Bedtime Stories

Three quiet minutes, every night.

True stories for children aged 5 to 10, told gently: the Companions, the Prophets, the life of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, and the pictures the Qur'an paints. Each one is about three minutes read aloud, ends softly, and comes with two little questions to wonder about together. Free, like everything here.
