Quranic Stories for Kids are the dreams our kids willingly experience in their waking, the words that shape the worlds of their imagination, the gates that introduce them to massive worlds beyond their small world, and the keys towards full lives of reading.

Bedtime stories are words woven with emotions, filled with hidden lessons, and met with our children’s surprised gasps, and eagerly curious questions.

While food is the nutrition of their bodies, our love for them is the nutrition of their hearts, and Islam is the nutrition of their souls from the moment of their birth.

The Islamic stories from the Quran for kids:

There are many Islamic stories from the Quran for kids out there in the libraries and on the internet; as those in charge of the Islamic education of our kids understand the value of turning the historical incidents narrated in the Quran into stories suitable to their intellectual capacity.

Since our kids’ hearts grow with the Quran, the best way to introduce them to the Quran is through its many stories. These Quranic stories are a suitable source of Quranic lessons that have the cloak of entertainment on.

As a parent, we must choose the stories that are suitable to our little ones, and make sure not to confuse them with topics beyond their intellectual absorption, or shock them with violent descriptions of divine punishments.

The events that belong to these categories will not add any value to them, but will only scare them; because unlike us adults, they don’t understand its necessity or the divine wisdom that led to them.

There are many interesting moral stories for kids in the Quran, and today we will give you a list of our favorite stories of the Quran that are suitable for kids.

The story of Adam and Hawaa for kids in the Quran:

The story of Adam and Hawaa is basically the Islamic creation story, which makes it the most important story in Islam.

“Allah has created both Adam and Hawaa from clay and permitted them to live in heaven, and enjoy it as they want. They had so much delicious food, and big palaces, with huge beautiful gardens. There were many cool animals and birds, and the trees had so many amazing fruits. It was never too cold, nor too hot, but the weather was always to their liking. They were never bored, sad, or angry in heaven.

Adam and Hawaa were living happily, and one day Allah told them that they were forbidden from eating the apples of a certain apple tree, and they promised to obey their almighty creator, but the devil knew of this agreement.

So, he went to Adam and Hawaa and whispered evilly in their ears, tempting them to eat from that one tree that Allah had ordered them to avoid. Adam and Hawaa fell to their tricks and ate apples from the tree.

Later on, when they stood before Allah, remorseful and full of regret, Allah gave them a second chance, and told them that they would go to earth with two tasks: worship him properly, and build the earth, if they obey Allah, he will grant them the permission to live in heaven for eternity once again.”

While narrating the Islamic story to your kid, make sure to discuss with them how Allah’s reaction to the sin means there’s always another chance for sinners to repent. It would also be wise to talk to them about what human beings are on earth for, and how we should spend our lives.

The story of Moosa’s birth and childhood for kids in the Quran:

Through the story of Moosa’s birth and childhood, your child will benefit a lot; as it teaches him about a mother’s innate love for her children, and to always have trust in Allah, and obey him regardless of the worldly risks.

“Once upon a day, in a land, there was a cruel and oppressive ruler who was called Pharaon (Pharaoh), and he had a dream that a male child would one day end his reign; so, he ordered that all the male babies who are born in a certain year get killed. Such an unbelievably horrifying order!

Everyone was freaking out, and all the mothers were extremely scared for their unborn children, wondering what would come of their little children. Among these women was Moosa’s mother. Her heart was full of love for her baby boy, fear for what awaits them, and sadness over what type of world they live in.

Allah inspired her to make a wooden chest and hide her newborn baby in it, and cast the chest in the river. Knowing how scared and sad she would be over departing with Moosa, Allah inspired her that Allah would bring them back together.

Allah inspired Moosa’s older sister; Mariem to go after the wooden chest and see what happens to it. And guess what? The wooden chest ended up at Pharaon’s palace’s gates!

Pharaon’s wife, Asya didn’t have male children and decided to take him as her son. The boy was so hungry, yet refused to be fed by anyone, and no matter how hard they tried, he wouldn’t get breastfed by any women.

His sister, Mariem learned of that and took it upon herself to offer to get them a woman who could breastfeed him, and actually suggested Moosa’s mother, but they didn’t know that this woman who was feeding him, and staying by his side, tending to them with the utmost love and care was actually his mother.

Finally, Allah’s promise to Moosa’s mother came true; her boy was safe, and she was once again by his side.”

