We Know How to Share – Learning Hadith Through Stories
Zeynep ile Tarık9 minages 3-8
This story teaches generosity, sharing what we have with those in need, and living by the hadith that giving is better than receiving.
What the tale is about
When autumn arrives, Zeynep and Tarık draw a hadith from their family’s Hadith Box: “The giving hand is better than the receiving hand.” Zeynep puts its lesson into practice by sharing her leaves with Nilay, who forgot to collect some for class. Tarık learns that a faraway sister school needs books, clothes, and school supplies, so he and Zeynep donate favorite books and join their families and classmates in preparing gifts. A grateful letter and photograph bring joy to everyone. As Zeynep continues sharing, she receives a “Sharing Hero” crown and proudly shares it with Tarık.
