, however, I found to be quite difficult.  I hope this book can help provide all caregivers the opportunity to plant the seeds of faith and inspire their little ones to grow strong branches of prophetic character, the way I hope it will inspire mine.

“Have you not considered how Allah presents an example, [making] a good word like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches [high] in the sky? It produces its fruit all the time, by permission of its Lord. And Allah presents examples for the people that perhaps they will be reminded.” (Qur’an 14:24-5)


A Basic Foundation of our Deen

“Say, [O Muhammad], "If you should love Allah, then follow me, [so] Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." 3:31


The basic foundation of our deen is to love Allah (swt) and His messenger.  By supporting the printing of Bedtime Sunnahs worldwide, you are gaining the reward of helping caregivers plant the seeds of faith.  Bedtime Sunnahs helps children connect to the Prophet (saw) by implementing his Sunnah in a fun way.  They learn basic Islamic terminology and begin their development in Islamic literacy effortlessly.  By donating you will not only receive your own book before Ramadan, but you will also receive an extra gift, plus, InshAllah for everyone who reads the book you will get good deeds!

What people are saying about the book ...


“Bedtime Sunnahs with its diverse portray of Muslim families, captivating rhymes and colorful art work is an excellent text that will serve educators and parents well as the work to educate young children.”

-Shaykh Suhaib Webb, Resident Scholar, ICNYU


"Bedtime Sunnahs is such an encouraging book for kids and adults! This is the perfect book to help families create nighttime rituals following the beloved Prophet (peace be upon him) in a fun and supportive way. The rhyming words are so catchy and make it easy for kids to remember, as well as make it enjoyable for adults to read to their kids! I especially love that there are references in the end which teach the adult reader where the sunnan come from. This is a beautiful addition to children's Islamic literature written by a Shaykha who is invested in teaching the future generation how to love following the bedtime rituals of our Prophet (peace be upon him)."

-Maryam Amirebrahimi, Mother, Hafith Qur'an, MS in Education, Al Azhar University Student


"I have been looking for a good Islamic book to include in our bedtime routine, and couldn't seem to find one! We could read this book every night and it would not only teach the night time dua's- it would gradually establish an important and peaceful practice my daughter could hold close to her heart for years to come! In sha Allah"

- Hena Rizvi, raising a future kind human being


"Bedtime Sunnahs is a colorful, rhyming, and informative children’s book. Young and old can learn something anew on bedtime sunnah practices insha’Allah. It shows and portrays many Muslim families of diverse backgrounds. Bedtime Sunnahs is definitely inclusive and a must-have for every Muslim household masha’Allah! I give this free review copy a 5-stars!"

- A Ducktrinor Mom, Djarabi Kitabs Publishing


"Rhyme always captures our hearts easily. Even I love the rhyme in this book!
So, if you are looking for a book that's full of advantages to teach your
children about bedtime sunnahs, this book really suites to your needs."

- Diah, aka damarojat, https://mommysnextstep.blogspot.co.id/


"I got to read an advanced copy and it is really well done - from the
cute and diverse pictures to the actual content which is authentic yet
presented in a super kid friendly way. I learned some bedtime sunnahs
myself! The handy appendix also has appropriate citations."

-Saira Lari, Stay at Home Mom, Al Azhar Graduate
