What is Give Thanks to Allah about?
Give Thanks to Allah is an Islamic animated video for children aged 4 to 9: a short song that thanks Allah for all His blessings and teaches some of His beautiful names.
The song opens with a simple call. Give thanks to Allah for the moon and the stars, and praise Him all day for what is and what was. Take hold of your iman, don't give in to Shaytan, and, O you who believe, give thanks to Allah.
The middle of the song is in Arabic and English. Allah is Ghafoor, the Forgiving. Allah is Raheem, the Merciful. Allah loves the muhsineen, those who do good. He is our Creator and our Sustainer, and He has power over all things.
The pictures follow a family. It begins with a crescent moon over the night sky and a mother, father and daughter praying outside under the stars. Then the story follows a father who travels into space as an astronaut, watched by his little girl as the rocket launches, floating inside a space station and working outside it, before he comes back down through the sky and home to his children. It is a picture of the wonder of the moon and stars the song thanks Allah for.
At about two minutes long, it is easy to watch again and learn by heart, and it gives children words to use when they want to thank Allah.
