Will Wise Compass help my child practise self-control even when they feel powerful? 

When a child feels they have the upper hand, whether because they are older, faster, or simply in a position of influence, the temptation to misuse that power can be strong. Wise Compass helps children understand that power is an Amanah, or a trust, from Allah Almighty that must be handled with humility. As Muslim parents, we want our children to be leaders who serve rather than dominate. Our Islamic stories for kids show that the greatest test of character is how we treat those who cannot push back, encouraging a sense of responsibility and kindness.

Through values-based reading, we present scenarios where characters have the chance to be bossy but choose to be helpful instead. Our faith-friendly story platform highlights that true strength is found in self-control, not in control over others. In stories like The Boy Who Silenced a King, children see that courage is most noble when it is used for the sake of truth and justice, not for personal ego. By following the humble and compassionate example of holy Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, who never misused his authority, children are inspired to be fair. We want children to feel that their abilities are a gift to be used for the pleasure of Allah Almighty. Wise Compass provides the social-emotional learning skills needed to lead with grace and empathy. By making humility in power an attractive trait, we help children develop a resilient identity. They learn that by being gentle when they could be harsh, they are reflecting the light of the noble Quran and building a character that is truly respected and loved by others.
