baby and toddler books about God?

peace ay
I'm sorry I can't. My children are older now and we never had anything like that. InshAllah you'll get some advice from someone else. When your children get a little older though there is a series of books that are quite well priced called 'Quran stories for Little Hearts'. They are from Goodword Books. They're quite well priced and base on Quran, even having surahs listed at the end of each book so that you can read further with The Quran.

You're welcome. Well I started getting them when my youngest was about 3 and at that time I would read to them. But now my youngest is 6 and so my children can read to me. Of course the youngest still needs help with some words but they are similar to the kind of readers you get from schools when they're learning. Not a first reader but perhaps for a child who has advanced a little. Actually I'm glad you brought this up because we haven't been using them much lately and I think I'll get them out again. peace

I advise that you keep children below the age of five unaware of God.

Fear is not the best thing for young children.

I agree, but I would go even further and state that children should not be introduced to God until their own curiousity awakens. They must be able to comprehend the idea of searching their own heart and mind, otherwise they will just follow blindly what their parents follow.

Children are introduced to God from their environment, even if their parents don't teach them anything they go to play groups, school etc. they hear about it, events happen in relation to religions etc.
I don't think there is anything wrong with teaching children your concept of God. Most children imitate their parents with regards to many things that's not necessarily bad or "brain washing". It's part of how we learn. As we get older we enquire and make our own decisions.
Sorry Ay I don't know of any, try your local islamic bookshop? have a look through their collection or maybe even Amazon.

Peace Munzir Ali,
We should keep children away from God or man-made religious influences...?
Is it possible for you to make children to be unaware of God? They are so curious about God and His creations that they will ask so many questions which you may find difficult to answer. They need to be guided towards God.
Being God-fearing will help them grow in the right path.

Peace Ay,
Teach your child to ponder on each and every word of Quran.
Teach them God's name by the need of the moment. They will start knowing who God is.
For eg., when we need food / clothes O Provider. When we need protection O Protector. when we need to be forgiven O Forgiver. when we need His guidance O the Wise. when we need His Help O the Helper.
Children need to know basic simple truths
*that all good is from God and suffering/pain is brought about by our own hands - either through our external behavior or the evil thoughts like pride, jealousy, etc. we possess internally.*All good deeds will be rewarded multi-fold and bad deeds will be punished. God is ever watchful and All knowing.
*Never blame others for our suffering and do not take revenge.
Sow good seeds in their hearts and they will blossom beautifully by His Grace.

Salaam,
Munzir Ali is atheist but he was a Quran-alone muslim before 2011.
I like reading old posts that's why I know about some members on here.I read one of his posts which he said that he is a Quranist atheist
Well I don't think telling children about God is scaring them as long as we don't do it the way some extremists do to their children.

Why should any adults teach about God to baby and toddler?
They knew more about God / their creator / the origin of their soul / their soul father more than adults..
They knew more about God / their creator / the origin of their soul / their soul father more than their knowledge of their human father and mother.
Their relationship to God is far more intimate than any adults to God..I find it the other way around, I learn more about God when I contemplate or look upon babies and toddler..
Salam / Peace

In neuroscience it has been confirmed that the cognitive capacity of conceptualization of complex problems starts later on. So if a baby, toddler, child is confronted with religion early on, it will automatically have distorted and simplistic views which will lead to concepts of the same quality.
Further on, and millions of circumstances prove this, this kind of cognitive development will long influence the child later on, in many if not most cases, well into adulthood. One of the reasons why many conceptualizations will not develop any further, is that the cognitive framework which memorizes the first impressions in a persons life, doesn't change. Psychologically speaking, it will be very hard, if not impossible for the child to keep up or cope with the changes of dynamic reality. It will have to break old perceptions off to replace them with others, and most people do not like or want that.
It is better to expose the child to mathematics and philosophy at a very young age, and later on introduce it to the concept of a creator.
Theological argument; the quran states it adresses people who think and reflect, it even refers to logics and argumentation (and logical argumentation) by stating that if it weren't from God, it would be full of contradictions (contradiction is illogical). Children are not yet capable cognitively to do the task.
