Hear what our satisfied clients have to say about this book
As a parent of a child with Autism, I have always struggled to find learning resources for my child to know a little bit about the Quran as there is no madrasa or Arabic school accessible to me where my sons needs will be met. This Arabic alphabet book has been extremely beneficial for my son. The layout is clear and uncluttered, making it easy to follow without being overwhelming. Each letter is introduced in a visually engaging yet calming way, with thoughtful use of color, repetition, and sensory-friendly design. Rizia understands the needs of both neurodivergent children and adults. My son for the first time, seemed excited about learning the Arabic letters. Highly recommended for families, educators, and anyone looking for a simple and well-designed Arabic learning resource for children or even adults who are neurodivergent.
I think the book is beneficial for kids who have autism or any other neurodiverse
conditions. The arabic book helps them to understand – giving them a visual learning
to read easier.

Dear Readers,
As the author of this book, I felt I had to share the reasons why I spent the Summer 2025 to publish this book whilst on Maternity Leave. There are no resources, or Islamic schools, settings or Madrasha’s out there that accommodate for neuro-diverse learners to learn the Arabic, letters, Qaidah and the Qur’an.
Majority of the time families are told that their child needs a 1:1 for their learning. This can then become a financial burden on many families. However, the sad reality is that such institutes and setting’s staff don’t know HOW to teach these children who have very limited focus and attention or ‘LEARNING DIFFERENCES’. It is the adult who is teaching and facilitating the learning that has ‘LEARNING DIFFICULTIES’ because they are unable to adapt the learning activities or learning for them. So I wanted to make a resource globally available for everyone to access and benefit their child in learning the early foundation of learning to read the Qur’an; using an holistic approach and build on what the child may already know and has been exposed to in mainstream and specialist schools or provisions.
This book wasn’t published for profit, but for visibility and wanting neuro-diverse children and adults to know that they have not been forgotten. Someone is out there that cares and knows their struggles. Every effort that is made is a testimony to our Lord that we tried.
I hope you enjoy it just as much my children do.
Rizia
