How can children learn to talk to Allah?
Allah says in the Qur'an that He is near and answers the one who calls on Him. The Prophets show it: Prophet Yunus (AS) calls out from the darkness inside the whale, Prophet Musa (AS) asks Allah to untie the knot from his tongue, and Prophet Zakariya (AS) keeps asking for a son long after it seems too late. The Names of Allah videos, with Sheikh Azhari and his children, teach Al-Mujeeb, the One who answers, and special times to ask, such as the last part of the night.
Many titles give children words of their own. A little girl talks to Allah from morning to bedtime, a mother teaches her daughter the Prophet's ﷺ dua for sleep, and a parent's rhyming dua asks for a heart full of faith. Short songs teach Rabbi zidni ilma and the Talbiyah that pilgrims say on the way to Hajj, and poems about Allah's names help with a first day at school or a fear of the dark.
Each title's page lists what your child will learn and the Qur'an or hadith behind it where there is one, with questions for afterwards that can lead into a dua of your own together.

Frequently asked questions
What duas can a young child learn first?
Short ones from these titles are a good start: Bismillah before eating, the bedtime dua Bismika Allahumma amutu wa ahya, Rabbi zidni ilma for knowledge, and the dua for setting off on a journey.
Does Allah always answer a child's dua?
The titles teach that Allah hears every dua and gives what is best, sometimes straight away and sometimes in His own time. The story of Prophet Zakariya (AS), who kept asking for a son, shows children to keep making dua and stay patient.
Is dua the same as salah?
No. Salah is the set prayer Muslims pray five times a day; dua is asking Allah for anything, in our own words and any language, at any time. Children can make dua after salah, at bedtime or whenever they need help.
