The Holy Qur'an repeatedly admonishes the believer that worship without
adequate knowledge is worship woefully deficient; with due knowledge he
is exhorted to take note of the Order that prevails in Nature and the wondrous
features of life around him. Knowledge, in short, is an essential preliminary
to worship.
It is in the light of such essentials, of Islamic philosophy and the
requirements of child psychology that this series of books has been prepared
for children of various age-groups. The aim has been not only to impart
a minimum amount of Islamic knowledge but also to mould the child's character
in the Islamic way, totally abandoning the stereotyped catechism method
and assimilating as many methods and media as possible of modern pedagogy.
The books in the series Gateway to Islam contain lessons in Ahkam
(commandments); `Aqa'id (beliefs), A'mal, (application) and Tarikh (history),
and are a must for children who are taught in English. ISBN NO. 969-432-079-8.
