Assalamu alaykum (peace be upon you), our dear parents!
As parents, how do you instill good character in your children? Do you scold them if they make mistakes? Do you scream at them if they commit bad deeds? Instilling Islamic values can feel like a daunting task but is essential for their emotional well-being and spiritual growth. One Islamic value that we need them to develop and embody is gratitude. So, how do we instill gratitude in our children?
Children often overlook the blessings they receive and take them for granted. However, here at Nurify Books, you are not alone in your journey to teach your kids Islamic values– especially gratitude. One powerful tool we have at our disposal is through Islamic stories that not only entertain your little ones but also educate and inspire gratitude in them.
How does Islamic Stories cultivate gratitude in your children/
- The Power of Storytelling
Children are easily captivated by stories. It allows them to imagine, be creative, and learn valuable lessons. Islamic stories, for instance, carry tales infused with wisdom, teachings, and values from the Holy Qur-an and Hadith.
- Gratitude in Islamic Stories
Gratitude in Islam is often emphasized. It’s taught to us by our parents, it’s always mentioned in stories, and we, Muslims, demonstrate gratitude in many ways. However, at a young age, teaching children to be thankful can become a bit difficult for parents. It’s a good thing that through stories in Islam, the concept of gratitude is often explored and discussed. One powerful story was the story of Prophet Yusuf (Joseph). Despite facing adversity, Prophet Yusuf remained patient and grateful, ultimately leading to his eventual triumph and reunion with his family. Such stories serve as powerful reminders for children to appreciate the blessings in their own lives, no matter the circumstances.