The story of Moosa and Al-Khidr for kids in the Quran:

“The story of Moosa and Al-Khidr starts when Allah inspired Moosa that a man where the rivers meet is knowledgeable. When they met, Moosa asked Al-Khidr to teach him.

Al-Khidr warned Moosa that he wouldn’t be able to have the patience required in their journey, but Moosa insisted that he would practice his highest levels of patience.

Then, Al-Khidr told Moosa of his only rule: to not ask about anything, and wait patiently for Al-Khidr to give him the answer for his unasked questions.

First, they sailed in a boat and came across a ship, and Al-Khidr damaged the ship. So, Moosa disapprovingly asked why he would do that. Al-Khidr reminded Moosa of their agreement, and Moosa apologized.

Second, in a village, Al-Khidr killed a little boy; so, Moosa disapprovingly asked him about the reason once more, and again Al-Khidr reminded him of their agreement, and Moosa apologized again.

Third, they arrived at a village, whose people refused to offer them any food. Al-Khidr decided to build up a wall that is about to crumble and fall down. So, Moosa asked him why he did that and advised him to ask to be paid for building it up.

This time, Al-Khidr didn’t forgive Moosa, and told him that he would not be his companion anymore. So, he decided to tell him the reason behind his actions.

In the first incident, there was an oppressive king who would steal all good ships; so when he damaged it, he protected it from being robbed. In the second incident, Al-Khidr told Moosa that the boy was corrupted at heart; so, Allah wanted to replace him with a good child for his kind parents.

In the last incident, the wall belonged to two orphan boys, and underneath it was their treasure; so, in order to protect it until they grow up and become able to use it properly, he needed to build up the wall.”

When you tell this story to your kid, make sure to introduce them to the concept of the inevitable goodness in all Allah’s fates, and the importance of patience during times of crisis.

The story of Suleiman and the ants for kids in the Quran:

The story of the interaction between Suleiman and the ants is one of the most beautiful stories in the Quran for kids; as it records how Allah intends for us to live alongside the rest of the creatures, which reflects how we - human beings - are supposed to treat each other, according to the teachings of Islam.

“Allah has granted his prophet - Suleiman - the ability to speak to animals and birds, and no one else on this earth has ever been blessed with such a unique ability.

One day, Suleiman was out with his huge army, and everyone was marching forward with strength, persistence, and determination to achieve their mission.

While they were moving, they were about to come across a village of ants. An ant; a very smart, kind, and brave ant saw them and noticed that they were about to crush the little ants with their enormous feet.

She looked at her family and friends, and noticed that they weren’t aware of the danger; as they were concentrating on their work, and paying attention only to it.

So, she screamed at them to be wary of Suleiman and his army, lest they crush them without noticing. The wise Suleiman heard the smart ant, and ordered his army to take a different route; so that they don’t disturb or hurt the little ants, who are working so hard.”

The story of Ashab Al-Kahf for kids in the Quran:

The story of Ashab Al-Kahf is a story in the Quran that speaks of a miracle experienced by a group of believers. The term “Ashab Al-Kahf” means “the companions of the cave”.

“In a foreign land lived a group of believers, who worshiped Allah sincerely, but their king didn’t believe in Allah and wanted to force everyone to worship the false idols he took as gods.

Of course, the group of believers in Allah wouldn’t comply and started to resist. The bad ruler didn’t let them go and made his soldiers and guards chase them.

What did he want with them? We don’t know for sure, but we can speculate that he would probably try various methods of cruel persuasion to make them abandon their beliefs and adopt his idols as gods as well.

So, the group of believers and their dog escaped, and hid in a cave, in an attempt to save their souls and hold their religion tightly in their hearts. Allah put them in deep slumber for many days, weeks, months, and years.

Later, after many years, the believers and their dog woke up, and they looked exactly the same, and felt the same; as if no time had passed at all. They felt hungry; so, they sent one of them back to the city to try and buy some food.

When he arrived in the city, he tried to exchange the money he had for some food, but the merchants told him this kind of currency is outdated. Confusingly, the merchant took him to the new emperor, where the believer asked about what happened to the other ruler, from whom he was fleeing with his companions.

The new emperor told him that he died hundreds of years ago and that now everyone believes in Allah. The emperor inquired from him what had happened to him, and knew that he was one of the sincere believers who wouldn’t abandon their faith despite all the threats and danger they had faced.

He went back to his companions and told them what had happened to him in the city. They were happy and excited to live in the Muslim community they longed for.

