It is easy for children to overlook the simple, everyday blessings, like a warm meal, a safe home, or a sibling’s laugh, in their desire for new toys or experiences. Wise Compass helps children cultivate a habit of Shukr, or gratitude, by opening their eyes to the countless gifts from Allah Almighty that surround them daily. As Muslim parents, we want our children to be amongst the Shakireen (those who are grateful), as mentioned in the noble Quran. Our Islamic stories for kids frame gratitude not just as a ‘thank you,’ but as a way of seeing the world with a heart of wonder. 

Through values-based reading, we present characters who stop to appreciate the small things in their lives. Our faith-friendly story platform uses stories like Food Safari to explore the complex systems behind our daily meals, fostering a deep sense of gratitude for the sustenance provided by Allah Almighty. In Zarrat, An Amazing Atom, children learn to see the miraculous in the smallest parts of creation, which inspires a constant sense of Dhikr and appreciation. By following the appreciative example of holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, who was the most grateful of servants, children learn to value what they have. We want children to feel that their gratitude brings more Barakah into their lives. Wise Compass provides the language for children to express their Shukr regularly. By making everyday gratitude an attractive and rewarded trait, we help children develop a character that is defined by its contentment and joy. They learn that by being grateful, they are fulfilling a sacred duty and building a life that is filled with light and the pleasure of Allah Almighty.
