Zaynab and the Ten-Dollar Miracle | Muslim Kids Podcast

Zaynab has spent three months saving up for a pair of lavender roller skates, and she's finally getting close to her $120 goal!

But when Mama asks her to donate some of her savings to help families in need, Zaynab isn't exactly eager to part with her hard-earned money.

Until Baba shares something interesting from the Quran.

Allah rewards our good deeds tenfold.

And Zaynab starts doing some math.

If she donates $10, that means she'll get $100 back, right?

Suddenly, giving sadaqah sounds like a pretty good deal!

So Zaynab donates her $10 and starts waiting for her reward.

She checks her savings jar, the mailbox, and even wonders whether her money might arrive by e-transfer.

But ten days later, there's still no sign of her hundred dollars.

And Zaynab wants to know where her money is!

In this week's adventure for Financial Literacy Month, Zaynab learns what Islam teaches us about sadaqah, the meaning of rizq, and why Allah's rewards aren't always something we can count in dollars.

It's a funny introduction to generosity, gratitude, and understanding the blessings Allah gives us, for Muslim kids ages 7–12. All thanks to a Quranic verse taken a little too literally, a pair of roller skates, and one very impatient Zaynab!

Ahmed and the Million-Dollar Wishlist | Muslim Kids Podcast

Ahmed has put together a shopping list, and he's convinced his parents that everything on it is absolutely essential.

From a new Liverpool kit to an electric scooter, he's got some pretty expensive plans for the weekend.

There's just one problem.

His wishlist adds up to $755. Before tax!

And Ahmed doesn't have $755.

His solution? Papa can just use his credit card!

But when Mama helps Ahmed figure out how much everything actually costs, he realizes he might need to earn some money of his own.

With the help of his uncle, Ahmed lands his first job cleaning cars, hires his little brother as an assistant, and starts a business that becomes surprisingly busy!

But after weeks of hard work, something unexpected happens.

Ahmed finally has enough money to buy what he wants, but now he's not so sure he wants to spend it.

In our first adventure for Financial Literacy Month, Ahmed learns about earning money, understanding its value, and making thoughtful decisions about spending, saving, and giving.

It's a fun introduction to financial literacy for Muslim kids ages 7–12, with a little help from an Excel spreadsheet, a very demanding little brother, and some extremely sticky cup holders!

The Other Ahmed | Muslim Kids Podcast

A Lebanese flag. A piece of fur. An old map of Canada. And... an orange?!

When Ahmed's teacher brings a mysterious trunk into the classroom for Islamic Heritage Month, nobody can figure out what these objects have in common.

Until Ahmed discovers an old document with two names: Ahmad Ali Ferran and Peter Baker.

Wait. How can one person have two completely different names?

With the help of a special guest, Ahmed travels more than 100 years into the past to uncover the remarkable story of a Muslim immigrant from Lebanon who built a life in Canada's North and eventually made Canadian political history.

In this episode, Ahmed discovers a fascinating chapter of Canadian Muslim history and learns how Muslim pioneers helped shape the communities we call home.

🎙️ Featuring Hassam Munir

We're delighted to welcome Hassam Munir, historian and researcher of Islamic history at Yaqeen Institute, to Ahmed's final adventure for Islamic Heritage Month!

Hassam introduces Ahmed to the story of Ahmad Ali Ferran, better known as Peter Baker, and takes our young listeners on a time-travelling adventure through the life of one of Canada's early Muslim pioneers.

We hope this episode inspires families around the world to discover the stories of Muslim pioneers in their own countries, too!

Too Much Zaynab | Muslim Kids Podcast

Too loud. Too distracted. Too talkative. Too Muslim.

Zaynab has heard a lot of “too much” lately.

And after a particularly difficult day, she starts to wonder:

What if I'm not just doing too much? What if I AM too much?

But a chance discovery of a children's book called Too Much Tehmina leads Zaynab to an unexpected opportunity: meeting the author herself!

In this episode, Zaynab explores the difference between managing our behaviour and changing who we are, and why the qualities that make us different aren't necessarily things we need to change.

🎙️ Featuring Zehra Kamani

We're delighted to welcome Zehra Kamani, Canadian writer and children's book author, to Zaynab's adventure for Islamic Heritage Month!

With a background in pediatric health research and writing featured in CBC, Today's Parent, and Toronto Life, Zehra brings her experiences as both a writer and mother to this week's story.

Ahmed vs. The Bad News | Muslim Kids Podcast

Bad news travels fast.

Someone gets in trouble at school. Two friends have an argument. Something embarrassing happens, and suddenly everyone knows about it.

But Ahmed has a question:

Why does bad news get so much attention when good things are happening all around us?

After meeting award-winning journalist Muhammad Lila at a charity event, Ahmed becomes fascinated with the world of news reporting.

But when Muhammad challenges him to find ten pieces of good news in just 24 hours, Ahmed discovers something he never expected.

Maybe the most important stories aren't always the biggest ones.

In this episode, Ahmed learns why bad news captures our attention, how storytelling can change the way we see the world, and how even the smallest acts of kindness can inspire something much bigger.

🎙️ Featuring Muhammad Lila

We're honoured to welcome Muhammad Lila, award-winning journalist, former CNN and ABC News correspondent, and founder of Goodable, into Ahmed's story for Islamic Heritage Month.

Muhammad helps Ahmed understand why our brains pay attention to negative news, why positive stories matter, and how telling a good story can inspire others to do good.

After years of reporting on some of the world's most difficult events, Muhammad founded Goodable, a platform dedicated to sharing positive and uplifting news from around the world.

The Main Character Crisis | Muslim Kids Podcast

Zaynab loves her hijab. But lately, she’s tired of feeling like it’s the first thing everyone notices about her.

The questions. The jokes. The assumptions.

And when she hears another student ask, “Does she even have a choice?” it gets to her.

Because deep down, Zaynab does want to wear hijab.

She just wants people to stop making her feel strange for wearing it.

For the first time, she starts wondering if school would be easier if she just took it off.

In this episode, Zaynab navigates Islamophobia at school and what happens when other people’s assumptions start making you question something you were once sure about. 

🎙️ Featuring Amira Elghawaby

We’re honoured to welcome Amira Elghawaby, journalist, human rights advocate and former Special Representative on Combatting Islamophobia, into Zaynab’s story.

Amira helps Zaynab and her classmates understand what Islamophobia can look like in everyday life, why seemingly small comments matter, and what kids can do when they see it happening. Pasted markdown(1)

Ahmed has been counting down the days until his family's journey to Karbala to commemorate Ashura. As he walks alongside millions of pilgrims and visits the holy shrines, he begins asking questions about Imam Hussain (AS) and what really happened on the plains of Karbala.

Through heartfelt conversations with his family and the experiences of his journey, Ahmed discovers the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering faith of Imam Hussain (AS) and his companions.

As Mama tells him about the people of Kufa who broke their promises to Imam Hussain (as), and how Bibi Zaynab (sa) later reminded them of the weight of their words, Ahmed begins to realize that our promises don't stop mattering when they're inconvenient.
