Every Good Thing

£21.00 GBP

How much good can fit inside one ordinary day?

A Qur'an-inspired picture book about noticing what was there all along.

Inspired by Surah Ar-Rahman · Ages 3–7 · Hardback edition

Read Every Good Thing

Amira wakes with sunlight on her face.

Before bedtime she will encounter cool grass, a ripe fig, water, bread, honey and the moon outside her window.

Nothing extraordinary happens.

That is rather the point.

Again and again, the story asks Amira one question:
Which one would you thank Him for first?

By the end of the day, gratitude has become less about being reminded to say thank you and more about learning to notice how much there was to thank Allah for in the first place.

Inspired by Surah Ar-Rahman, Every Good Thing introduces young children to the name Ar-Rahman through a day they can recognise as their own.

The fig tree was laden with soft fruit, so heavy the branches bent. She picked one, and it was sweet. “The figs are a gift too,” said Mama.

Every Good Thing · Surah Ar Rahman

We did not want to hand a child the word gratitude and hope it stuck. So she gets a fig instead, off a branch bending under the weight of it, something she can hold and taste and thank Him for.

The word can come later. The feeling has to come first.

Baba kneeling in the soil beside Yusuf at the new shoot
Baba knelt beside him. “You planted it,” he said. “But Allah grew it. That is how every good thing works.”

Yusuf thought about that. He had done a small thing, and Allah had done the big one.

Who Makes It Grow? · Surah Al Waqiah

This is the spread we rewrote the most. Yusuf’s part had to remain real: he did plant it. And the growing had to remain something he could never do for himself. Both truths sit in one breath, so effort and trust never end up on opposite sides.

Then we stopped. No “because”. No “therefore”. No moral added afterwards. The moment had already said enough.

Rutab Books studies how young children learn, looks to the Quran and Prophetic example for guidance, and designs stories that help children notice the signs of Allah in everyday life.
