Giving the Gift of
Salah to Every Child
Shabs and Eisa are showing the world that every child — regardless of ability — deserves to connect with Allah through Salah.
In just three weeks, over 100 children with additional needs received the gift of Salah.
Meet Shabs & Eisa
Shabana (Shabs) is a mother from Bradford. Eisa is her son. He has Down syndrome.
What began as one prayer mat for one child became something bigger. Families reached out. Children who struggled in mosques or with traditional learning finally had something made for them.
Today, Shabs and Eisa personally deliver interactive prayer mats — house to house, child to child — gifting over 100 mats in just three weeks across the UK.
Why Can’t Our Children Pray Too?
Many children with Down syndrome, autism and learning difficulties want to pray. But loud mosques, long prayers and inaccessible learning methods often leave them excluded. As Shabs explains, these children feel peace when they hear Qur’an. They want to join in. They want to belong.

More Than a Prayer Mat

This is barakah in action — one sincere step, returned many times over by Allah.
