Allah made everything
Islamic Studies · Early Years · The School
Look around you
Who made the sky? Allah. Who made the birds, the trees, the rain and the sea? Allah. Who made YOU? Allah. Go outside and point at five things. Say Allah made that for each one. It is a game. It is also the first thing a Muslim knows.
Allah is not like anything we see
We cannot see Allah with our eyes. And Allah is not like anything He made. He is not a person. He is not an animal. He is not a picture. We know Allah by what He tells us about Himself. And we know Him by what He has made. Little children ask this question. This is the honest answer.
Saying thank you
You might see something beautiful. A rainbow. A kitten. A flower. Then you can say SubhanAllah. It means how perfect Allah is. It is what Muslims say when something amazes them. Try it next time you see something that makes you stop and look.
Go outside. Find five things that nobody made. A tree. A cloud. A bird. A stone. The sky. Now find five things that people made. A bench. A bag. A window. A road. A shoe. Everything in the second list came from something in the first. The bench came from a tree. The window came from sand. Say Alhamdulillah for one thing from each list. Now you have noticed where both lists come from.
