Islam for kids · What we believe
Allah made everything around us. Every tree, star and animal is a sign that reminds us of Him.
One of Allah's beautiful names is Al-Khaliq: the One who creates. Only Allah can make something from nothing.

The sun rises, the night comes, the rain falls and flowers grow. Each one is a sign that helps us think about Allah.
إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَاخْتِلَافِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ لَآيَاتٍ لِّأُولِي الْأَلْبَابِ
inna fī khalqi s-samāwāti wa l-arḍi wa khtilāfi l-layli wa n-nahāri la-āyātin li-ulī l-albāb
Source: Al 'Imran 3:190
Your eyes to see, your ears to hear, your hands to help: Allah made you in the best shape.

When we eat, play, wake up or feel happy, we thank Allah by saying alhamdulillah: all praise is for Allah.
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ
al-ḥamdu lillāh
Allah promises that if we are thankful, He will give us even more.

Tip for parents: read one lesson together, then practise it, for example wudu before prayer.
