But, by the grace of Allah (SWT), most of us have the means to break our fast, tasting the sweetness of water at sunset.

Even if an animal is subservient to us, it still means we need to treat it with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003efairness.

Allah (SWT) tells us that He created death and life as a test to see who is the best in deeds (67:2). We must try to perform the best of deeds such that we become good human beings in the eyes of God, before our time on earth is up. Good deeds are like bricks, which we can use to build our house in paradise, our ultimate destination, insha’Allah.

In Islam, Allah (SWT) and the prophets taught that we are not individuals alone, but part of a greater nation, an ummah, united by its belief in Islam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen united within the ummah of Islam, we gain a sense of belonging and strength. However, this idea of strength in unity extends beyond the Muslim ummah as well. In our daily life, uniting with others toward a greater goal is a powerful force. In our first story, “Play Together, Stay Together,\" we show this by highlighting the importance of teamwork during a high-stakes soccer game between the Northport Sailors and the Red Dragons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Islam, we are constantly taught to think of others, not just ourselves. When we recite Surah Al-Fatihah in our prayers, we are not just supplicating for ourselves, but rather using the collective ‘we’ in our du’a. Prophet Mohammed (SAW) said, “The believers in their mutual kindness, compassion, and sympathy are like one body. When one of the limbs hurts, the whole body reacts with  wakefulness and fever.” We must look past our own interests and look to the needs of everyone else. Only then can we come together as a community, motivated towards action. In our second story, “Unity in Community,” Amira visits Masjid al-Muslimeen and sees that it is within her hands and, in fact, her responsibility, to help her fellow community members. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Noor Kids","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":956805873678,"sku":"B-AB-027-001-xxx","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/0617\/files\/BookCover_GettingAlongforGood.jpg?v=1736526374"},{"product_id":"the-dark-whisperer","title":"28.

Self-discipline is important because it brings stability and structure to one’s life, enabling a person to achieve better results. As Prophet Mohammed (SAW) said, “The deeds most loved by God (are those) done regularly, even if they are few” (Bukhari, Muslim 783). When a person practices discipline, they are able to control their impulsive behaviors and their desire for instant gratification.

Though experiencing strong emotions is normal and natural, responding in a poor manner typically leads to harm for one’s self and others. Practicing self-control is a struggle, even for adults. However, our duty is to raise children with an understanding that experiencing emotions such as frustration, embarrassment, or anger can be channeled in a constructive way. As our faith teaches us, “The strong man is not one who is good at wrestling, but the strong man is one who controls himself in a fit of rage” (Bukhari, Muslim).

First, we focus on the importance of spending quality time with family members. In the hustle and bustle of our lives, sometimes we don’t fulfill our duties toward our family members. We might be distracted due to the interruptions of technology. We might be short with our loved ones instead of attending to their needs. We might even put off things they ask of us because we prioritize ourselves or others over them. As parents, we must role model positive behavior with our families and invest care into these relationships so that children understand their importance. In our first story, “Mayor-ly Busy,” Asad’s dad is working on a special project, but it is only when he is neglected by his boss that he realizes that he too must prioritize and give time to those who are important in his life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOur second lesson focuses on the importance of showing kindness to our relatives. Allah (SWT) tells us that family ties are ones that must be joined and protected. Preserving relationships with kin has a great influence on our own well-being, our contribution to the world, and the relationships we have with others. Studies have shown that children that grow up in a household with a nurturing family have better grades, less stress, higher self-esteem and confidence, healthier physical bodies, and are more likely to accomplish their life goals.

A neighbor is not just the person who lives next door to us, but can include those who live up to forty houses in all directions. In this book, we highlight two key lessons about developing and maintaining good relationships with our neighbors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst, we are encouraged to be kind and considerate to our neighbors, regardless of whether they are Muslim or not, and even if they are not nice to us. We may encounter unfriendly neighbors or those who discriminate against us due to misconceptions they may have about Islam or Muslims. Even in these trials, we are reminded by Prophet Mohammed’s (SAW) example to be patient and steadfast. Persevering in our practice of being a good neighbor is a noble trait, and Allah (SWT) promises its reward in this world and in the hereafter. In our first story, “A New Neighbor,” Amira learns this lesson when Zaid moves in next door and doesn’t treat her nicely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecond, Allah (SWT) holds us accountable to interact with and serve our neighbors in a gentle way that reflects the true and genuine spirit of Islam. In doing so, it promotes a positive relationship and fosters a sense of community. We must also care for our neighbors as they have rights on us. Therefore, we should visit them when they are sick, be supportive in their hardships, and look out for their property and belongings. We should be considerate of our neighbors when we go about our everyday lives, and we hope that they respond with the same kindness, inshaAllah. Our second story, “Not in My Neighborhood,” illustrates this lesson when Asad must choose whether or not he will stand up for and help Mr. DeSousa, a new shop-owner in Maple Grove.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeing a good neighbor is being a good Muslim.

In fact, whether we realize it or not, there are many promises we make throughout the day. When we make a promise, especially to our children, it is highly important that we see it through.

More importantly, it teaches children that it is okay to do the same.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut did you know that keeping promises is also an Islamic duty?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book, we teach the importance of being honest with our words. Islam strongly encourages us to be honorable people by keeping our promises. It is strongly disliked by Allah (SWT) when one makes a promise loosely, and\/or with intentions of breaking it. We are instructed, “Fulfill the covenant of Allah when you have taken it, and do not break oaths after their confirmation while you have made Allah a witness over you. Verily, Allah knows what you do” (Qur’an 16:91). Breaking promises to others makes one untrustworthy and lets people down. Moreover, breaking promises to Allah (SWT) can also become a sin as it places one under the category of a hypocrite (munāfiq).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur first lesson shows that good relationships are based on trust and honesty.

In the story, “A Promise to Keep,” Shireen and Amira are excited about their joint castle project for school.
