A genuinely wholesome read and an absolutely excellent way to introduce the Sahaba karaam to children. There are so many well researched details about the blessed companions in this book. Its not just a good read for kids, but also a great resource for teachers who want to talk about the blessed companions to their students in Islamic learning classes.

The moment my son starting reading this beautiful book he was fully engaged and as an avid reader he knows what ia good book is.
Beautifully written and very informative in a simple but through manner which engages the reader. This is what we really need in the ummah for our younger readers. True, inspiring, and enjoyable.

Lovely book about Sahabas and sahabiyyats for children. The stories are beautifully written and my children enjoyed listening and reading the book. It keeps their attention, builds their curiosity, and teaches them in an engaging way
that is age appropriate. A truly lovely resource for families who want to introduce their children to the lives of the Sahabas.

A beautiful read ما شاء الله
Shining Hearts has been such a lovely addition to our home Alhamdulillah. Our kids really enjoyed reading the stories together – they’re simple, engaging, and full of meaning mashaallah! I love how the book brings the Sahabah’s (RA) to life in a way that children can relate to and look up to.
It’s not easy to find books that both nurture a child’s love for Islam and spark their imagination, but this one does exactly that MashaAllah! The stories are filled with lessons about courage, kindness, and love for Allah SWT and Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
My 7 yr old said, “I really liked Shining Hearts! The stories were fun to hear, and I learned about the Sahabah (رضي الله عنهم). My favourite story was the one about Musab ibn Zubair (RA). I want to be brave like him!.”
I’m so grateful to Marium for putting her heart and soul into this work. May Allah reward her abundantly and allow Shining Hearts to reach and inspire many more families!
آَمِيّـٍـِـنْ آَمِيّـٍـِـنْ آَمِيّـٍـِـنْ يارب

I didn’t really expect much when I received this book. Stories of the sahabas are few and far between and those that exist aren’t necessarily impressive. With this book, author Marium Uqaili, has found her voice and niche in the writing world. What this book offers is unique and wonderful. Focuses on highlighting the main facts from the lives of the mentioned sahabas lives and what they were known for.
The text is light and interactive. It doesn’t get lengthy and monotonous like many Islamic biographies do
