A simple approach to Istikhara for young children
Imagine this...
A child torn between two choices.
Possible melt-down? Maybe?
But, what if, from young, we show children a way to seek certainty?
As children grow, they face choices in areas like:
Friendships
School decisions
Life paths
As parents, we should ask ourselves:
Will my child turn to Allah when they’re unsure?
Do they truly understand how to seek guidance?
How can I teach or introduce Istikhara in a way they actually understand?
This book makes the action and request simple and at a level that is age-appropriate for young children.
Not only does it build their self-worth, children will remember that Allah will always be there for them.
Even everyday or mundane matters like trimming their hair can be a BIG deal for young children. No matter is too small for Allah and as parents we should not dismiss these fears but give our young the confidence in seeking the best path by turning to Allah.
INTRODUCING
Nour's First Haircut
Poofy. Tangled. Messy.
That’s Nour’s hair on most days. To tame it takes forever! She wants to cut it.
But, should she? She decides to ask Allah.
On day one, she feels confused.
On day two, she wonders if she missed any signs from Allah.
On day three, she gets her answer.
Follow Nour along as she discovers the beauty of istikharah.
An introduction to our little ones to always seek Allah when in doubt - even about the littlest things.

About the Author
A graphic designer by trade, a stay-at-home mum by choice and a passionate daydreamer by habit, Ameera Binsemait first dreamt of publishing a
book when she was just 14 years old. Now a mum of two young daughters, she takes inspiration from her life at home to create stories that are
relatable to other mums around the world.
Ameera founded everydaymama, an online community to serve and support other stay-at-home mums through events and get togethers, offering a platform for mums like herself to connect with one another and build the village they need. Ameera has been featured in Berita Harian and CNA Singapore.
Years of unfinished ideas on random pieces of paper later, “Nour’s First Haircut” is her debut picture book.
About PEARLISTA
Pearlista is a ladies-only hair space where mums come to care for their hair and scalp... and sometimes, just take a quiet moment for themselves.
In our little space, we have witnessed the sweetest things. Mummies bringing their daughters for their first haircut… Some excited, some a bit shy and some holding mummy’s hand the whole time.
Then slowly, they get comfortable. They sit next to mummy… watch what she’s doing… and before you know it, they want to do everything together! Soft giggles, curious questions and moments you didn’t realise you’d remember and this is our favourite part.
At Pearlista, it is never just solely about hair. It is about helping your little one feel safe, special and just a little bit grown up right beside you. 💛
