30 Bedtime Stories For 30 Values From the Quran: (Islamic books for kids)

Product Information

Bedtime stories are a beloved pastime among children. Why not read them a bedtime story that educates them about our wonderful Prophet Muhammad ﷺ? One day, before Islam was taught by the prophet Muhammad, a young man named Abu Bakrwalked with his father, Abu Quhaafah, in the desert. They were going to pray in a room filled with idols. Abu Bakr’s father told him to worship the idols, then left Abu Bakr there alone.

When you incorporate Islamic stories into your children’s bedtime routine, you’re not just putting them to sleep; you’re awakening their hearts to the beauty of faith. Children are like sponges, absorbing knowledge, and values from their surroundings. Bedtime stories that convey Islamic principles can profoundly instil moral compasses that shape their character, and lead them to the path of righteousness. Al-Qaswa was the camel that Prophet (saw) often mounted – in Hajj while traveling to Makkah when he came to Medina, etc. The story of Qaswa starts with a tiny intro of hijrah (which marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar) – how Qaswa carried the Prophet (ﷺ) across a desert from Makkah to Medina. Then the story of how she chose a resting place for the Prophet (saw) in Medina and how she accompanied the Prophet (saw) in his 1st and last pilgrimage unfolds one by one. 24) Arabic letters (alif to khaa)

Kindness and Forgiveness

Get up before your children. Snatch that hour even if you have to study in your pyjamas to save yourself the time it would take to get dressed. Prophet Muhammad himself was a very kind and loving person. He treated every one, young and old, with kindness and respect. This is what Allah says in the Qur’an regarding the way the Prophet (salla Allahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) used to teach the Sahabah:

Lately, I have been talking about homeschooling with several people I know; Women who have either just taken their child out of school, have decided to start with their little ones or are seriously considering not sending their big kids to secondary school. Each of them is in a very different predicament in terms of the age of her children and the extent of their experience of public school; what they have in common is that they all are entering uncharted territory. Their situations – different as they might be – all remind me of giving birth (and no – not in terms of pain!!!): the decision to take full charge of your child’s education has a certain solemnity to it. You just know that it will forever be intertwined with your experience as a parent. It is thinking about these friends of mine and their families that some reflections started bubbling up to the surface of my conscience. Usually a child would have two parents, grandparents, uncles, aunties, older cousins, family friends: each of these people has something he or she could bring to the education of your children, some talents and abilities your children might be able to learn from. Then there are other homeschooling parents that may want to set up clubs about something that they are good at and/or that interests their children. There are homeschooling co-ops, tutors, online courses… There are countless ways out there to get help in teaching our children, if one can be proactive and a bit creative.The Thinking Muslim is dedicated to exploring issues in some more depth and untangling the complexities of the world around us.
