Children often fall into the trap of ‘bargaining’, doing a good deed only if they receive something immediate in return. Wise Compass helps shift this mindset by teaching the beauty of Ikhlas, or doing things purely for the pleasure of Allah Almighty. As Muslim parents, we want to raise children who give from the heart without looking for a price tag on their kindness. Our Islamic stories for kids frame giving as a private and sacred act that brings a unique light to the soul, far more valuable than any physical reward. 

Through values-based reading, we show characters who perform quiet acts of service and find that the internal peace they feel is the ultimate reward. Our faith-friendly story platform highlights that when we give for the sake of Allah Almighty, we are building a treasure that never fades. In stories like Ask and You Shall Be Answered, the focus is on sincerity and trust in the abundance of Allah Almighty. By following the extraordinarily generous example of holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, who gave without ever thinking of himself, children are inspired to be open-handed. We want children to feel that their generosity is a way to show gratitude for their own blessings. Wise Compass provides the emotional motivation for children to help others simply because it is the right thing to do. This builds their social-emotional learning and character. By making sincere giving an attractive and heroic trait, we help children move away from ‘what is in it for me?’ and toward a life of selfless service and Barakah.
