Description

Do you ever feel like your son is spending more time with a screen than with his faith? As boys enter their pre-teen years, the world starts to pull them in many different directions, making it harder for them to stay anchored. You want him to be self-aware and kind, but how do you encourage those habits without feeling like you are nagging?

A Muslim Boy’s Journal to Life’s Big Changes is the practical tool that will help your 9-13 year old son. Think of it as a mentor in book form. Written by Sami Khan, a parent and educator, who understands modern challenges, this journal guides and empowers your son to strengthen his connection with Allah.

Through the “Reflecting with Sami” sections, he will learn to think deeply about his actions and character, while learning how to set Islamic goals. Whether it is tracking his salah, monitoring his Ramadan progress, or completing a dhikr challenge, every page is designed to make Islam feel important and relevant in his life.

This packed journal, featuring face-free illustrations is a companion that respects him entering a new phase in his life, while keeping his heart firmly connected to the Sunnah.

Who We Are

One of the First Islamic Publishers in the United Kingdom

Connecting English-speaking Muslims to the heart of their faith with authentic, accessible books.

At a time when there were limited faith-based resources to learn and teach Islam to the Muslim community in English, Afsar & Jamal-un-Nisa Siddiqui founded one of the first Islamic publishing houses in the UK. Leaving behind professional careers, they paved the way for future generations to enjoy a wide range of Islamic literature. Almost fifty years later, we continue to provide the highest quality books worldwide and support literacy charities.
