About this book
In the town of Barakahville, people have become too busy to greet each other with salaam, pray together or share meals, and slowly the town is losing its barakah. When a tree-planting contest is announced, young Kareem sees a chance to help his grandparents and his community.
While others chase quick results, Kareem plants his tree with patience, sincerity and trust in Allah. What grows from it surprises everyone.
The first children's book from Mohammed Faris, author of The Productive Muslim and The Barakah Effect. Beautifully illustrated, it gently teaches children that good intentions matter more than praise, and that the best fruits come in Allah's timing. A lovely read-aloud for families, classrooms and Islamic school libraries. Ages 6 and up.
