My Book of Islamic Rhymes — Page v
Foreword My Book of Islamic Rhymes’ is another addition to the series of books published by the Children’s Book Committee. This book aims to give our young readers an introduction to Islam and its values in a series of short rhymes. We hope that both parents and children will welcome this publication, and that this book will inspire our young readers to behave in accordance with the won- derful teachings of Islam. The Children’s Book Committee was set up under the super- vision and guidance of Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih IV rta and con- tinued to receive support and guidance from Hazrat Khalifatul- Masih V aba. The Late Rashid Ahmad Chaudhry was the first Chairman of this Committee; he held this post from the incep- tion of the Committee in 1984 until his death in December 2005. The poetry in this book is his work and was edited by the members of the Children’s Book Committee. In the present edition, activities for children have been added at the end of each Rhyme, prepared by Haallah Ahmad (Shams); whereas corrections and checking of script was done by Naseer- ud-Din Shams. Layout and formatting was done by Shaikh Naseer Ahmad, and Ata-ul-Aziz. May Allah bless all of those involved in In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Ever Merciful
