Muslim parents are facing unprecedented challenges in raising their kids. Never before have children been systematically inundated with such gross fitra-warping concepts as they are now. 

The proliferation of unislamic influences in the dominant culture leaves many Muslim parents confronted with difficult decisions to safeguard their children's faith. 

This situation raises important questions for parents:

1. How can I instill in my children a deep love for Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him), and provide them with a strong foundation in Islamic teachings?
    
2. How can I ensure that my children acquire essential skills for success in today's world while remaining deeply grounded in their faith?
    
3. How can I prepare my children to face the trials and tribulations of our times, and maintain a firm grasp on their faith in the face of adversity?

Imagine This!

🦋 Imagine: Your child, blossoming into a confident and knowledgeable Muslim, skillfully weaving their strong Islamic values into a deep understanding of the English language.  

Imagine a world in which every Muslim parent can sit down with their children for just 15 minutes a day to teach them about their faith in a nurturing and systematic way. 

But that's not all - imagine being able to provide your children with a strong K–12 English Language Arts (ELA) program that builds them up to read at levels years ahead of their peers.

Imagine … An Islamic ELA program can handle these two essential subjects simultaneously, significantly freeing up your time!

Swords & Butterflies, our Islamic-themed English Language Arts program, brings this vision to life. We promise to enrich your child's education with pure, engaging, age-appropriate content that reflects Islamic teachings and values. 🕌 
 

With such a program, your children can systematically build their English vocabulary, spelling, fluency, grammar, and reading skills while learning classical Islamic disciplines and subjects like:

1. The 99 Names of Allah
2. Akhlaq and Adab
3. Hadith
4. Shama'il (the characteristics of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him)
5. Stories of the Prophets (peace be upon them), sahaba, and the righteous
6. History
7. Tafsir of the Quran
8. Duas and Dhikr

Additionally, it will help them develop a deep understanding of contemporary challenges. 

This powerful combination of Islamic education and English language development not only equips children with the tools they need to succeed in today's world but also ensures that they maintain an unbreakable connection to their faith.

Our Ummah Needs This … Now!

The decline in religious and moral values in the West has reached unprecedented levels, inundating our society with bizarre ideologies and satanic philosophies.

Alarmingly, much of this deviance is targeted at children, seeking to warp their natural disposition. 

We must do everything possible to instill a love of Allah and His beloved Prophet ﷺ in them from an early age. 

This is where you come in. This is a crisis that requires urgent action. 

Donating to this project helps address this critical need to build a stronger, more resilient Ummah.

The World’s First Full-fledged Islamic K–12 ELA Program!

While there are many Islamic kids' books available in English, no comprehensive program combines English language learning with the knowledge of the deen. As a homeschooling parent, I spent years researching ELA programs.

Forced to use an eclectic combination that would fill some of the gaps, but not all, I finally decided to develop an Islamic K–12 ELA program that would meet the needs of both my own children as well as those of the ummah. 

After two years of hard work, we are close to releasing the first books (grades 1–2) of this systematic Islamic ELA program. 

However, we still need funds for professional editing, final design work, and printing costs. 

Our program builds on the timeless ELA concepts of classic programs and incorporates well-established insights from modern research. Each level in the series comprises: 

1. Four Main Readers: The Primer, a Shamail Reader, a 99 Names of Allah Reader, and a Prophets Reader.
    
2. Writing Program: The first levels will focus on handwriting and phonics. In later levels, it transitions into a spelling and writing program.
    
3. A Grammar/ELA Workbook: Starts of gentle and steadily progresses into more a full-fledge grammar and rhetoric textbook.
    
4. Additional books: books of poetry, stories, teacher guides, and activity books to be published throughout, beginning in the summer 2025 insha'Allah.

We will then release two new grades every 12–15 months.

Some Unique Attributes of the Program: 

1. Mastery: Carefully curated selection of new vocabulary per chapter ensures full mastery before moving on.
    
2. Short: 50–60 one-page lessons for each of the four readers, making them meaningful and memorable.
    
3. Modular: Our program is modular, meaning you can use our books in various orders. We even offer suggested schedules based on how many days you teach weekly.
    
4. Methodology Independent: Works with various methodologies, including classic approaches, Montessori, Unschooling, Waldorf, unit studies, and more. 
    
5. Beautiful: Typography, calligraphy, and graphic design create a captivating whole.
    
6. Analytical: Data-driven approach for excellence; our Primer includes the 125 most commonly used English words within just 52 pages.
    
7. Adaptable: Suitable for schools, homeschoolers, masjids, or non-homeschooling families, serving as a daily Islamic studies program that supplements their school's English program.
    
8. Traditional: Inspired by classic Islamic texts, building fluency in foundational concepts across various disciplines.

“Mashallah this is amazing.  I love how this curriculum combines reading and writing skills with the teachings of Islam.  It’s an efficient and less time-consuming way of learning our deen and basic reading and writing conventions. It will save a lot of time for parents and make it easier for kids.”
