Introducing a comprehensive textbook for learning and understanding the 30th and final Juz (part) of the Holy Qur’an.

All 37 Surahs are introduced with historical information about the revelation of the surah. This is followed by the individual surah, ayah–by–ayah, written in traditional Othmani script and with age–appropriate meanings in English. The textbook package also includes a MP3 CD of Qur'anic recitation by Qari’ Sheikh Abdullah Basfar. Students can hear the surah repeated numerous times as they learn to recite and memorize each one.

To increase comprehension of the Arabic/Qur'anic language, each surah in the textbook contains two key sections—Qur'anic Word: Root and Meaning and Words to Know—that provide students opportunity for further study and understanding. Each surah lesson comes complete with thought-provoking questions and activities that promote the practical application of the wisdom of the Qur’an.

The textbook additionally includes 18 stories from the popular series Qur’an for Little Muslims. These stories, reflecting the selected surahs' meaning and relevance in daily life, are presented here in script form to allow for student performance and to further enhance comprehension and application of the Holy Qur’an.

Illustrated with beautiful graphics and Islamic motifs, this book is truly a groundbreaking achievement in Qur’anic education and comprehension.

This revised edition is Ideally for 7-8-year old, second or third grade students. The children are in their second or third year in a formal Islamic class. This book builds on the knowledge base of the Level 1 book, with an additional emphasis while introducing the basics of Islam.

All lessons are presented thematically in distinct units. Unit 1 focuses on the Creator and His message. This unit answers questions about Allāh, Islam, faith, and the Qur’ān. Unit 2 covers topics on our Ibadat-focusing on the five-pillars of Islam. Unit 3 covers the stories of some of the Messengers. Unit 4 covers some other topics about Islam that are relevant for students in this age group. An early undertanding of some of the basics of Islam is presented in this unit. Unit 5 describes proper adab and akhlaq learned from the Qur’ān and authentic sunnah of the Messenger (s).

As with the Level 1 book, each lesson begins with a coloring page. The coloring time helps students settle down and be comfortable before the lesson begins. Attention span of children is small; therefore, short paragraphs introduce two or three concepts. This is followed by in-class review section to allow for short break and reinforce learning. Some homework is included in the book, however schools and parents are encouraged to buy a separate workbook that has many more test questions and chapter-based activities.

Juz 'Amma for School Students is a student-friendly presentation of the 30th Juz' of the Holy Qur'an. The book contains large and clear Arabic text and translation in a three-column format.
Each surah starts with a short introduction. The surah is followed by explanation of the verses based on authentic commentary. A "Words to Know" section provides root and derivatives of several key words used in the surah. This is further elaborated into a word-to-word meaning of the entire surah. Each chapter ends with some teachings in the surah that the children can apply in their everyday lives. A short question section reinforces the materials learned.

Islam for Younger People is intended for children ages six to eleven years. It outlines the basic beliefs of Islam and presents a brief sketch of the life of the Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him), the five basic Islamic duties, a selection of stories and four short surahs (chapters) of the Qur'an. The author has attempted to present the topics in easily understood language. The book will go a long way towards laying down the initial foundation on which a child will grow as a Muslim within non-Muslim society.
