What is I'm a Muslim about?
I'm a Muslim is an Islamic audiobook of songs for children aged 4 to 9: thirteen short songs that teach the basics of Islam to the tunes of favourite nursery rhymes, with an Arabic flavour and beat.
A child called Anas opens the album in Arabic, with Bismillah and a salaam, and invites listeners to sing along and learn beautiful things about their religion. The songs then move through the first things a young Muslim learns. There are songs about saying Bismillah and Alhamdulillah, about Allah the Creator of the sun, the sea and the trees, and about a little star that Allah made as a gift in the dark. Others are about the Qur'an, the Shahada, the steps of wudu, the five pillars and Hajj. Two are about the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ: who he is, and how much we love him. Near the end, I Love Allah sings of loving Mama and Baba, the Qur'an and the Sunnah, and loving the Prophet ﷺ even more than Mama and Baba. The last song is Allah is One.
Some songs are in English, some in Arabic, and several mix the two, so children hear the Arabic words of faith alongside English. The repeated lines are easy to learn and sing along to, which makes the album a gentle way to strengthen a young child's Muslim identity at home or in the car.
The songs are sung with musical instruments, so this is not a music-free title.
