Summary: All knowledge is from Allah ﷻ. When we study, the knowledge of Allah ﷻ and His creations should go together. It shouldn’t be separated like it is nowadays. When children learn science, they should be encouraged to marvel at the Creator. Math is a set of patterns. Who is it that created these patterns? Allah ﷻ!

The purpose of this book is to link our Creator to the subjects taught in school. It encourages teachers and parents to find ways to teach about Allah ﷻ and Islam into school subjects, turning it into comprehensive lessons. Each chapter has examples of lessons that you can use with your children.
