ISLAM FOR KIDS

ISLAM FOR KIDS

Kids are so inquisitive they always have something going on in their mind. . I feel the best way to talk to children is 

through nature. We happen to cross a tree every day. It is a place, we stop for some time, due to traffic. 

While we wait, my daughter asked me, why have all the leaves of this tree have fallen off? Is the tree dead? Cute are these 
questions! Well, I never miss an opportunity, I said, it is indeed a good question, the tree looks lifeless, it looks dead, 
and Allah has explained this question of yours in the Quran and tells us to think and reason. 
Allah says, He gives life to the land, after it is dead just like after we die Allah will give us life again in the hereafter 
and you will see in a few days that this tree will again bare leaves and will again look full of life, In’ sha’Allah. It was 
excitement for them and I suppose a challenge as well to see, if what mum said was right or wrong. ..

REVIVE A SUNNAH.............DOnt lie on Stomach
Medically speaking sleeping on stomach can cause neck and back pain. Due to pressure on nerves one may feel pins and needles 
when wake up and due to pressure on limbs blood vessels one may also experience numbness. Moreover during sleeping on 
stomach, face muscles are squeezed that may lead to wrinkles on the face
It is narrated from Qais bin Tihfah Al-Ghifari (r.a) that his father said: “The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) found me sleeping 
in the mosque on my stomach. He nudged me with his foot and said: ‘Why are you sleeping like this? This is kind of sleep that 
Allah dislikes,’ or ‘that Allah hates.’ ”
[Sunan Ibn-e-Majah, Chapters on Etiquette, Hadith: 3723]
