Here is an illustrated essay by Ibrahim age 13 from Sialkot.

Ibrahim has drawn his beautiful heart with golden seeds of TRUE IDEAS growing inside it, these seeds grow into seedlings, then into beautiful plants and finally into a tree with firm roots and branches with wonderful fruits of all kinds growing on them, that we can not only eat ourselves but also share. But as the seedlings (the true ideas) are growing, they get attacked by weeds growing around/outside of his beautiful heart, they can (and sometimes do, temporarily) harm the seedlings, weeds like:
anger, gossip, lying, laziness, being mean and wasting time. Unless/until you remove the weeds the seeds cannot grow properly into a huge and beautiful tree, with strong branches and fruits of all kinds growing on them.

 

 


Here is an illustrated essay by Zainab age 10 from Sialkot.

Zainab made her beautiful shiny heart, with flowers growing out of it, the flowers represent  all the good ideas that comes out of her spiritual heart- all the good that comes from her good ideas and good deeds. Further more those good ideas and good deeds spread to other people’s hearts, which is shown by the small cut out hearts around her own big heart.
