Roshni

Overview:

Roshni, by Dr. Muhammad Iftikhar Khokhar, a Darussalam publication in the Silsila Haiwanat e Qurani series, is a 32-page Urdu children’s storybook that tells the captivating tale of an innocent animal, likely a goat or deer, to impart a profound Islamic lesson. Animals lack human intellect, emotions, or reasoning, fighting only for survival, and while their innocence is respectable, worshipping them is a human error, not their fault. Through this engaging narrative, the book blends Quranic verses, authentic Hadith, and moral teachings to guide children toward hidayah, emphasizing that only Allah deserves worship. Featuring vibrant 4-color illustrations in a 17x24 cm format, Roshni inspires Pakistani children aged 5-10 to embrace tawhid (oneness of Allah), reject shirk (idolatry), and cultivate imaan, making it a treasured resource for family reading and Islamic classrooms.
