Children become like those they admire. The Prophet ﷺ pointed to this truth when he said:
A person will be with those whom he loves. (Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih Muslim)
That is the quiet genius behind Fitrah Beginnings, the imprint of author Umm Inaayah: books that give children righteous people to love and look up to, alongside a growing knowledge of their Lord. This spotlight covers the Fitrah Beginnings titles we carry.
Who Is Fitrah Beginnings?
Fitrah Beginnings produces engaging, values-driven books for Muslim children upon the Qur'an and authentic Sunnah as the Salaf understood them. The writing is warm and aspirational, aimed at shaping not just what a child knows but who they want to become.
Aspiring to the Best of Examples
The "I Want to be like…" series turns the best people in history into role models a child can look up to. I Want to be like… The Ten Promised Paradise ($17.00) introduces the ten Companions given glad tidings of Jannah, while I Want to be like… The Prophet's Wives ($17.00) presents the Mothers of the Believers as examples of faith and character.
Knowing Allah by His Beautiful Names
The Beautiful Names of Allah series helps children know their Lord one name at a time. The Beautiful Names of Allah Volume Two ($17.00) and Volume Three ($15.00) continue this gentle, illustrated journey through Allah's names and their meanings.
Everyday Worship and the Seasons of the Year
Zayd's Journey to Zakat ($20.00) brings a pillar of Islam to life through story, teaching children about giving in a way they can feel. And when Ramadan approaches, Alif to Yaa of Ramadan – Coloring and Activity Book ($11.00) keeps little hands busy with the letters and themes of the blessed month.
Why Fitrah Beginnings Belongs on Your Shelf
What sets Fitrah Beginnings apart is aspiration grounded in sound sources: children learn to love the right people and know their Lord, all from a trustworthy foundation.
