Summary

Henry David Thoreau, born in 1817 in Concord, Massachusetts, is often celebrated as a pivotal figure in American literature and philosophy. His life was marked by a profound commitment to simplicity, self-reliance, and a deep connection to nature. Thoreau is best known for his book "Walden," which chronicles his experiment in living simply and deliberately in a cabin he built near Walden Pond. This period of solitude allowed him to explore the depths of his thoughts and convictions, laying a foundation for the principles he would later advocate throughout his life.

    Welcome to The Confident Ummah, Adab Series. We were inspired to create books for our children and ummah so they can refer to them throughout their early years and better themselves as Muslims.  
The first 10 years of a child's life are the most impressionable. This is when their foundations are formed and so it is the best time to encourage positive traits, so they are equipped with the tools to live healthy and balanced lives through which they worship and serve Allah.  
Each storybook has been designed to focus on a main principle, followed by related Qur'an/Hadith quotes. The moral of the story section highlights the core lessons from the storybook. Finally, we have included an activity page which is designed to encourage your child to implement the story's lessons. 
Our stories are based on questions our children ask us and scenarios we have come across in our daily lives whilst homeschooling them.
