Publisher's Note

All praise belongs to Allah; we praise Him and
seek His help and forgiveness. We seek refuge in
Allah from the evil of our own selves and from our
sinful deeds. Whomever Allah guides, there is none
to misguide him, and whomever He leads astray,
none can guide him. We bear witness that there is no
god worthy of worship except Allah, alone, and we
bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and
Messenger. We pray to Allah the Almighty to bestow
His peace and blessings upon Prophet Muhammad,
upon his good and pure family, as well as upon all the
noble companions and those who follow them in
righteousness until the Day of Judgement.

Given the dire need for Islamic studies material
in schools incorporating the subject in English,
Darussalam has endeavoured to publish an Islamic
Studies series covering all the grades, from grade one
through grade twelve.

The series will cover all areas of Islamic
studies: tofseer, hadeeth, tawheed, fiqh, seerah, and
general etiquette relating to different areas and
situations. Given the importance of authentic Islamic
knowledge, every effort has been made to ensure
that the material presented in the series is authentic.
Also, given the importance of Arabic Islamic terms,
most of the terms are presented in their original
Arabic script, along with the transliteration and the
translation of their meanings. This also applies to
supplications which have to be memorised in their
Arabic from. The aim here is to help the reader read
the original text and understand its meaning. Each
lesson is followed by exercises covering questions
about the lesson.

One striking feature in the series is the
colourful artwork used in it that certainly appeals to
children. This is certainly bound to attract the young
readers' attention, stimulate them, amuse them as
well as educate them.

The series aims to acquaint the student with
the teachings of Islam in every aspect: beliefs,
practices and moral conduct. The series, with its
unique features, certainly fills a gap in this area which
has long been partially neglected.

The present breathtaking work was initiated by
an expert in the field of education, Maulvi Abdul Aziz,
MA. English literature, who held different posts in the
field including that of Senior Administrative Officer in
the Department of Private Education, Ministry of
Education, Dubai, UAE, from 1 982 to 2002.

The current project also owes its existence in
its present form to a number of people who made
informative suggestions, particularly Al-Arabee Ben
Razzouq, College of Languages and Translation,
Imam Muhammad ibn Saud University, Riyadh, who
undertook the painstaking task of checking the
authenticity of the material presented in the series,
proofreading the text as well as adding references to
certain quotations from the Qur'an and the hadeeth.
Special thanks also go to Sheikh Abdul-Qawiy
Luqman, Al-Madeenah University graduate, for his
interesting suggestions and to Mr. Zulfiqar
Mahmood who conscientiously applied his expertise
in the field of graphic design to produce the series in
a superb shape.

We pray to Almighty Allah to reward our
endeavours and to make the present series
abundantly beneficial to students in all stages of
education as well as to any one who reads them.

Iman - The Faith of a Muslim

^ ♦♦

Iman is an Arabic word. It means faith.

Faith means complete trust in someone. It means if
you have faith in someone, you believe in him with
all your heart, and you do not have any doubt
about it.

Remember doubt and faith are two opposite
things. If you have doubt in something, you believe
that it might not be true. Iman is a state in which the
heart accepts the truth and lives by it.

Chapter

The Messengers of Allah

4ij|

In normal conditions, Allah does not speak to man
directly. He does not tell each one of us separately
to do this and not to do that.

Allah's way to tell us to do things or not to do them is
through His Prophets and Messengers. He chooses
a person to receive His message. The person who
receives this message becomes the Messenger of
Allah.

Allah sends His
message to the
Messenger through
Angel Jibreel ( ).

The Messenger then
gives this message to people. Allah sent Prophets
and Messengers to different people at different
times. They spoke to people in Allah's name and
guided them. The Prophets and Messengers of Allah
were men. They were noble people.

The Angels

4So Ml!

The Arabic word for angel is malak.
malaa'ikah is its plural. Allah created the angels.
He created them just as He created man and
everything else. They are made of light.
We cannot see them, but we
know that they are there!

This is because Allah's
Messenger ( ^ ) told us so.

The angels are Allah's servants. They obey Him all
the time. They carry out His commands. They have
no power to disobey Allah.

Allah wanted man to obey
Him, so He sent Angel
Jibreel (8&B) to Prophet
Muhammad (^).

Angel Jibreel told the
Prophet ( s|g ) what Allah
wanted man to do.

Chapter

The Angels

45^

Jibreel (^\) brought the Qur’an to the Prophet (gg )
at the command of Allah. This was
Jibreel’s duty.

