What is Turn to Allah about?
Turn to Allah is an Islamic animated song for children aged 4 to 9 that teaches that Allah is always there, guiding us on the right path, wherever we are and wherever we come from.
A young pilot in goggles sets off in a little red aeroplane with a map and flies around the world. The plane lands among tipis on the plains, by a waterfall, in a jungle village where children sit in front of a blackboard with "Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem" written on it, on a tropical island with a campfire under the stars, and in the snow, where a husky sled carries the pilot to an igloo. In every place, the pilot sits down and reads with the children who live there.
The chorus is simple: "He is there wherever you are, so turn, turn, turn to Allah." The verses ask where you live, in a tent or in a town, and where you come from, north, south, east or west. It does not matter: Allah knows who turns to Him. The children sing that they pray to their Lord to keep them guided on the road, because we all need guidance wherever we are. The song ends with "Allahu, Allahu, jalla jalaluhu": Allah, Allah, great is His majesty.
It lasts about 3 minutes and is music-free.
The song helps children see that Muslims live all over the world, in every kind of home, and that every one of them can turn to Allah in dua, at any time and in any place.
