I was never really taught the word Sahaba and when I first came across it I was confused.
So what does Sahaba mean? Sahaba refers to the companions, friends and family of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad, (PBUH).
Again that some something I didn’t know much about. Not having been taught much about Islamic history apart from the very basics I realised that that was something I could not then teach my children either. I had to learn myself while teaching them.
That is why when I saw the Learning Roots Sahaba Cards I had to purchase them and they also doubled up as an Eid present last year.
Learning Roots Sahaba Cards

The box contains cards which provide glimpses into the lives of men and women who were around the Prophet (pbuh), a contents card and a card giving some suggestions on how to use the cards.
Which Companions are Included?
There are 34 Companions in the set. These are:

How to Use The Cards
The cards can simply be read to learn about the sahaba. However a number of ways are suggested to help make it more fun.
Guess Who
A player picks a card and reads it out (without mentioning the name) and the other players have to guess who it is.
Question Time
A player picks a card and makes up questions based on the information provided in the card to test the other players knowledge about that Companion.
Memory Game
One Companion is picked and all the players try to remember as much information as they can about that Companion.
What Did We Think?

The cards are the perfect resource for children, and adults, to learn about the Sahaba. They are not too long but still provide important information to learn about the Companions. The different ways of using the cards make it fun and truly test your knowledge too.
The quality of the goods is also good and what I liked was that there is a saying of the Prophet (pbuh) on each card.
These cards are ideal to give as a gift. To learn more take a look at the Learning Roots website.

OoOoooO the cover and cards look awesome and appear to be of great quality! Also the items places beside the pack look so beautiful. I learnt about the Sahabah in my O-levels, mainly the ten blessed companions, his close family and the mothers of the faithful; I rest I think I know by name, but they all have very inspiring stories (I should learn more about them too).
Thanks for telling how the game is played; it sounds interesting. These cards will definitely introduce Islamic history to children in a fun manner

Definitely a good resource to help teach the kids
These cards look amazing! I also wanted to get the sahaba quest game but the price kept me off. But thos looks like something we can invest in as the sahaba love in our home is going strong at the moment
Definitely worth the investment
Oh MashaAllah very beautiful game. Learning and playing can be done at the same time.
It is a very lovely set of cards
Oh wow, these look awesome! What a unique way to learn about the companions! They look like they’d be suitable for adults who are just curious to learn too.
Yes definitely good for adults too!
This looks like a beautiful game to play with our children to help them learn about the holy companions! I wonder if it is available in Canada
I am not sure…you can check their website to see if they post internationally.
