Islamic products for kids

The kids department covers the four things parents come in for most: thobes and clothing, Islamic books written for children, toys and learning aids, and the madrassah gear that gets replaced every year. Books make up the largest part of it, from picture books for the very young to story collections for confident readers.

Most of it is chosen to be used rather than displayed, which is why the toys lean educational and the clothing is cut to be worn to madrassah and on Eid. Prices stay low across the department, since almost everything here is something a child grows out of.

Questions and answers

What does the kids department cover?
It brings together kids thobes and clothing, Islamic books for children, toys and learning aids, and madrassah gear. Books are the biggest part of the range, followed by toys and clothing.
What age range are the Islamic books for?
The children's range runs from simple picture and board books for toddlers through to story collections aimed at confident readers. The intended age or reading level is given on the product page where the publisher provides it.
What sizes do kids thobes come in?
Kids thobes are sold by age or by length depending on the brand, and the size chart is on each product page. Children grow through them quickly, so sizing up is the safer choice when you are between sizes.
Do you stock matching thobes for fathers and sons?
Several styles are made in both adult and kids sizes in the same cut, which is what most families want for Eid. Whether a matching pair is available depends on stock in both ranges at the time.
What madrassah gear do you stock?
The madrassah range covers the practical items children need for classes, including bags, kitaabs and learning aids. It moves fastest at the start of the madrassah year, so ranges shift through the year.
Are the toys educational?
The toy range leans towards learning rather than novelty, covering things that teach letters, duas and the basics of salah. What each one teaches is described on its product page.
What is a good gift for a Muslim child?
A book, a small toy or a kids musallah are the easiest choices, since none of them need a size. For a first salah or a madrassah prize, a kids prayer mat in a gift box is the usual pick.
Do you stock kids prayer mats?
Yes, kids musallah are made smaller and in brighter designs, and they sit in the prayer mat range rather than in this department. They are a common gift when a child starts praying regularly.
How much do things cost in the kids department?
Most of the kids range is inexpensive, with books and small toys at the low end and thobes running up to roughly R1,099 for premium styles. The department is deliberately weighted towards affordable items.
Can I bring my children to the shop?
Yes, and it is often easier than guessing sizes. Cii Stores is a physical shop in Ormonde, Johannesburg, where children can try thobes on and pick books themselves, or you can order online for delivery across South Africa.
Are the books in English?
The children's range is largely English, with some Arabic and dual language titles. The language is listed on each product page, which is worth checking for madrassah set work.
How much is delivery and how long does it take?
Standard shipping is R160 and orders are delivered within 3 to 5 business days. Delivery is free on orders over R1000.
Can I return something from the kids range?
Yes. Non consumable items can be returned within 7 days in unused, unopened condition and in their original packaging. Please note that sale items are non refundable.
