Learning dua made easy.
What Do You Say? An Islamic Manners and Morals Book is a dual language
story written in English and Arabic that tells the story of a boy who

greet someone and what to say when someone sneezes. Together they solve
problems and become friends.
Age: Toddler to 9 years
Dimensions: 8” x 8”
Length: 24 pages
Format: Full colour paperback with laminated cover and glossy pages.
Why Do You Need this Book?
وَمَا خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَالْإِنْسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ
The Qur’an tells us that Allah [swt] created the jinn and humankind to worship him. (surah adh Dhariyaat, 51:56)
Prophet Muhammad said that “Dua is the very essence of worship." (Tirmidhi)
Teaching our children to make dua is one of the most important things we can do as parents and as educators. But learning dua can seem like a chore, especially for English speaking children trying to memorise Arabic.
“What Do You Say?” will help, because children will respond to the excitement of travelling with a dragon. They will learn the dua without the effort required from learning from a boring book.
Publishing is an expensive field. We need your help to cover the costs of production (printing) and also marketing costs.
Our sales are used to cover expenses and to pay for more books.
Thank you!
Jazakum allahu khairan.
