As you will know from watching Zayn and Zayna’s adventures, Zayna often receives help and guidance from Nanee’s special book.

Many people all around the world have a similar book, but there are different names, ideas and beliefs in countries across the globe. Though these beliefs may be different, they do all share a common goal: to improve the world by loving each other, and helping each other out as much as we can.

There are six main belief systems, known as ‘World Religions.’ These are:

● Christianity
● Islam
● Buddhism
● Hinduism
● Judaism
● Sikhism

In some countries, people practice and believe different things outside of these – perhaps you know somebody with a different faith or religion!

All of these main World Religions have different practices, traditions, precious books and beliefs, but they also have a lot in common: their followers all believe in being kind, respectful and tolerant, and helping people out wherever possible.

Many will have their very own precious book – just like Nanee. This can give them advice and guidance, help them when they are unsure, and contains stories and tales which can help the reader to understand the world.

Check out our ‘World Religions’ cards to learn more about all the different beliefs, and try to see how many different religions and beliefs there are around you!
