How do children learn to say Alhamdulillah and mean it?

Allah says in the Qur'an, "If you are grateful, I will surely give you more." The titles here turn that into everyday habits. The rhyming Allah Gave Me books thank Allah for each of the senses in turn, a little girl and her kitten find reasons all day to say Alhamdulillah, and a counting book goes from the sun in the sky to ten bedtime hugs. The Names of Allah videos, with Sheikh Azhari and his children, explain what Alhamdulillah means and teach the tasbih before sleep.

Gratitude reaches people too. The Prophet ﷺ said that whoever does not thank people has not thanked Allah, and the titles show a boy who finally sees what his busy dad does for him, a song about a mum's day, and twins who learn never to waste water during a drought. Even the food games carry the lesson of Bismillah before eating and Alhamdulillah after.

On each title's page you will see the lessons it teaches and questions to ask afterwards, a good start to naming three blessings together at bedtime.

Key lessons children take from these stories, games, audiobooks and videos

  • Allah gave us hands and feet so we can touch, play, eat and walk.
  • Allah gave us five senses, and each one is a gift.
  • Allah gave us our noses so we can enjoy the smells of His world.
  • Allah created the four seasons, and each one brings its own blessings.
  • Allah listens every time we make dua.
  • We can ask Allah for help for other people, not only for ourselves.

Frequently asked questions

What does Alhamdulillah mean, and when do children say it?

Alhamdulillah means all praise and thanks are for Allah. Children can say it after eating, when something good happens, and whenever they notice one of Allah's gifts.

How can I teach my child to be thankful instead of always wanting more?

The Prophet ﷺ advised looking at those who have less rather than those who have more, so that we do not look down on Allah's blessings. A short khutbah on jealousy teaches this, and stories about hungry days and wasted food make it concrete.

Why teach children to thank people as well as Allah?

The Prophet ﷺ said that whoever does not thank people has not thanked Allah. Saying Jazakallahu khair to parents, teachers and friends is a simple way to practise both.
