Tawheed for kids: The Story of Young Ibrahim (AS)
🌙 Why Start with the Story of Prophet Ibrahim (AS)?
Tawheed—the belief in One God—is the heart of Islam. It’s the first and most important lesson we can Tawheed for kids. And one of the best ways to introduce it is through the inspiring story of young Prophet Ibrahim (AS). His journey wasn’t just about faith—it began with questions, observations, and discovery. Kids today often ask similar things:
“Who made the moon?”
“Can stars hear us?”
This makes the story of Ibrahim (AS) the perfect way to help children (ages 5–10) understand who Allah is and what makes Him different from His creation.
Let’s explore how to bring this powerful story to life at home or in your classroom.
🔭 The Journey of Tawheed: Ibrahim’s (AS) Big Questions
As a child, Ibrahim (AS) watched the people around him worship idols. But he felt something wasn’t right.
He turned to the sky and thought:
✨ “Maybe the star is my lord!” – But the star faded away.
🌙 “Maybe the moon is my lord!” – But the moon also disappeared.
☀️ “What about the sun?” – It was bright and strong… but it set too.
Then he realized:
“I do not love those that disappear.”
(Surah Al-An’am, 6:76–79)
Only Allah never disappears. He is always there, guiding and protecting.
🎨 Activity 1: Storyboard Adventure
Kids remember stories better when they can see them.
Turn Ibrahim’s journey into a comic strip or storyboard!
🖍 How to do it:
- Print or create scenes showing Ibrahim looking at the stars, moon, and sun.
- Let kids draw or color each scene.
- Ask questions like:
“Why do you think he changed his mind?”
“What did he learn in the end?”
📌 This visual storytelling helps children connect deeply with the meaning of Tawheed.

🌙 Activity 3: Bedtime Reflection Prompts
Use bedtime as a special moment to talk about Allah and faith.
Try these gentle prompts:
- “Why do you think Ibrahim (AS) looked at the stars?”
- “What would you say if someone said the moon is god?”

Over time, they help build love, trust, and understanding of Tawheed.
