Money - A Muslim Kid’s Guide to Getting Wealthy 

“One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.”  -Malala Yousafzai

As my daughter and I were speaking about money during our lock-down, she insisted that other kids must learn about this too. She came up with the idea to share this information in a book. 

This book is a pandemic, maternity lock-down blessing.

Albert Einstein stated that Compounding is the greatest gift to mankind. 

The earlier the kids learn to invest, the greater the return. 

Some ideas to teach kids how to manage their money are:

1. Showing them that things cost money. Let them use their allowance money to make purchases at stores, by physically giving the money to the cashier. 


2. Give allowance. I personally do not believe in giving commissions, which is money for chores. These are normal parts of daily living, you don’t get rewarded for folding your own clothes or washing the dishes. 


3. Emphasize giving. A small portion of our savings does not belong to us, it belongs to those in need. 


4. Use Jars for saving, spending, and sharing. Letting them develop smart habits from the beginning. 


5. Have a family budget meeting. 


6. Let them think about different ways of making money. And teach them to start retirement accounts early (the magic of compounding).

We are grateful for the positive response, please tune into our conversation on creating this book.
