Gentleness, or Rifq, is a trait that is deeply beloved to Allah Almighty, and there is no better place to practise it than with one’s siblings and friends. Wise Compass helps children understand that being gentle is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of a strong and beautiful heart. As Muslim parents, we want our children to treat each other with tenderness and care. Our Islamic stories for kids focus on the small acts of gentleness that make sibling life more harmonious, from sharing a toy to helping each other during a difficult time. 

Our faith-friendly story platform features characters who choose gentleness over force and kindness over competition. Through values-based reading, children see the positive atmosphere that a gentle heart creates in the home. In stories like The Miracle of Rain, the concept of mercy and gentleness in nature is shown as a reflection of Allah Almighty’s love. By following the extraordinarily gentle example of holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, who was never harsh even with children, our narratives inspire children to be soft-hearted with their siblings. We want children to feel that their gentleness is a way to bring Barakah into their home. Wise Compass provides the emotional motivation for children to be patient and caring with their brothers and sisters. This builds their social-emotional learning and empathy. By making gentleness an attractive and heroic trait, we help children reduce the physical and verbal roughness that can sometimes occur. They learn that by being gentle, they are earning the love of Allah Almighty and building a lifelong bond with others that is rooted in mercy and respect.
