Pachtawa

Pachtawa by Dr. Muhammad Iftikhar Khokhar is an Urdu Islamic children’s book published by Darussalam Publishers in the Silsila Haiwanāt e Qur’ānī (Qur’anic Animals Series) that tells a moral-driven story about a cunning bird whose actions lead to deep regret (pachtawa). The narrative uses simple, engaging Urdu and vivid 4-color illustrations to help young readers understand the concept of regret, accountability, and repentance (taubah) from an Islamic perspective. Through the bird’s mistake and subsequent reflection, children learn that feeling shame over wrong actions is a blessing that guides one back to righteousness, while those who lack shame fall short of true humanity. The themes are firmly grounded in Qur’anic guidance on repentance and Prophetic teachings on shame as part of faith, making the story both educational and spiritually instructive.
