In today’s world, many parents are looking for meaningful ways to raise children with strong values, a love for Islam, and respect for others. That’s where the Akhlaqy Series steps in—a powerful collection of Islamic children's books that focus on building character, empathy, and faith through storytelling.

These faith-based storybooks for Muslim kids are more than bedtime tales. Each one is rooted in real-life scenarios your child can relate to, while gently weaving in hadith, Qur’anic values, and lessons from the life of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. If you’ve ever wished for books that speak to your child’s heart while teaching Islamic manners, this series is a must-have.

Let’s dive into some of the most impactful titles in the series and explore how they can enrich your child’s life.

My Toy... Your Toy!

Sharing isn’t always easy—especially between siblings. My Toy... Your Toy! follows Yahya and Ibrahim, two young brothers who face the very real struggle of selfishness during playtime. The story walks children through what happens when we let ego and anger get the best of us, and how sharing, saying sorry, and loving your siblings can transform a tense moment into one of joy.

Parents will love how this book promotes sibling harmony, patience, and emotional growth—all rooted in the hadith, “None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.”

Earn It the Right Way

This book is perfect for school-aged children who are starting to understand pressure, competition, and the temptation to cut corners. When Abdulrahman falls ill before his exams, he faces a moral dilemma: cheat, or trust Allah and his hard work.

Earn It the Right Way teaches your child the importance of honesty, integrity, and trusting Allah with the outcome. It sends a clear message: real success comes with effort, not shortcuts. An ideal read before exam season or whenever your child is navigating personal responsibility.

Around the Table

 Mealtime can be one of the best moments to teach children manners, gratitude, and respect. Around the Table is a story that brings the Sunnah to life at the dinner table. Whether it's saying Bismillah, eating with the right hand, or respecting everyone’s preferences, this story uses a familiar setting to instill beautiful Islamic habits.

If you’re working on table etiquette, patience, or gratitude with your child, this book makes those lessons approachable and fun.

Succeed Together

In a world that often encourages comparison and competition, Succeed Together offers a refreshing reminder of what true success looks like in Islam. Through the story of Moamen and Mahmoud, children learn to cheer for others, overcome jealousy, and find contentment in their own progress.

This is a particularly valuable book for kids in group learning environments or those who struggle with feelings of comparison. It emphasizes cooperation over rivalry and strengthens your child’s spiritual character.

Clean the Unseen

Clean the Unseen is an essential book for teaching personal hygiene and cleanliness in Islam. Children follow Ali, a playful boy who learns that being clean is not just about appearance—it’s part of being a good Muslim.

Rooted in the prophetic principle that “cleanliness is half of faith,” this story offers both practical and spiritual motivation for staying clean. It’s a wonderful resource for parents working on cleanliness routines or helping their kids take responsibility for their own well-being.

The Gift (Part 1) and The Gift (Part 2)

This two-part series teaches the joy of giving without expecting anything in return. In Part 1, the story begins in a classroom setting where students learn how powerful a small act of kindness can be. In Part 2, we follow Ahmed as he takes that lesson to heart and surprises his sister with a gift, simply to make her smile.

These books are especially helpful for teaching generosity, initiative, and emotional intelligence. If your child needs a nudge toward selfless giving, these stories can plant the seed beautifully.

Be Kind to Me

Be Kind to Me introduces children to the concept of compassion for animals—a topic not often covered in Islamic storybooks. Through the experience of Basim and his friends, children learn that mercy should extend beyond people to all living beings.

This book is a must-read if your child loves animals or if you're trying to nurture a sense of responsibility and gentleness in their behavior.

Why the Akhlaqy Series Matters for Muslim Families

 These aren’t just storybooks. They’re tools for building emotional, ethical, and spiritual intelligence in your child. Each book reflects the values of akhlaq (good character)—a central pillar in Islamic parenting. From sharing and generosity to cleanliness and honesty, your child will see how to live Islam in everyday life.

Whether you’re reading these stories at bedtime, as part of homeschooling, or during quiet afternoons, the Akhlaqy series gives you the support to raise compassionate, confident Muslims who understand right from wrong through the lens of the Sunnah.

How to Use These Books at Home

• Make storytime a teaching moment. Pause during the story to ask your child what they would do or how they feel.
• Discuss the hadith or ayah included at the end of each story and connect it to real-life moments.
• Create a reflection journal. Ask your child to draw or write how they applied a lesson during the week.
