Assalaam ‘Alaykum!

Zaheer Khatri, and her dad has a passion for helping raise great Muslim children. They do this through the resources produced by Learning Roots and they love to tell you a little bit about how it all got started.

It was a cold Monday morning in December 2004, as Zaheer Khatri sat in his teacher’s chair in a London classroom, with a sealed envelope clenched in her hand.She was about to quit her job.

Her wife and herself were expecting their first child; a girl. She longed for her to grow up seeing, experiencing and loving Islam in all its natural beauty. But if she was to grow up using the poor books and resources available at the time, she didn’t think that would happen.

So with his wife’s due date looming, He decided that he would take up the challenge of revolutionising Islamic resources for children.

He marched up to the headmistress’ office and landed the envelope on her desk.

It was a big decision. But something inside of me felt right.

The old lady tilted her head up. “If I was your mother…” she said, looking at me squarely in the eyes, “…I’d say you’re making a very silly decision!”

“Thank Allah, you’re not my mother!” He thought to myself.

And Alhamdulillah, several years later, he looks back at that incident and he can’t thank Allah enough for His decree in that moment: His daughter was born, and so was Learning Roots.

Since then, Learning Roots has grown to help hundreds of thousands of parents in over 33 countries to raise great Muslim children. The 50+ resources we’ve produced to date have one uncompromising ingredient poured all over them: they each present the religion of Islam in the best possible light so our children grow to naturally love, learn and live this beautiful way of life.
