What does it mean to trust Allah?
Tawakkul means doing our best and then leaving the rest to Allah, knowing that He is always with us. The Prophets show it again and again. Prophet Ibrahim (AS) says Hasbunallahu wa ni'mal wakil as he is thrown into the fire, and Allah makes it cool. The mother of Prophet Musa (AS) places her baby in the river, trusting Allah's promise to return him. Hajar runs between the hills until Zamzam springs up, and in the cave on the Hijrah the Prophet ﷺ tells Abu Bakr not to grieve, for Allah is with them.
Other titles carry that trust into a child's own worries. A girl is nervous on her first day at school, a boy hears noises in the night, and a little bird lost in the jungle learns from Uncle Asad to ask Allah to guide her home. The Names of Allah videos, with Sheikh Azhari and his children, explain names such as Ar-Razzaq, the Provider, and Al-Muhaymin, the Guardian, and jigsaw puzzles carry names like Al-Waliy, our Protecting Friend.
On every title's page you will find the lessons it teaches and questions to talk through together, a help on the days your child is worried about something of their own.

Frequently asked questions
What is tawakkul, in words a child can understand?
Tawakkul is trusting Allah. We do our part, like getting ready carefully for a new school, and then we trust Allah with how things turn out. One song here puts it simply: do your best and trust Allah with the rest.
What can my child say to Allah when they feel afraid?
These titles teach short words for hard moments: Hasbunallahu wa ni'mal wakil, which Prophet Ibrahim (AS) said in the fire, and the words of Prophet Yunus (AS) from inside the whale. Bedtime titles add the Prophet's ﷺ sunnah of reciting the last three surahs before sleep.
Which Prophets trusted Allah in these stories?
Ibrahim, Musa, Yunus, Nuh, Yusuf and Dawood (AS) all appear, along with the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ in the cave on the Hijrah. The stories of Hajar at Zamzam and Maryam under the palm tree show the same trust.
