Where, Oh Where Can I Pray? – A Children’s Book by Zahra Rahman

A rhyming picture book that introduces children to salah

Where, Oh Where Can I Pray? is a playful, rhyming children’s book that introduces young readers to the beauty and accessibility of salah.

Inspired by the rhythmic style of Dr Seuss, the story follows a young Muslim child on an imaginative journey to find the perfect place to pray. From hills and seas to trees and mountains, each setting reminds children that prayer is not limited to one place. Connecting with Allah is always within reach, wherever they may be.

Through gentle humour and colourful illustrations, the book encourages curiosity, creativity, and a positive relationship with worship. Its light, engaging tone makes it especially suitable for young children who are learning about salah for the first time.

This picture book is ideal as a bedtime story or shared reading experience. It helps nurture love for prayer while sparking imagination and joy in young Muslim hearts.
