Nanu’s Prayer Rug (Hardcover)

A tender story of a grandfather, his granddaughter, and the true meaning of prayer. A must-read Islamic picture book for Muslim kids ages 4+ by Sunna Syed.

Nanu and his granddaughter share a special day together — full of gentle lessons about life, love, and prayer. But when a peanut-butter-and-jelly mishap sends their favourite prayer rug off for washing, a bigger question surfaces: does it really matter where you pray, or is it the heart that counts?

With warmth and wisdom, Nanu shows his granddaughter that true connection with Allah begins on the inside — and that the moments we share with those we love make every salah more meaningful.

Nanu’s Prayer Rug is a tender, beautifully illustrated Islamic picture book for children ages 4 and up, written by physician and author Sunna Syed. Perfect for bedtime reading, it gently nurtures a child’s love of prayer while celebrating the irreplaceable bond between grandparents and grandchildren — a bond built one quiet, sacred moment at a time.

What your child will take away:

• A heartfelt introduction to salah and its deeper spiritual meaning
• The understanding that faith comes from within, not from outward objects
• Warmth and appreciation for intergenerational family connections
• A beautiful bedtime story they’ll want read again and again
