[Sister Kamillah]

asalamu alaikum,

show her Allah's creation and tell her that Allahs has created many beautiful things.

To Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth, He creates what He Wills (Qur'aan 42:49)

The creation of the universe testifies to Allah’s magnificent Power and Ability, and His immense Strength and Might.

And in the veering of the winds and the clouds which are held between the sky and the earth are indeed signs for people of understanding (Qur’aan 2:164)

May Allah guide your little friend to Islam. Show her the signs and tell her Allah created the heaven and the earth and everything in them. Tell her about the creation of the earth and tell her the story of man (adam story). This is a beginning. work on the very beginning tauhid.

Assalamu'alaykum
MashAllah!!! What a nice thing to do.
I agree tell her that it is all the little things we have eg. food, water and also the nature that was created by Allah subhanahuwa ta'ala. Also you can use the arabic expressions, mashAllah, subhanAllah whenever you see somthing beautiful to let her know that we thank Allah subhanhuwa ta'ala for everything we have  

As you probably also think I don't think you should begin to ask / discuss how the universe was created... it is just too far away for a little one. Tell her of the everyday life and things she can relate to

Salaam Aliekum!

I agree take her out in the nature and explain that Allah (swt) have make that.If she is confused if that is a God or not then you can let her begin to think.You can say for example:Do you know how have make your doll?The doll haven`t come from nothing.Somebody that is intelligent have make the doll.Same as it with this flower.How do you think that can be? etc etc

As salam alaikum

This is a topic that, as a teacher, we have to cover as part of 'spiritual development' in school.  
I agree with what the other sisters have said. Looking at the beautiful world around you, thinking of everyday things really helps a child to understand a bit that there is a God who created everything.
Something that we did in school was that we sent all the children out in the playground to pick up a leaf. When they were back in the classroom we asked them to look very closely at their leaf and remember specific details about it.
Then they all put their leaves into a box and we shuffled them about. They then had to come back and find their original leaf. It worked very well as each leaf was so different...and we then discussed how this is the same for people, every single person is different. How is this? How come we are all different?

I hope that this little girl can start to see the wonders of Allah and how much He has given us. You are very priviledged to be given this opportunity to share this with her. Good luck with everything sister. Let us know how you get on.
Love
Amalia

As Salaamu Alaikum wa rahmatu ALlahi wa barakaatu,

Yes start with tauheed, take some examples from Quraan. Look at his creation. How does night go into day and day into night. How intricate the creation of the human being, with all of  our body parts, inside and out. I forgot who said this but someone asked How is there a God and you cant see Him? The person replied, think about it.. can you see your mind? How do you know its there? lolll
