This lyrical lullaby about a bunny who says goodnight to all the things in his room reminds children to be grateful for all the small things that make their house a home. From the picture on his wall, to his bedtime snack, to the comb and brush on his bedside table, the bunny, by saying goodnight to them, is noticing his blessings of food, shelter, loving care, and the small comforts of home. Allah ﷻ reminds us in the Quran, “He has granted you all that you asked Him for. If you tried to count Allah’s ﷻ blessings, you would never be able to number them. Indeed humankind is truly unfair, ˹totally˺ ungrateful.”(14:34). Building a habit of gratitude at a very young age, even in the simple act of saying good night to one’s blessings, protects a child’s heart from arrogance and heedlessness and brings him closer to his Lord.
