A is for Allah is the name of a Muslim-themed double album for children by Yusuf Islam (formerly known as Cat Stevens) released on July 11, 2000 through Resurgence UK Records.

The musician used the 28-letter Arabic alphabet as a vehicle to teach children about the religion. This kind of Islamic music is also known as nasheed. The album had been in the works since 1994, although the title track dates back to 1980, when it was written after the birth of his first child.
