From a father's struggle to explain Barakah comes a story for all ages
11th Shawwal 1446H | Assalamu'alaikum, | A few years ago, my eldest son Umair asked me, "Abba, what does Barakah mean?" | At that time, I was finalizing the manuscript for The Barakah Effect book, yet even after all my research, I was stumped and unable to respond to him clearly. | I didn't want to give him a superficial answer like "Barakah is blessings!" Nor a long-winded intellectual response that would go over his head. | I needed to tell him a story... | A Children's Book is Born | | | And so, my first children's book "The Barakah Tree" was born - the story of young Kareem, who lives in a small town that slowly loses Barakah as people become too rushed to greet each other with salaam, pray together, or share meals. | Through Kareem's journey with planting a tree, children learn how sincerity, patience, and doing things with ihsaan (excellence) might not bring immediate rewards, but eventually bear the sweetest fruits. | This story is not just for kids, it's for us adults too, reminding us to say bismillah consciously, make sincere intentions, work hard, and trust Allah with the results. | Pre-Order Your Copy Today | Alhamdulillah, I'm excited to share that "The Barakah Tree" is now available for pre-order. | You can click here to pre-order your copy today from our store with an expected shipping date in Dhul-Hijjah/Muharram 1446H (June/July 2025), insha'Allah. | I can't wait to share this book with you and your children just like I'm looking forward to sharing it with my kids soon as well insha'Allah. | May this book be a means for us to teach our children life lessons that help them inculcate the spirit of Barakah in their lives. Ameen. | Sincerely, | | P.S. If you're a school or organization interested in ordering this book in bulk, please send us an email and we'll arrange for a bulk order discount for you insha'Allah. |
