“Is it Iftar yet?”
“How many hours are left??”
I’am hungry…. can I get to see one more cartoon?
As a parent, you have listened to the following lines over and over again from the very first day of Ramadan. You intend your child to experience the blessings of this month, but now they only concentrate on the starvation and the delay. You try to narrate a story to them, but they are diverted back to a reel, video or a game on your phone.
Are you losing the fight to win the heart of your child during this Ramadan?
This is the fact: Kids do not want a lecture. They want an adventure. This is the place where we modify the game. Rather than go against the screen, we should make the screen work for their Deen. Below are the 5 English stories for kids on the AlifLaila Digital Kids Library that are hooking enough that your children might even forget to look at the clock.
Messengers of Allah
This is the “big one.” When your child is asked a question, Who are the Prophets, this book is the best learning tool for kids. It addresses the life and experiences of the prophets in a very interesting way, that reads like a blockbuster film. It is an ideal read to keep them occupied in the pre-iftar hour.
Who is He?
Ever had a 6-year-old of yours, went asking, Mama, where is Allah? or “Who made the stars?” This is a masterpiece book for curious children. It is a detective type of story, which makes children understand that all things in nature lead back to the Creator. It is the ultimate solution to converting a boring situation into the desire to know something.
Sadaqa
Ramadan is giving month but how do you explain to a child that giving away your toys or money makes more blessings? This is a story that brings the idea of charity to life and to the reader. It is among the finest Islamic stories for kids that they can read collectively before going out to help in the community.
Promise
It is a moral hook that all parents must tell to their children. We have all been there, when a child swears to complete his or her fast or even to complete their chores, and then they simply fail in doing so. This Islamic story tells the significance of a word in our religion. It educates them that as Muslims, they should become who can be trusted.
Keep your Heart Clean
During the center of the Ramadan grumpiness, children end up being a little bit mean towards their siblings. The book is a lovely teaching about the values of kindness and inner character. It is the ideal heart-thumper of those long afternoons.
The Final Piece of the Puzzle
Ramadan is about building better habits, however we as parents are always concerned about too much screen time. Actually, it is not about the screen, but about what is enclosed in it.
