In the name of Allaah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy
All praise is due to Allaah, Lord of all that exists, and may the peace and blessings of Allaah be upon the Messenger Muhammad, his family, his Companions and his followers till the Day of Judgement.
From the greatest of responsibilities and trusts placed upon us is the obligation of cultivating our children. Allaah, the Most High, said:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا قُوا أَنفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًا وَقُودُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةُ عَلَيْهَا مَلَائِكَةٌ غِلَاظٌ شِدَادٌ لَّا يَعْصُونَ اللَّهَ مَا أَمَرَهُمْ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ
O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones, over which are [appointed] angels, harsh and severe; they do not disobey Allah in what He commands them but do what they are commanded.[at-Tahreem:6]
For Muslim parents, teachers, or homeschoolers, it is essential to incorporate Islamic values and teachings into their children's education. Using authentic Islamic resources can significantly improve their learning and help establish a solid foundation for their beliefs.
Introduction
In today's digital era, where information is plentiful yet sometimes lacks authenticity, it can be challenging to find reliable Islamic resources for Muslim children. As a dedicated parent and teacher aiming to raise children rooted in Islamic principles, I recognize the significance of accessing materials that are both informative and accurate, aligning with the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah along with the understanding of the Salaf, while also being engaging. My presence here is driven by the aspiration to support Muslim parents, homeschoolers, educators, and community leaders in navigating this journey and offering a dependable source of authentic Islamic knowledge for our young learners.
Empowering Educators and Parents
As a parent and educator, I have created a collection of Islamic worksheets and workbooks that have been proven to work with hundreds of Muslim children, not just in my home and classroom but also in many homes and classrooms around the world. Alhamdulillah, from coloring sheets for young children to interactive lessons based on Tawheed and Shirk - lessons every Muslim child should be taught.
My aim is to empower you and continue creating more and more Islamic resources to help Muslim parents, homeschoolers, educators, and community leaders around the world, In shaa Allah.
I cannot think of anything more important than teaching our Muslim children their identity and who they really are, especially in the world we are living in today.
May Allah protect them.

And maybe we can all implement some of the teachings in this hadith:
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Surely! Everyone of you is a guardian and is responsible for his charges: The Imam (ruler) of the people is a guardian and is responsible for his subjects; a man is the guardian of his family (household) and is responsible for his subjects; a woman is the guardian of her husband's home and of his children and is responsible for them; and the slave of a man is a guardian of his master's property and is responsible for it. Surely, everyone of you is a guardian and responsible for his charges."
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " أَلاَ كُلُّكُمْ رَاعٍ، وَكُلُّكُمْ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ، فَالإِمَامُ الَّذِي عَلَى النَّاسِ رَاعٍ وَهْوَ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ، وَالرَّجُلُ رَاعٍ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَهْوَ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ، وَالْمَرْأَةُ رَاعِيَةٌ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِ زَوْجِهَا وَوَلَدِهِ وَهِيَ مَسْئُولَةٌ عَنْهُمْ، وَعَبْدُ الرَّجُلِ رَاعٍ عَلَى مَالِ سَيِّدِهِ وَهْوَ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْهُ، أَلاَ فَكُلُّكُمْ رَاعٍ وَكُلُّكُمْ مَسْئُولٌ عَنْ رَعِيَّتِهِ ".
