🌟Reaching for Rewards🎁

"And among men is he who sells himself to seek the pleasure of Allah; and Allah is Affectionate to the servants."

- 2 : 207, The Noble Quran

Hope you all lovely readers 😊 are doing amazing by the will of Allah ﷻ. Well.. thanks to Instagram & Facebook it's become pretty easy for us to come across absolutely amazing & creative people & pages that inspire so much goodness around 😌 Alhumdulilah. And... it so happened that I stumbled across one such account on IG sometime back called the MuslimStickers 😉.

For someone like me, who's always on the lookout for cute Islam-i-fide things, to find their page was a treat 🍭. They happen to be a UK-based company that offers adorable Islamic stuff for kids from toys, books, sweets, stickers & much more 🎉 worldwide. Loading this post with pictures of some of their charming stuff 😍..

Besides enjoying their cute & motivational IG & Blog posts 😊, I've been quite liking their concept of Islamic Behaviour Charts for kids💭. Even though these charts are targeted towards children the approach behind them is something so naturally essential to mankind, I feel 🙄.

The MuslimStickers describes 📝 the idea behind these charts in simple words as people will do difficult things if they know that they will receive a reward. Anyone who has woken up on a Monday morning looked longingly at his or her comfy bed, and still gone to work proves this point. You go to work because you know that there is a reward—a salary—and that if you do not go to work, you will not receive the reward. ❤

"Surely (as for) those who believe and do good deeds, their place of entertainment shall be the gardens of paradise,"

- 18 : 107, The Noble Quran

Indeed the Creator 👑 knows best about His creation. Human beings will work towards achieving some sort of a reward 🎁 either in this world or of the hereafter & indeed the latter is much better thus it's no wonder that Allah ﷻ Himself have made sure to give us ample motivation by describing His greatest reward for us i.e Paradise 🍇 at length for all the good we do in this life. And vice versa by describing His punishment 🔥 i.e Hell so we may refrain ourselves from sinning.

"They shall have a bed of hell-fire and from above them coverings (of it); and thus do We reward the unjust."

- 7 : 41, The Noble Quran

It's in human nature to quest for rewards & the MuslimSticker's charts 📑 work just along these lines in order to instill good behavior & morals in children by rewarding them for each lil act of goodness 💖. Be you a parent or not a parent yet, it is always pleasing to have kids around us that have good manners & conduct from a very tender age 😌. Think of it this way.. by inculcating a virtuous demeanor in children we increase their chances of growing up into obedient righteous adults with excellent character🌟. In'shaa'Allah

Children learn about what actions are acceptable and not acceptable based on their consequences of them. If you want your child to do a particular behaviour more often: a reward will help!

Here's their blog post link 📲 on how one can effectively use these behaviour charts with kids. Parents, teachers, siblings, grand parents, uncles or an aunt like me 😉.. anyone can try these charts with kids around them. It surely sounds fun & will In'shaa'Allah help strengthen that affectionate bond 💞 between you & the kids.

And as adults, we too can apply this concept in our lives & benefit much In'shaa'Allah. 💭Thinking of the consequence i.e reward or punishment of an action we wish to undertake will help us to become encouraged ↗ or discouraged ↘ to take that particular action. And gradually we will end up adapting the good deeds that lead to reward & eliminating the bad deeds that lead to punishment 😊 Bi'idhnillah.

Having righteous kids ✔ is undeniably one of the most amazing blessings 🎉 of Allah ﷻ & a source of forgiveness & on going good deeds so we must pray & work hard on making our kids the best version of themselves in this world & in the Akhirah by the help of Allah ﷻ 😊.
