Can Wise Compass help reduce jealousy and comparison at home?
Jealousy and comparison can be a major source of stress in families, leading to resentment and a lack of gratitude. Wise Compass helps children overcome these feelings by focusing on the unique blessings that Allah Almighty has given to everyone. As Muslim parents, we want our children to be happy for others and content with what they have. Our Islamic stories for kids focus on the concepts of Shukr and the dangers of Hasad (envy), showing that everyone has their own path and their own special gifts from Allah Almighty.
Through values-based reading, we show characters who learn to celebrate the successes of their siblings and friends. Our faith-friendly story platform highlights that jealousy often comes from forgetting our own blessings. In stories like The Twisted Tree, we see how jealousy can be an inner habit that needs to be noticed and purified through Tazkiyah. By mirroring the generous and supportive character of holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, who encouraged his followers to love for their brothers what they love for themselves, children are inspired to be big-hearted. We want children to feel that their value is not dependent on what someone else has. Wise Compass provides the social-emotional learning tools for children to process feelings of comparison in a healthy way. By making gratitude and generosity attractive and rewarded traits, we help children find joy in their own lives and in the lives of those around them. They learn that by being content and supportive, they are bringing peace to their hearts and earning the pleasure of Allah Almighty, leading to a home filled with Barakah and mutual love.
