- This is a board book pack for little kids inspired by the following ahadith:

The Prophet (ﷺ) was asked: ‘What most admits people to Paradise?’ He said: ‘Piety and good manners.’ …[Sunan Ibn Majah 4246]

Teaching Islamic manners to young children is a fundamental aspect of raising them to become good Muslims. Remember, first comes Ta’deeb (manners) and then ta’leem (education). In Islam, manners (aadaab) are not merely for social acceptance in this dunya but an integral part of our life after this dunya. Instilling these values from an early age lays a strong foundation for a child’s spiritual and moral development.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Nothing will be heavier on the Day of Resurrection in the Scale of the believer than good manners…” [Riyad as-Salihin 625]

Teaching children good manners is not only about ensuring they behave appropriately but also about helping them develop a strong connection with Allah – doing good for His sake instead of doing it for worldly gains. This helps maintain their authenticity – which is crucial for a strong self-identity as a Muslim.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The most perfect believer in respect of faith is he who is best of them in manners.” [Sunan Abi Dawud 4682]

Through role modeling, storytelling, interactive learning, positive reinforcement, and consistent reminders, these values can be instilled effectively. As these young individuals grow, the manners taught in their early years will guide their actions and interactions, helping them lead lives that are pleasing to Allah and beneficial to themselves and their communities.
