✓ All five stars are lit
The Big Sentence
The whole religion fits in one breath
Every Muslim in the world, every grandmother in Makkah, every kid in Canada, agrees on one sentence. It is the first thing whispered to babies and the password of the whole ummah:
لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ
La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammadun rasul AllahThere is no god but Allah, and Muhammad ﷺ is His Messenger.
Ask a grown-up to read it with you.
That's it. That's the key to the whole house. If you can say it and mean it, you're in the family.
Build the Big Sentence: tap the words in the right order.
Tap the first word!Yes! Now the next word.Not that one. Listen, then try again!You built the Big Sentence!
Say it slowly, and mean it, and you are in the family.
Build the sentence first, then your star is ready!
Wudu, Getting Sparkly
Before we pray, we wash, like getting ready to meet Someone important. Because we are.
Ask a grown-up to read it with you.
Seven steps, and now you are ready to stand in front of Allah.
Wudu is not a race. Water is precious: the Prophet ﷺ used only a little, even beside a river.
Finish all seven steps first, then your star is ready!
The Five Prayers and Their Skies
Each prayer has its own sky. Look at the window and you will always know which one it is.
Which prayer is it? Look at the sky, then tap the prayer.
Ask a grown-up to read it with you.
إِنَّنِي أَنَا اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا أَنَا فَاعْبُدْنِي وَأَقِمِ الصَّلَاةَ لِذِكْرِي
"I am Allah: there is no god but Me, so worship Me, and keep up the prayer to remember Me."
Qur'an 20:14
The recitation needs the internet. Ask a grown-up to read it with you.
Each ★ is one rak'ah: a round of standing, bowing, and touching your forehead to the floor, the closest place to Allah you can be! Learn them slowly, one prayer at a time.
Find all five prayers first, then your star is ready!
Little Golden Words
Tiny sentences that turn ordinary moments into treasure
When do we say it? Look at the moment, then tap the golden words.
Ask a grown-up to read it with you.
Say them every day, and every day becomes treasure.
Match all five moments first, then your star is ready!
The Secret Level: Kindness
Worship is not only on the prayer mat
The Prophet ﷺ taught that smiling at someone is charity (Tirmidhi 1956), that Allah loves gentle hands, and that the best Muslims are the best to their families. Every kind thing you do is weighed on your scale.
Kind or not kind? Tap the right answer and fill your scale.
Every one of these counts. That is the secret level most grown-ups forget.
Sort all the cards first, then your star is ready!
For parents · the minimum & the reasonable maximum
The floor: children are invited to pray from around seven and expected to keep the habit from around ten (Abu Dawud 495 · hasan), but accountability before Allah begins only at maturity. Before then, everything is practice, and practice is meant to be praised, not policed.
The reasonable ceiling: a child who loves five short prayers will outgrow a child who was forced through fifty. Add Qur'an in verses, fasting in half-days, and let them see you loving it. The sunnah of teaching is patience: "Allah is gentle and loves gentleness in all things" (Bukhari 6927).
The Big Codex has the whole story when they're ready: the Path · the Mushaf · the 25 Prophets.
