Where do children meet kindness in these titles?

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that a smile in your brother's face is charity, and that Allah shows mercy to those who are merciful. Several titles come from hadith about his care for Allah's creatures: a camel starved by its owner, a sparrow whose chicks were taken, and the trunk of a date palm that cried until he held it. Another tells of a thirsty traveller who climbs down a well to give water to a dying dog, and whom Allah forgives.

Just as many titles show kindness close to home. A girl teaches a grumpy man to use kind words, animals start a club that leaves no one out, and friends find a gentle way to bring a bear out of his cave. The Aya & Yusuf and Dada & Me videos turn kind words, caring and fairness into farm adventures and songs, and short khutbahs by Imam Ajmal Masroor talk to older children about parents, racism and humility.

Open any title's page for the lessons it teaches and questions to talk about afterwards, such as a time when someone was kind to your child.

Frequently asked questions

What did the Prophet ﷺ teach about kindness to animals?

He told his companions to return a mother bird's chicks, spoke up for a camel that was starved and overworked, and told of a man forgiven for giving water to a thirsty dog. These hadith are retold here as audiobooks and a video.

Are all these kindness stories Islamic?

No. Many retell hadith or the life of the Prophet ﷺ, but others are simply warm stories about friendship, fairness and including others, chosen because they suit Muslim families.

How can small children practise kindness at home?

Start with what the titles show: a smile, a kind word, helping before being asked and inviting someone lonely to play. After a story, pick one small act to try together that day.
