About the Books: The Eemaan Reading Series is a pioneering effort aimed at establishing an educationally sound and visually attractive collection of graded English readers with Islamic moral content for the primary school level (ages 4-12).

Some schools also use the books to teach akhlaaq (ethics and character) through stories about Muslim children having to make moral choices from which they learn and grow. This series was first started in 1996 under the inspiration and supervision of Dr. Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips. The series is currently being used by many English Medium Islamic schools world-wide. A "must-have" for your classroom and home library!

The Eemaan Reading Series presents wonderful stories in English at graded reading levels with Islamic vocabulary and settings. Each book has a collection of two stories appropriate for first graders. One of the advantages of the Eemaan Series is that it focuses on the family and always shows parents as wise and loving. Helps to build the Islamic concept of respect for parents and teachers.
