A Message From the Editor

Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullah Dearest readers, fans and Explorers of Little Explorers,

Little Explorers is not any old magazine but a pioneering effort to teach children, who are our future, the beauty if Islam, through a fun and exciting way as well adhering to the Qur’an and Sunnah. Little Explorers has a fascinating team which all love Little Explorers as their own and do their upmost to make sure that what they intend to deliver to our beautiful little gems from all walks of life is just perfect!

I, as the Editor, want to keep Little Explorers to be unique and one of my many aims is to bring children out of their comfort zones and try and get them to challenge their own little minds as well as have fun and learn the wonderful religion if Islam. An example that I can share with you is the fact that activities that belong to certain articles do not always follow the article, rather they come many pages after. Why is this? Well the aim is to allow children to challenge their minds and to see if two or three articles down they still remember what they have learnt and if something has missed their busy little minds, then they can read again and learn again. I feel this is a great way of refreshing children’s knowledge as well as challenging it.

Little Explorers Magazine is for all children, whatever country they are from, whichever Imam they follow and whichever Masjid their parents attend. Thus the magazine, at present, flows in such a way so that we do not step on anyone’s toes.  An example of this is the articles on Wudu and Salah. These are more about the importance of the action itself rather than describing the actions of the act. The love for the act and the beauty of the act is the message we want to send to the children and then it is for the parents or the madrassah teachers to follow up in the way they want their children to learn. I personally also feel that today Madrassahs forget to teach the children the essence and the wisdom behind acts such as Wudu and Salah etc and concentrate more on the actions that need to be carried out. These are just as important, but so is the love and the want to carry out the action.

The team I work with at Little Explorers is mashallah very dedicated and a hard working team with a goal to make Little Explorers the best product out there for our children, our future. The initial set up of Little Explorers is the magazine, however we do not just stop there we go on and on Inshallah so look out for some fabulous products to come your way!

I would, personally like to thank all those who make Little Explorers happen, may Allah reward them all (they know who they are) and make this a great sadaqah Jariyah for them as well as a great enjoyment and to all those parents who support us, help us and send us great ideas and superb comments of encouragement and finally to all our Little Explorers for who Little Explorers has been created for.

Wasalam
