Quran for kids tells some basic concepts of Islam. These are five in number, Any person who claims to be a Muslim must admit in these and he/she must have to follow these. These are discussed in a brief way here one by one.
Shahadah—- Testimony or Declaration.
For every Muslim it is compulsory that he/she declare it Without any doubt, in a clear way that only God is able to worship And Muhammad (May Allah bless him and his holy progeny with peace) is His Last & Final Messenger. When we say that Allah is only God we admit Him as our true Lord, true Owner and The Creator. He has no partner. He is not only our creator and Lord but also the creator and lord of this whole Universe. He has no partner in the creation of this whole universe along its all stuff. He has no partner in the running of this universe. We believe that all praises are for God only. Whatever the praising words we can even think, He deserves all. No one can do flattering. However, HE is free from negative qualities. HE is far above from such things.It is a reality that human beings understand easily with examples. There is no example exists in this universe which can be presented to show the resemblance with Allah. Allah is the Arabic word which is considered as HIS personal name.
However, there are numerous other names too . All those names are basically qualities are capabilities. Allah HIMSELF says that all good names are for HIM. HE is the creator of all living organisms. HE kept HIS qualities in HIS creature as much HE wanted. Counting of that qualitative names is said 99 and including HIS personal name ,Allah, it becomes 100. However, HE knows well how many names HE has because all knowledge is with Allah only.

Allah says in Holy Quran to call HIM with his names. For example one of HIS names is “AL-RAHIM” It means “the merciful”. If we are in trouble and we need some support we may call Allah for HIS mercy with HIS name. It is the blessing of Allah that HE kept mercy in the hearts of HIS creature and we can observe it in our daily life too. “Al-MUHAYMIN” is another name which means “The Protector”. If we need protection we may call HIM with this name because Allah is the best protector.
Holy Prophet ( May Allah bless him and his holy progeny with peace)
The second part of this declaration is that Muhammad s.a.w.s is HIS messenger. Allah sent many prophets before the arrival of our Holy Prophet. It is stated that Allah appointed one hundred twenty-four hundred thousand prophets for the direction of mankind. The basic purpose of all messengers was calling to people towards Allah and conveying the message of Allah. We can say that messengers were the medium with which the divine directions were delivered. Allah appointed our Holy Prophet as HIS final messenger and sent HIS last message for the direction of human beings.
In the history, it happened many times that Allah sent any messenger in any area or towards any nation. After the death of that prophet, some people added something in that message or some people hid something from that message. Slowly slowly the time came that the true message was omitted or it became in such shape that its psych was dead. Allah appointed another prophet. This routine of addition and subtraction remained in practice until the arrival of our Holy Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.s. Allah sent HIS final prophet and messenger and revealed HIS last and final message. Now the situation is different. Allah HIMSELF is guarding HIS message. There is nothing changed in it. Even there is not a change of a single dot. A Million peoples have saved this message in their hearts. Every Muslim has memorized at least some part of Quran Karim.
Dear kids, This routine of addition and subtraction remained in practice until the arrival of our Holy Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.s. Allah sent HIS final prophet and messenger and revealed HIS last and final message. Now the situation is different. Allah HIMSELF is guarding HIS message. There is nothing changed in it. Even there is not a change of a single dot. A Million peoples have saved this message in their hearts. Every Muslim has memorized at least some part of Holy Quran.
Quran Kareem, the last and final message of Allah is in saved form. We do not need any prophet now. No prophet will be born now because the purpose of sending messengers is completed. With Allah’s will, Jesus will reveal one day near the Judgement day. Allah knows well when he will reveal but he will not come as a new prophet. He will come as a follower of our Holy Prophet. Dear kids, according to the teachings of Nobel Quran any person who claims to be a prophet is a big liar.
