In “Leena the Detective: Five Pillars of Islam,” Leena and her woolly friend Kharouf journey through the five pillars of Islam in a fun and educational way. This article will break down each pillar using their creative approach to help families discuss and understand the pillars together.
1. Shahadah (Declaration of Faith)
The first pillar declares that there is only one God (Allah) and that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is His final messenger. Leena and Kharouf highlight the importance of understanding this declaration. Parents can encourage their children to discuss how they know faith in their own words.
2. Salah (Prayer)
Leena and Kharouf illustrate the significance of daily prayers, which bring structure and a deeper connection to Allah. Families can use this section as a conversation starter for integrating prayer time into daily routines and discussing the different prayer times throughout the day.
3. Zakat (Charity)
Giving to those in need is a core part of Islam. Leena and Kharouf explain this beautifully, showing that even a little contribution can make a big difference. Consider creating a family donation jar or finding local charities where kids can directly see the impact of their giving.
4. Sawm (Fasting)
During Ramadan, Muslims must show gratitude and develop self-control. Through imaginative storytelling, Leena and Kharouf help kids understand the concept of fasting and the joy of breaking the fast together with family.
5. Hajj (Pilgrimage)
For many Muslims, the pilgrimage to Makkah is a lifelong dream. Leena and Kharouf help kids understand this journey’s rituals and spiritual significance. Share stories and videos about the Hajj to illustrate its meaning.
Combining storytelling with Islam’s foundational principles, “Leena the Detective” helps children enjoyably understand and remember these core practices.
