My Book About God was first published in 1992. The present edition has been substantially revised. Particular attention has been given to make the text easy flowing as well as to its clear layout and design.
Moreover it includes some new material. For example some important extracts from the writings of the Promised Messiah, may peace be upon him, have been added.
The concept of God has been put forth in all its glory and wealth in the Holy Quran, the scripture of Islam, and explained truly and adequately by the Holy Prophet, may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him. At the present time a servant of the Holy Prophet of Islam, Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) of Qadian, the Promised Messiah, revived it in the light of the Islamic teachings for our benefit.
Islam presents a living God, Who communicates with His servants as He did in the past. He is the one who is Eternal, All Powerful, All Knowing and the Creator of all things. He is the one, Who punishes the transgressors, but also forgives them where it is wise to forgive.
The author has tried to explain all these aspects in this booklet, creating an everyday situation where children ask questions to their elders.
The Children’s Book Committee is working under the guidance and instructions of Hazrat Khalifatul-Masih IV (rta).
May Allah bless its members for their dedication and hard work and reward them abundantly. We hope that the book will prove of tremendous value and benefit to children of all ages, new comers to Islam, and others who are interested in the subject.
We welcome suggestions and comments from our readers.
