Children of Islam

Children of Islam is an Islamic video for children aged 4 to 9: a short, music-free nasheed that reminds young Muslims that with Allah in their hearts, they will always stay on the right path.

The song speaks directly to children. Its words remind them to praise Allah, to be proud of their place in the Ummah of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, the worldwide family of Muslims, and to hold firm to their faith, with the promise of a brighter future for those who do.

Many songs for children are about what they should do. This one is about who they are. It tells a young child that they belong to something much bigger than themselves: a family of believers that stretches across the world and back through history to the Prophet ﷺ and his Companions. For a child who is one of only a few Muslims in their class, or who is just starting to ask what it means to be a Muslim, that can be a comforting and confident message.

The video is about three minutes long and music-free, so it suits families who prefer nasheeds with voices only. It is a good song to play in the car or before bed, and children who hear it often will soon be singing along. Afterwards, parents can talk with their child about what it means to be part of the Ummah, and how they can keep Allah in their hearts every day.