Allah sent Angel Jibreel ( ) to
many Prophets before Prophet
Muhammad ( ^ ).

There are many angels. Different
angels do different duties. Angel
Jibreel (^J|) is one of them. Every one
of us has two angels who remain with
^ ^ him all the time.

They never leave him, and they
write down everything he does
or says! They write down his
good actions and bad actions.
Mikaa’eel, Israafeel, Ridhwan
and Jibreel are also some of the
angels. A Muslim believes in all
of Allah’s angels.

3. What are angels made of?

B. Join the dots and then colour the picture.

A Muslim believes in the angels even if he cannot see them.

Allah sent Prophets to guide man.

Allah sent guidance to us through His Prophets. This
guidance of Allah is called wahi.

The English word for wahi is revelation.

Revelation means to make
something known.

Wahi (revelation) is the
gift of Allah to man.

Who brought this wahi to the Prophets?

It was Angel Jibreel ( ) who brought wahi to
Allah's Prophets.

These were Allah’s messages.

These messages were collected in the form of
books. The Qur’an speaks of four such books.

These four books are:

1 . The Suhuf which were given to Prophet
Ibraaheem

2. The Zaboor which was

What happened to these books?

Allah once sent these books. We now have the
Qur’an only. Its words are original as they came to

our Prophet ( ).

Allah has protected
the Qur’an in its
original form.

It is part of our faith
to believe in the
Qur’an.

The Qur’an is the last

If all Muslims do these five things well, Islam will be
firm. A Muslim is one who obeys Allah in everything.
He accepts and believes that Allah exists, and that
He is One. He also accepts and believes that
Muhammad ( 3jj| ) is the Messenger and servant of

A mosque is a place in which Muslims pray five
times a day.

The Arabic word for mosque is masjid.

When it is time for salah, the mu’adh-dhin calls out
the adhan from the masjid. The adhan is a call for
prayer. Some mosques are small. Some mosques
are very big. If you go to a big mosque, you will find
several watertaps in one place. These watertaps
are for Muslims to make wudhu before starting to

You should take off your shoes or sandals and leave
them at the entrance to the mosque. Mosques
today have racks in them for shoes. In the prayer

hall, there is a niche, called the

mihraab.

The mihraab shows the direction
of the qiblah.

The qiblah is the direction towards
which we pray. The mihraab
shows us where the qiblah is so we
may face it when praying.

The birth of the Prophet (|§ )

Prophet Muhammad ( ^ ) was born in Makkah on
Monday, Rabee’ al-Awwal, in the Year of the
Elephant. It was the year 570 according to the
Christian calendar. Prophet Muhammad ( ) was
born 50 days after the event of the Year of the
Elephant.

What is the Year of the Elephant? The Arabs
before Islam of course had no calendar. They
counted the days and months but they did not
number their years. Instead, they would only give
each year a name after some special event which
happened during that year.

The year in which Allah’s Messenger ( 3jj| ) was born
something very remarkable happened.

An Ethiopian ruler named Abraha was ruling Yemen
at that time. He was angry because many people
went to Makkah every year to visit the Ka’bah.
Along with them, they took all their business and
trade there.

Abraha became jealous. He wanted people to
come to his city instead. So he decided to build a
big churct in San’aa. He hoped that people would
visit his church and stop visiting the Ka’bah.

Abraha built a splendid rch in San’aa, but the
people did not come to his church. They continued
to visit the

Abraha needed no further excuse. He set out for
Makkah with a large army to tear down the
Ka’bah. At the front of the army he placed an

elephant. No one in Vlakkah had ever seen an
elephant before.

Abraha was not far from Makkah when the elephant
stopped and It wouldn’t move any further. Abraha’s
large army also stopped.

At this point a miracle happened. The Qur'an tells us
its story, and you will learn about it in detail later,

Inshaa Allah.

Since then this year was called the Year of the
Elephant. It was the year Allah’s Messenger ) was
born.

Prophet Muhammad M (2)

Prophet’s mother’s name was Aminah bint Wahb.
She belonged to a noble family of a tribe called
Quraysh.

The Prophet’s father’s name was Abdullah and his
grandfather’s name was Abdul-Muttalib. They also
belonged to the Quraysh tribe. A few months
before the birth of Prophet Muhammad (Ji), his
father Abdullah had gone to Syria with a trade
caravan. On his return he fell sick. He stayed in
Yathrib (Madinah) for a while hoping to get better
before he went back to Makkah. But sadly he could
not reach Makkah. He died in Madinah months
before the birth of his son. Abdullah was only 25
years old when he died.

