Program Description

Finally a program for the littlest Muslims! Ad-Duha in conjunction with Mini Mu'min Publications is now offering the unique Ready, Set, Learn! Program to both entertain and educate children from two to three years of age. The program now includes 18 full color books (we have recently added a new title) plus our exclusive Parent Guide, filled with fun activity and game suggestions for you and your child!

This program will introduce your child to both English and Arabic, along with some of the most important daily ad'iyaa (supplications) that a Muslim child should know.

The program consists of the Du'a Series (10 storybooks which teach daily supplications), the Building Blocks Series (8 books which teach colors, numbers, shapes, and the alphabet in both English and Arabic), and a Program Guide (which helps parents design a learning program for their child's individual needs).

All books feature full-color illustrations on every page, no images of humans or animals, detailed references for all ahadith and Qur'aanic quotations used in the text, and much more!

Your child will learn the following skills on completing this program, insha-Allah:

  • Learn 15 daily ad'iyaa (supplications)

Purchasing the Program, Easy as 1-2-3!

If you would like to purchase this program for your child, please complete the following three step process. These steps will help you decide if the program meets your needs/expectations, insha-Allah. If after completing these steps, you decide you want to purchase the program, simply click on the "add to cart " button at the bottom of the page to place your order.

Step 1: Skills Assessment

Ad-Duha is dedicated to providing students with the Islamic Studies & Arabic level that is best for them. Therefore we have provided the following Skills Assessment (to be completed before ordering materials) to help you decide if this level of the curriculum is right for your child.

In order to get the most from this program, your child should have the following skills:

  • Can speak (form 2-3 word sentences) and can be understood by others.
  • Can express his needs, likes, and dislikes.
  • Can stay on task for 5-10 minutes or longer (for example when playing a game, cleaning up toys or looking at a book).
  • Shows an interest in school (asks to look at books, shows interest in his/her siblings schoolwork).
  • Takes care of his belongings (does not rip books or paper, does not scribble on walls, does not show a disregard for items in the house).

How to evaluate your child's performance:

  • If your child cannot complete all the items on this assessment, we recommend you wait 4-6 months and take the Skills Assessment at that time, before purchasing the program.
  • If your child can complete all items on the assessment, then he is ready for the Mini Mu'min Program.
  • If your child can do more than this assessment covers (for example already knows colors and shapes, can use a pencil/crayons, or has memorized one or more surahs) move on to Level ALP.

Important Notes

The Mini Mu'min program is not a daily curriculum like what is used in the regular Ad-Duha Program. The materials included in the Mini Mu'min Program are intended to be both educational and entertaining for very young children. The goal of this program is to introduce young children to some of the basic skill sets and information that they will study in the Level ALP Program, but in a more flexible format that suits children of this age range.

For example the Mini Mu'min materials present the information to be learned through stories, rhymes, games, activities, bright colors, interesting pictures, but without a writing requirement, worksheets, or grading that are used in Levels ALP and above. Children are simply expected to become familiar with the material and concept of 'school' so that their entrance into the next level of the program will go smoothly, insha-Allah.

Step 2: Book Previews

Please take a moment to look at sample pages from the books included in the program. We provide these previews so that you know exactly what you will be getting before making your purchase.

Key vocabulary is highlighted; these words can then serve as a tool to remind your child of important points. All relevant supplications are included in the text with translation, transliteration and Arabic text. In each book we provide textual proofs, from Qur'an and Sunnah, for any assertions made regarding fiqh.  

Each story is accompanied by original artwork to help tell the story and engage your child's attention.
