Recently, the French Prime Minister announced that women cannot wear hijab in sports. Everyone that my family and I knew all started to drift away and ignore us, not wanting to be seen with us. My dad quit his job because the law firm that he worked for was being unfair to the women in the workspace. My mother and I both wore hijab and were also facing harsh treatment in public, so Dad decided to move to America.

I looked back at Mrs. Park as she took out a paper, my schedule. She handed it to me and explained slowly that instead of taking an elective like everyone else, I would be taking a class called English Second Language, or ESL, to hopefully make me better at English. How nice of them, I thought. InshaAllah, my English will get better.

I walked over to sit down and heard all kinds of nasty comments about my hijab, and also some nice ones about it being unique in a beautiful way. I ignored them all. James had blonde hair, brown eyes, and small, elf-like features. Zahra (I immediately noticed to be a Muslim name) wore a hijab. This made me a little happier that I would not be alone.

A few hours later in Math, I realized that Zahra was in most of my classes. The only difference between us was that she had Math and History at different periods than me. She and I hit it off immediately; instant friends. We found out that we both had similar stories. We had both immigrated and English was not our first language. She used to live in India but had to leave because the Prime Minister said that the hijab is not allowed to be worn in school. Her family started to face harsh treatment too, so they moved to America as well. I also learned that Zahra was really smart and could be really funny if she wanted to.

After a few weeks, I was starting to warm up to my teachers and I discovered that I liked my advisor and my English teachers, Mrs. Park and Mrs. Lee. They were both immigrants (from Korea), so they both understood the hardships of not being a native English speaker. A month later, I learned that Zahra had got into a school writing competition. First prize won a yearbook feature, the story on the school website, and $100!

After submitting her story to the contest, we went to the soccer tryouts to see if I could make the team. I tried out for the goalie position, where other people were making jokes about us, but I ignored them and prayed that I would make the team to prove I can do anything! As a result, I blocked every single goal.

Islam offers different routes to follow in the upbringing of our little bundles of joy, and one of the most amusing routes that can be our best friend in teaching our kids new life lessons is stories.

Simply, because the chances of them listening to our direct and explained orders is next to none, but if we try to teach them the same morals and principles through a story, the narrative will take it upon itself to teach them and have them embody that moral or principle.

Fortunately, the Islamic heritage is full of Islamic moral stories for kids, that are suitable for our kids and will be so much fun as well as educative, for them. So, we thought of letting you know of some of the most amazing Islamic stories in English for your kid:

Once upon a time, there was a man, who was walking in the desert. The sun was blazing, and it was cruelly hot. The man was so exhausted from walking for a long time; as he was searching desperately for some water. He felt like his throat was as hot and dry as the desert around him.

Suddenly, he came across a dog that was gasping in desperation of thirst. The man felt so much pity for the little dog; as he could relate to his suffering. But how can he get him to drink water from the deep well?

Once upon a time in the city of Makkah, there lived a man named Abu Bakr. He was a close companion and a dear friend of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Abu Bakr was known for his kindness, generosity, and compassion.

One day, Abu Bakr was walking through the busy market when he saw a poor old woman struggling to carry a heavy load of groceries. Her face was tired, and her hands trembled under the weight of the bags. Without hesitation, Abu Bakr rushed to her aid.

As they walked together, Abu Bakr learned that the old woman was a widow who lived alone. She had no family to support her, and life had become difficult for her. Abu Bakr felt a deep sense of empathy and compassion for her.

Instead of just helping her with the groceries, Abu Bakr decided to make a positive change in her life. He asked her about her needs and discovered that her house was in need of repair. The roof leaked, and the walls were crumbling.

When the old woman saw the changes, tears of gratitude filled her eyes. She thanked Abu Bakr and prayed for his well-being. Abu Bakr, in his humility, attributed the kindness to the teachings of Islam and the compassionate example set by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Once in the bustling city of Madinah, there lived a young orphan named Abdullah. His parents had passed away, leaving him with no one to care for him. Despite his difficult circumstances, Abdullah was known for his cheerful spirit and warm heart.

One day, while playing in the streets of Madinah, Abdullah caught the attention of Uthman ibn Affan, one of the closest companions of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Uthman was known for his kindness and generosity, and he was deeply moved by the sight of the orphaned boy.

Touched by compassion, Uthman took Abdullah under his wing. He not only became a guardian to the orphan but also treated him as if he were his own son. Uthman provided Abdullah with food, clothing, and a loving home. He ensured that the young boy received an education, teaching him valuable lessons from the Quran and the traditions of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Uthman also owned a beautiful garden in Madinah, known for its lush greenery and fragrant flowers. He would often take Abdullah to the garden, where the young boy found solace and happiness amid the natural beauty.

This heartwarming story illustrates the profound impact of compassion and care, showcasing the beautiful relationship between Uthman ibn Affan and the orphan Abdullah. It serves as a reminder of the importance of looking after the vulnerable in society and living by the noble principles of Islam.

In the vibrant market of Madinah, there lived a man named Abdur Rahman ibn Awf, a companion of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Abdur Rahman was renowned not only for his success as a merchant but, more importantly, for his unwavering honesty and integrity.

One day, as Abdur Rahman was conducting his business, he discovered a pouch containing a considerable amount of gold coins left behind by a forgetful customer. The honest merchant immediately picked up the pouch and, instead of keeping it for himself, set out to find the rightful owner.

Abdur Rahman inquired among the people in the market, describing the lost item in detail. Eventually, he identified the distressed owner, a fellow merchant who had unknowingly dropped the pouch while attending to his goods. The man was astonished and deeply grateful when Abdur Rahman handed him back the lost pouch.

Inspired by the teachings of Islam and motivated by his success, Abdur Rahman embraced a lifestyle of generosity. He became known for his acts of charity and kindness, helping those in need and supporting various community initiatives.

He imagined him to be surrounded by nobles who try so hard to befriend him, servants and maids who run up and down serving him, and tons upon tons of guards, whose job is to make sure he is safe and sound.

The story of the encounter between Salah Ad-Din and the Frankish Boy is a great source to use in teaching your kid about accepting others regardless of their background, and celebrating diversity, while not allowing one to get taken advantage of.

He carried out his plan and screamed loudly that there was a wolf nearby. The village people freaked out with fear for the little boy; their child who was in danger. They ran to the mountain in a rush, but found no wolf, and no danger. The only thing they found was the little boy laughing at them for their naivety of believing he was actually in danger.

Later, the boy felt bored again and decided to pull the same prank on the village once more. Once again, they thought the boy and the sheep were in danger, and rushed to his aid, only to find out it was one of his immature pranks.