Prophet Muhammad M (2)

When his mother Aminah gave birth to him, his
grandfather Abdul-Muttalib named him
Muhammad. Abdul-Muttalib hoped that his
grandson would be praised and respected by
everyone in the world.

Most of the Quraysh used to send their newborn
children to the desert. There they would spend their
early childhood with a Bedouin family.

This gave the children good health. It kept them
away from the crowded city. This also helped them
to learn the pure Arabic language. According to
the custom of the Arab nobles, the Prophet ( ^ ) was
given into the care of Lady Haleemah Sa’diyyah.
Haleemah took it upon herself to suckle Muhammad
( ) and raise him.

She would come to Makkah twice a year so that
Muhammad (:|g ) could meet his mother and
grandfather.

suckled him for two years and
he remained with her for four years. He tended
sheep as soon as he was old enough to walk and
learnt the ways of the desert. He brought great
good fortune to his foster parents.

His mother Aminah called him back to Makkah at
the end of four years. When he was six, his mother
took him to Yathrib (Madinah), where his father
died.

But Aminah herself fell ill and died on her way back
to Makkah at Abwa, a place between Madinah
and Makkah.

Prophet Muhammad^ (4)

Allah’s Messenger ( ) now came under the care
of his grandfather Abdul-Muttalib. Abdul-Muttalib

was eighty years old then. He was the head of the
Hashimi clan.

Abdul-Muttalib loved his little
grandson very much. He
kept the boy with him as he
rested in the shadow of the
Ka’bah. Here the two of them
could watch the world go by.

When the boy was eight years old, Abdul-Muttalib
died. Now the Prophet ( ^ ) came under the care
of his uncle Abu Talib. Abdul-Muttalib was wise
enough to give him to the care of Abu Talib
because he and the Prophet’s father Abdullah
were born of the same mother.

Prophet Muhammad (4)

Abu Talib took special care of his nephew. He held
him dearer than his own sons. He made him sleep
on his own bed. When the Prophet ( ) was twelve
years old, Abu Talib planned to go with a trade
caravan to Syria. Abu Talib took him along to Syria.

When the caravan reached Busra (a part of Syria),
a Christian monk named Bahira saw the phet
( ). Bahira was learned and wise. He recognized

Muhammad ( ) as the Last Prophet.

He told Abu Talib that his nephew was set to
become a Prophet. He advised Abu Talib to look
after him with special care.

Dhikr and Du’aa:

Dhikr is an Arabic word. If
you do dhikr of someone
you remember that
person. You mention him
to yourself or to someone.
In Islam it means
remembering Allah.

Du’aa is also an Arabic word. When you make
du’aa to someone you pray to that person to give
you what you need. A Muslim only prays to Allah
and asks Allah for whatever he needs.

Du’aa is a way in which Muslims worship Allah.
Muslims only make du’aa to Allah.

We should make every kind of du’aa to Allah as He
says: “Invoke Me and I will answer your call.” We
should ask Allah alone for help. You will learn about
dhikr and du’aa in detail later, inshaa Allah.

Dhikr is remembrance of Allah.
Allah is our Creator. We have
nothing of our own. Allah has
given us all we have - our life

and all we possess. Every gift is from Allah.

We should be thankful to Him for these gifts. We
should love Him above all things. We worship Him
alone. We worship Allah alone, fear Him alone, put
our trust only in Him and hope only for His mercy.

We worship Him by praying to Him.

But how? Allah’s Messenger ( ) said that we can

do this by saying a number of statements, like the
following ones:

<djiV!<aiv

Subhoan-Allaah, Al-Hamdu lilloah, Laa ilaaha
illallaah, Allaahu Akbar

If we say this from our hearts, we can get closer to
Allah. No name is greater than Allah’s name.

to Allah in our own language. We can pray to Allah
in our own words, but it is always better to pray as our
Prophet ( H ) has taught us. Allah’s Messenger ( ^ )
has taught us supplications or du’aa for every
occasion.

These are some of them:

If you leave your house say:

jffcy Using the Right Hand

It is good manners to use the right hand for taking
or accepting things, for eating and drinking, and
for shaking hands.

