How can children see Allah in the world around them?
The Allah Gave Me books and audiobooks take the senses one by one, thanking Allah for eyes, ears, nose, tongue, hands and feet. Other titles move through the four seasons, count ten blessings from the sun to bedtime hugs, or follow a girl who looks at the moon and stars and asks who made them. The answer is Al-Khaliq, the Creator.
Many titles are games. Children listen for an animal's name and tap the right picture, match birds, insects, fruits and sea creatures in memory games, and learn each creature's name in English and Arabic. Songs by Zain Bhikha and Dada & Me have every creature saying who made it, for the Qur'an tells us there is nothing that does not glorify Allah.
Stories of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ show how to treat what Allah made: he speaks up for a starved camel, has a sparrow's chicks given back to her, and, in one picture book's telling, is hidden in a cave by a little spider's web. In Aya & Yusuf, twins clean up a campsite to protect nature's balance and learn not to waste water.
Each title's page lists the lessons it teaches and questions to talk about, which you can carry with you on your next walk in the park.
Key lessons children take from these stories, audiobooks and videos
- Allah gave us five senses, and each one is a gift.
- Allah made each of His creatures just as they are.
- Allah made every animal, and each one has a place where it lives.
- Only Allah deserves to be worshipped, not the sun or anything He created.
- Allah created Adam (AS) and gave him knowledge that even the angels did not have.
- Al Qaswa was the Prophet Muhammad's ﷺ favourite camel.

Frequently asked questions
How can I teach my child that Allah made everything?
Start with what your child can see, touch and hear, and ask who made it. Songs where each animal names its Creator, and games that teach the names of birds, insects and fruit, give plenty to talk about.
What does the Qur'an say about animals praising Allah?
The Qur'an says that everything in the heavens and the earth glorifies Allah, and the birds with wings outspread, each knowing its own way of prayer and praise. It also says there is nothing that does not glorify Him, though we do not understand how.
How can children look after Allah's creation?
Allah made people caretakers of the Earth. Children can help by not wasting water or food, using less plastic, picking up litter and being kind to animals, as the Prophet ﷺ was.
