World Interfaith Harmony Week (February 1st-7th) is a celebration by the United Nations to create tolerance and respect for all religions and a sense of solidarity in the face of those who promote fear, hate and mistrust.
In the United States, most often formal learning about world religions begins only in middle school. When children are exposed to other religions early on, it allows for greater understanding of common ideas and moral beliefs across faiths.
Islam is the second largest religion in the world with over a billion followers known as Muslims. Along with Judaism and Christianity, Islam is part of the three Abrahamic and monotheistic religions which believe in one God. It was revealed in Mecca over 1400 years ago, through divine revelations to Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him - saying this after the Prophet’s name is a way to honor and revere him).
In this curated list, we focus on books that talk about the tenets and practices of Islam such as the five pillars of Islam which are similar to the ten commandments in Judaism and Christianity. A wonderful way for young children to know about other faiths is to learn about different festivals and celebrations. Our books on Eid and Ramadan celebrate the traditions, and foster spiritual growth and community spirit.
