Some of the best times to ask Dua'

This review comes from Ayah. The book is called 'Some of the best times to ask dua' and it comes from the Learn About series by Umm Ilhaam.

The book is about duas, it teaches you the duas because you are going to need to make them in life. I like the part in the book that is about the crowing of a rooster, when you here its crow it has seen an angel so it is a good time to make dua. This reminded me of a time I saw a rooster crowing with my dad in Gambia and we both made dua.

I would read this book again because I really liked it and it really benefits me.

If you would like to read this book I would say you should get it!

Thank you for reading my review.

Eating and Drinking

This review comes from Aleigha. The book is called 'Eating and Drinking' and it comes from the Learn About series by Umm Ilhaam. 

The book is about eating and drinking, it tells you about what Allah gave to you and how you should be grateful for what Allah and then your parents give you. It teaches you that you should eat with your right hand and drink with 3 sips breathing in the middle (in between sips) and that you should not blow inside your food. 

I found it interesting to know that if you see food on the floor you should clean it and then eat it so you don't leave it for the shaytaan.

I enjoyed reading this book because you can learn from it when you make mistakes and its good to remind you about things you need to do when eating. I would YES read this book again I would like to read it every day and I think others would find it interesting reading for themselves. 

Thank you for reading my review.

Our Parents

This review comes from Sakeenah. This book is called 'Our parents; what they do for us' and it comes from the Learn About series by Umm Ilhaam

The book was about what our parents do for us, it said sometimes they spoil us and they look after us. You should always do what your parents tell you to do and Allah says you should listen to and be kind to your parents. I learned that I should make dua for my parent every day and ask Allah to have mercy on them because they brought me up when I was young. I liked the story MashaAllah I would like to read it again.

Eight Enormous Elephants

This review comes from Laila. This book is called Eight Enormous Elephants and is written by Penny Dolan and Leo Broadley.

This book is about eight elephants who came through the door of a house and they squashed the sofa and they slid down the stairs. The boy in the story told them to go but they said ''No Way!", but then a mouse squeaked ''Hey!" and then he told them to clean the house and then when the house was as clean as they found it the eight elephants danced out the door. They danced away and they left no track but those enormous elephants might come back and the boy said "What do you think mum? What do you say? Can I keep the mouse that I found today?"...

My favourite part of this book is when the elephants would not leave and the mouse came and said "Hey!" because the elephants were scared of them. I thought that part was funny. I would read this book again in the future inshaaAllaah but maybe not so soon.
