Original price was: $214.60.Current price is: $150.00.

The COMPLETE CHILDREN’S ONLY GHAZALI BOOKS 1-7 at a 30% DISCOUNT. (Normal Price: $214.60, Discounted Price: $150) A great opportunity to order just the Ghazali Children’s books excluding the Parent/Teacher adult translations.

Ghazali’s teachings distilled for children explain how the outer aspects of Islam can, through their inner spiritually transformative meanings, change every situation into one which strengthens the innate human nobility of character. The Prophet Mohammad said, “I was only sent to perfect good character.”

Fons Vitae has taken on the monumental task of bringing out  Imam al-Ghazali’s magnum opus, “The Revival of the Religious Sciences” based on the 2011 Dar al-Minhaj critical Arabic edition, as an educational package re-crafted for families and schools. Each translation of the 40 books is accompanied by an adaptation for children as well as workbooks with activities and a school curriculum, all supported by an interactive parent-children’s website and worldwide Pilot School Program.

The aim of the Ghazali Children’s Project materials is to support children:

• in their ability to recognize and maintain their innate human dignity.
• in realizing nobility of character through imitation of the Prophetic qualities realized by understanding, loving, and practicing the inner dimensions of all outward acts – to stop simply just “going through the motions”.
• in becoming aware of their True Selves and in identifying with this pure aspect of their being rather than with the lower, false, egoic and separative nature which is centered on itself [al-nafs alammara].
• in becoming self-observant and self-correcting.
• in living life with humility and in service.

A NOTE ON AGE APPROPRIATENESS for the Ghazali Children’s series:

The books are appropriate from ages 5-14 to adulthood depending on various considerations. Parents and teachers often recast teachings to make them relevant to different ages and contexts. Each book set includes: 1) The Adult translation, which is a parent/teacher book. This is for adults. 2) The Children’s book can be read by or to children from 6/7 years old up to adulthood. This can also be read by adults to younger children, say 5 years olds. 3) The Children’s Workbook contains readings and exercises to be done by children from 6/7 years old up to adults.

Parents, teachers and schools like the Hub Club in Solihull (see the Ghazali Project film on this Pilot school) have the teachers of each age group make an age related lesson plan. Parents use the stories with 4-5 year olds by telling them these stories at their level. Ages 6/7 to adulthood is fine for all the children’s materials. Teenagers are often asked to teach the younger ones. [Note: Books 1-2 are written in a younger language. The rest of the books 3-6 are for any age.] The books are used by a mix of parents, teachers and children, and in all of the categories: school, home, homeschools and pilot schools (like Sunday schools).

Reviews

"This work is nothing less than a revolution in developing humane, ethical, and committed Muslim youth. Imam al-Ghazali is the "Proof of Islam", and these teachings, presented in a beautiful life-affirming way, will prove to be a major shift in the way Islam is taught to young people, who are in desperate need of guidance in today's confusing times. As a community, we owe much to Fons Vitae for bringing them to fruition. Let the transformation begin!"
Shaykh Hamza Yusuf
After reading the children storybooks and workbooks, my years of worrying about how to teach my children (without persistently nagging them) to be ethical and socially responsible in their actions and their intentions, has been put to ease, God willing. I must also be truthful and let you in on a secret: Sadly, I believe my soul is in more of a need for The Al-Ghazali Children series books even more so than my own children. It is honestly hard to describe what I do feel since reading the books. If I could, then I would say that my inner conscience is suddenly and constantly talking to me, whether it is reminding me of my responsibilities as a mother or of being more cautious of my thoughts and intentions. Whatever it is, I know I could feel my faith increasing.

"The Imam Ghazali Children's Series is a gift to our children who deserve a pedagogy of Islam that allows them to develop the innate goodness which God has placed within each human being so they can become moral, kind and happy adults."
Professor Ingrid Mattson
SubhanAllah what an inspiring and moving video! May Allah ﷻ bless the tireless efforts of our beloved Gray Henry and the entire Fons Vitae team! The Imam Ghazali children’s series is precisely the type of resource that every Muslim child should have access to to help them learn all of the principle and essential qualities of Prophetic comportment (tarbiya, akhlaq, and adab, i.e., emotional intelligence). Please look into this invaluable project now!
Hosai Mojaddidi
This was one of the best investments I have made for my children! They absolutely have loved and read over and over the books since we purchased them some years back! Thank you so much for this priceless gift!

In today’s modernist world where religion has been stripped of its essential beauty, the need for the Alghazali children’s Project cannot be overstated. Children in th eMiddle East increasingly suffer from the loss of traditional teachings that foster a positive Muslim identity and world-view. The unfortunate state of school curricula pertaining to Islam in the Arab world is one where the shell of religion is taught while its beautiful kernel, the foundation of which is mercy, is discarded. This approach to teaching religion, leaves children in a vulnerable and confused state where they are prone to take extreme positions. Parents across the Middle East are at a loss as to how to teach their children about Islam and are desperately looking for guidance and material that will help them raise productive, ethical and humane adults. the Al-Ghazali Children’s Project provides parents and children with that vital material. Any spiritual curricula must tap into the wisdom of traditional Islam to assist in this challenging era. It is time to return to traditional modes of learning that center around vertical, contemplative reflection that engages the whole personality, namely the intellect and the heart. The Al-Ghazali Children’s project curricula provides the material that will assist parents and children embark on that beautiful journey of the heart towards light and illuminating knowledge.

My kids are learning but I'm learning more...(Apr 11, 2019) I absolutely love the concept behind these books and the way they focus on character. I am currently working my way through the Book of Knowledge with my 6 yr old and 4 yr old and I am amazed by how much they grasp about the spiritual heart, good deeds and diseases of the heart. As a parent aimed at instilling good character in my children (and working on my own character in the process), these books are an invaluable tool. I have taken the language and stories from the book and incorporated them into our every day life and I pray that my children will absorb these lessons for life. These books are a must have for any parent or teacher who is looking at teaching their kids the deeper meanings of our religion, matters of the heart and excellent character.
