Saleem The Cat Learns to Say Alhamdulillah: An Inspirational Rhyming Islamic Story Book for Kids Ages 4-8

This book by Sameera Sajjad was a wonderful read for my kids. The language is simple, warm, and engaging, which made it easy for them to follow along and stay interested. I especially appreciated how the message was meaningful without feeling forced—it opened up great conversations with my children afterward. It has quickly become one of our favorite read-together books, and I would absolutely recommend it to other parents looking for positive, values-based stories to share with their kids.

I love the story and it’s very educational for my little one! The drawings are too cute!

My son loved it and said give it 5 stars!! Great way to encourage kids to be grateful!!

The story is perfect for little Muslims. It’s creative and imparts a good lesson: try not to complain and say Alhamdullilah. There are illustrations on every page and the larger lettering is helpful for young readers. This has been a great addition to our home library.

My daughter loves this book! Jazzakum Allahu khair

What a darling story! We are a Muslim cat-loving family and we had a great time reading this story with our six month old.

Super cute book, great moral to the story, and the graphics are very nice. Would recommend!

Such a sweet book! My kids and I really enjoy reading this book, it’s great for early readers and the illustrations are so cute! We loved everything about the book and especially enjoyed the intro page. This book is a sweet reminder to be thankful of all our blessings. JazakAllah Sameera Sajjad for creating this book!

Toddler loves this book! Can’t recommend it enough

This book is such a gem. I picked it up hoping to add a little more Islamic learning into our nightly reading routine, and Saleem the Cat totally delivered. The rhymes are fun and easy to follow, and the message about gratitude—saying “Alhamdulillah” for all the little blessings—is beautifully woven into the story. My kids loves the illustrations (Saleem is adorable), and has started saying “Alhamdulillah” more often, which honestly warms my heart. It’s not preachy, just gentle and relatable. Perfect for young kids who are just starting to understand Islamic values.

2 year old loved it Would be better if it was hard book

It's good reminder for kids. They easily forget these small Words with big impact in everyday life. The book has good images, lovely, Saleem is cute and text eeads easily.

Very lovely child friendly story. My granddaughter loved it.