One should start from the right hand side of the
body when stepping into shoes or sandals, and
when putting on clothes. Similarly, one should put
the right foot forward first when entering a mosque,
and coming out of the toilet.

As for the left hand, it should be used for dealing
with things that are unclean.

The left hand should be used when blowing water
out of the nostrils or for cleaning oneself in the toilet.
It should be used for washing away impurities of all
kinds.

One should not walk about wearing only one
sandal or shoe.

Istinjaa is an Arabic word. It means purification. If
you purify something, you make it clean by

Keep yourself screened from view by closing the
door of the toilet.

Do not talk while relieving yourself. You should not
return the greeting (as-Salaamu Alaikum) of
someone who greets you. Do not respond to
anyone who talks to you. Do not urinate while
standing, without a good reason.

If you sneeze, you should praise Allah in your heart.

Al-Hamdu lillaah.

All praises and thanks are due to Allah.
Do not say it loudly.

If you have to answer the call of nature outdoors,
you should use an out-of-the-way spot where the

must not urinate in holes, wells, pits or in the shade
of trees.

Chapter >

25 /Etiquette of Eating and Drinking

If there are different kinds of food, it is all right if you
move your hand around. The same is true of fruits
and sweetmeats. Use three fingers to handle food.
You should not blow on food or drink, nor breathe
inside the container. Hold the cup or glass away
from your mouth, then bring it close again after you
have caught your breath. Do not recline while
eating or drinking.

It is permissible to eat
and drink while
standing, but sitting
down to eat and drink is
much better.

When you eat, bring the
food to your mouth. Do
not bend to meet it

halfway between your plate and your seat. The
hand, which is not in use, may remain on your lap or
on the table.

Allah’s Messenger ) said, “Let no one among you
eat with his left or drink with his left, for Satan eats with

his left and drinks with his left.”

Don’t call attention to your
eating, making unnecessary
noise either with your mouth
or with your plate.

Talking with your mouth full is a sign of very bad table
manners. Once you have placed a morsel of food
into your mouth, do not take it out again. If a bite of
food is too hot, take a sip of water or any other drink
being served with the meal to cool it down. When
you eat something and then unhappily discover that
you do not like it at all, then swallow it; don’t spit it
out. But if you happen to take a bite of food that is
spoiled, you may spit it out without attracting
attention. While having a meal, do not stretch
except when there is a need for it.

Kindness to Parents

After being obedient to Allah and the Messenger of
Allah (3jg), a Muslim must be obedient to his parents.
He should be polite and helpful to them. He should
avoid doing things that will irritate them and try to
be kind to them.

A Muslim should obey his parents and do things
they tell him to do!

If your parents tell you to brush your teeth, to do
your homework, to wash yourself, or to bring
something from the kitchen, you should quickly do
as you are told.

Once a man asked the Prophet ( ), ‘Which action
is most beloved to Allah?’ The Prophet ( ^ ) replied,
‘The salah at its correct time.’

The man then asked him about the next best
action, and the Prophet ( ^ ) said, ‘Kindness to
parents.’

Do you know what is
pollution? Simply, pollution
means ‘something in the

Allah created the Earth. It is our duty to look after it
and protect it.

Litter in your bedroom! Litter around your house!
Litter in your school! Litter in your classroom! Dirt in
the toilets! Dirt in the parks! Litter in the garden! Litter
on the beaches! There are many ways in which
each one of us can look after Allah’s Earth. If we

• Keep your things in their proper
places. Do not throw them around!

• Keep your house clean.

• Keep the place around your house clean.

• Keep your school clean.

• Keep the place around your school clean.

• Use water carefully. It is a gift from Allah. Turn off
water taps properly. Do not leave them
dripping. Turn them off even if it wasn’t you who
left them dripping. Allah will reward you for your
action.

• Keep the toilet floors clean. Nobody likes to use

Pick up any litter you see around you even if it was
not you who threw it there. Allah sees what you do
and will reward you for keeping His Earth clean.

A Muslim should always keep himself clean and
tidy. A dirty body, dirty clothes, dirty hair, dirty teeth
and dirty feet are all unpleasant sights, and may
even give a bad smell. They offend and displease
other people. Do you like to sit close to someone
dirty? Brush your teeth after meals, before you go to
bed and after you get up.

Clean clothes, clean white teeth are pleasant
sights! Keep yourself clean all the time, and others
will like being close to you. Allah will love you if you
are clean and keep your surroundings clean.
