Description
The Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him taught us a lot about how to treat others. One of the important things he said is that you are not a true believer until you want for your brother what you want for yourself. This is something that kids can start learning when they're very young.
Imagine you have a toy that you really love and your friend or brother wants to play with it. You might feel like saying "my toy, not your toy". The story "My toy... Your toy!" from the Manarah Akhlaq series. Arabic Stories. Is about this kind of situation. It is about a kid who has something he loves and someone else wants to share it. The kid has to decide what to do.
The story is honest with the kid. Does not make him feel bad for feeling the way he does. It also does not give him an answer that is not true. Instead it helps him see that sharing can be a thing. The Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him promised that when we share with others it can make us happy.. When we make others happy it can make us even happier.
The story teaches us a lot of things including:
* That we should want things for others just like the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him said
* That sharing is a way to show love for our brothers and sisters in faith
* How to deal with feeling attached to things without being selfish
* The difference between wanting something for ourselves and wanting something for others
* What it means to be a friend and brother to others even when we are young.
The story "My Toy... Your Toy!" is written in Arabic that kids can understand. It also has pictures that show how the kid in the story feels. The story is good for kids who're 4 to 8 years old. It is also good for kids to read in schools, kindergarten programs and, at home with their families.
