What is We Are Muslims 1 about?
We Are Muslims 1 is an Islamic audiobook of songs for children aged 4 to 9: classic nursery rhymes rewritten as nasheeds, so that children learn the basics of their faith through tunes they already know.
There are thirteen songs. Many begin with the same line, "We are Muslims when...", and then name one thing a Muslim knows or does: knowing Allah's holy book and following what it says, saying the shahada, making wudu before standing before Allah to pray, and knowing the five pillars of Islam. In "Little Star", the twinkling star becomes a question about who made it. "The Messenger" is sung to the tune of "Do You Know the Muffin Man?", with the answer "Muhammad ﷺ is his name".
Other songs are about loving Allah and loving the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ above all others, standing up for Islam, and Hajj, with the pilgrims' call "Labbayk Allahumma labbayk". The last song, "Allah is Everywhere", includes a recitation of Surah Al-Ikhlas in Arabic and then sings its meaning: Allah is One, He has no parents and no children, and He is always there.
The songs are short and repetitive, which makes them easy for young children to sing along to and remember. They are a gentle way to introduce words like shahada, wudu and Qur'an before children learn them in more depth. It is published by Noorart, and it is about 24 minutes long.
