The Sunnah is the most authentic explanation and elaboration of the Word of Allah. Many worthy collections of Hadith of the Prophet pbuh have been compiled and translated into English. Yet very few, however, have been compiled especially for children ad young people, and this collection is intended to fill this gap.

This collection presents twenty sound Ahadith that will appeal to all ages, but are especially suitable for young people, taking into consideration their needs and interests. In translation and brief commentary that follows each Hadith, an effort has been made to use plain language and explanation for the ordinary mind.

Moreover, useful exercises have also been added. In this way, this collection will be greatly beneficial for young Muslims. This small book has been the collaborative effort of many. It is our hope that this collection of Ahadith will serve as a useful introductions to the timeless wisdom of the last Prophet of Islam both at home and the classroom.

Reading these prayers and stories, children will come to know how ordinary incidents and day to day activities are such important subjects for prayer and why they should be thankful to Allah.

These charming stories and heart-warming prayers, enlivened by stunning and colourful illustrations, will become a wonderful accompaniment for children on their path to understanding the glory and kindness of Allah and will bring them closer to their Creator.
