]]> Prophetic Narrations for Children https://abumdaf.com/prophetic-narrations-for-children https://abumdaf.com/prophetic-narrations-for-children Sat, 11 Oct 2025 16:06:29 +0100 Salisu Iliyasu The book teaches fundamental Islamic manners, morals, and social etiquette, with each lesson being a short, easy-to-understand prophetic quote from sources like Saheeh al-Bukhāri and Saheeh Muslim.

Key Teachings of the Book:

The narrations emphasize the following core principles:

Good Character and Trust

  • Defining the true Muslim as one from whose tongue and hand others are safe.

  • The importance of honesty: "He who deceives us is not one of us".

  • The gravity of lying, breaking promises, and being treacherous (signs of a hypocrite).

  • Good manners are the heaviest thing on the scale of deeds.

  • The importance of modesty: "Modesty is part of faith".

  • The reward for those who humble themselves for the sake of Allāh: "Allāh raises his status".

Mercy and Interpersonal Relations

  • Allāh's mercy is granted only to those who are merciful to mankind.

  • Extending goodness to one's neighbour.

  • Avoiding private conversation when a third person is present, as it may upset them.

  • Believers should be united and reinforce each other, like bricks in a building.

  • Specific greetings etiquette (rider to pedestrian, small group to large, young to old).

  • The five specific rights a Muslim has over another (e.g., returning salām, visiting the sick).

Worship and Daily Etiquette

  • Purity is half of the faith.

  • Eating Etiquette: Mentioning Bismillah (in the name of Allāh), eating with the right hand, and eating from what is directly in front of you. Also, how to correct forgetting to say Bismillah at the start.

  • Allāh is pleased with the servant who praises Him after eating or drinking.

  • The virtue of prayer in congregation (27 degrees more virtuous than praying alone).

  • Keeping the tongue moist with the remembrance of Allāh.

  • Starting with the right shoe when putting it on, and the left when taking it off.

Self-Control and Social Responsibility

  • Defining the strong man as one who controls himself during anger.

  • The virtue of removing harmful objects from the road: "is an act of charity for you".

  • The importance of pleasing one's parents, as Allāh's pleasure and anger are tied to theirs.

  • The best people are those who learn the Qur'an and teach it.

  • The merit of being deliberate ("Deliberateness is from Allāh") and avoiding haste ("haste is from Satan").