They felt exhausted and decided to rest for a while, and then they all died. Allah has chosen to end their earthly struggle, and take them to his heaven, where they would never suffer, struggle, or fear for their faith ever again.”

It’s highly advisable while narrating this story to your kid to ask them what they think of their behaviors, and what they think is the purpose of their lives.

Through stories, your kid takes their first steps into the outside world; so, make sure to present them the world you want them to bring into our present and our future.

The Quran Story of Prophet Yunus (Jonah) and the Whale for kids:

Once upon a time, there lived a Prophet named Yunus (peace be upon him). He was sent by Allah to guide his people, who had turned away from the path of righteousness. Despite his best efforts, they did not heed his message.

Feeling disheartened, Prophet Yunus left his people without waiting for Allah's command. He boarded a ship, but soon the sea became rough, and the sailors decided to cast lots to determine who was the cause of the trouble. The lots fell upon Prophet Yunus, and he willingly threw himself into the sea.

As he plunged into the water, a large whale, sent by Allah, swallowed Prophet Yunus. Inside the belly of the whale, Prophet Yunus realized his mistake and turned to Allah in repentance, praying for forgiveness.

Allah, in His mercy, forgave Prophet Yunus. After three days and nights, the whale spat him out onto the shore. Prophet Yunus was grateful for Allah's mercy and learned the importance of patience and obedience.

The story of Prophet Yunus teaches children about the significance of repentance, patience, and following Allah's guidance. It emphasizes that even when we make mistakes, Allah's mercy is vast, and sincere repentance is always accepted.

The Quran Story of Prophet Musa (Moses) and the Parting of the Red Sea for kids:

Long ago, in the land of Egypt, there lived a wicked ruler named Pharaoh. He was cruel to the people of Bani Israel (the Children of Israel) and treated them as slaves. Among the Children of Israel was a baby boy named Musa (Moses).

One day, Allah chose Musa as a prophet to guide the people and free them from the oppression of Pharaoh. As Musa grew up, he performed many miracles to show the power of Allah. One such miracle was the staff that turned into a snake.

When Musa and his brother Harun (Aaron) went to Pharaoh to deliver Allah's message, Pharaoh rejected them and continued to mistreat the Children of Israel. To show Pharaoh Allah's power, Musa was given another miracle – the parting of the Red Sea.

As the Children of Israel fled from Pharaoh's army, they reached the edge of the sea, and it seemed there was no escape. But with Allah's command, Musa struck his staff on the water, and miraculously, the sea parted into two towering walls, creating a dry path in the middle.

The Children of Israel, led by Musa, walked through the parted sea to safety. When Pharaoh's army attempted to follow, the walls of water collapsed, drowning them. This event marked the liberation of the Children of Israel from the tyranny of Pharaoh.

The story of Prophet Musa and the parting of the Red Sea teaches kids about the power of faith, patience, and trust in Allah. It emphasizes that Allah helps those who believe in Him and stand up against oppression.

The Quran Story of Prophet Yusuf (Joseph) and His Brothers for kids:

Once upon a time, in the land of Canaan, there lived a young boy named Yusuf. He was the son of Prophet Yaqub (Jacob), and Yusuf was known for his beauty and kindness. His father loved him dearly, which made his brothers jealous.

Yusuf's brothers, out of envy, plotted against him. They decided to get rid of him and threw him into a well. However, instead of abandoning him, Allah had a different plan for Yusuf.

A passing caravan found Yusuf in the well and took him with them. He was sold as a slave in Egypt but, with time, Allah blessed him with wisdom and knowledge. Despite facing many challenges, Yusuf remained patient and faithful to Allah.

In Egypt, Yusuf's abilities to interpret dreams reached the ears of the king. The king was troubled by a recurring dream, and Yusuf was brought to interpret it. Yusuf's interpretation proved true, and he became a trusted advisor to the king.

Eventually, Yusuf's brothers traveled to Egypt seeking food during a famine. They did not recognize Yusuf, but he revealed his identity to them. Instead of seeking revenge, Yusuf forgave his brothers, and they were reunited.

The story of Prophet Yusuf teaches kids about the virtues of patience, forgiveness, and trust in Allah's plan. It shows that even in difficult times, maintaining faith and demonstrating kindness can lead to positive outcomes.

The Quran Story of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and the Birds of Prey for kids:

Prophet Ibrahim was a devoted servant of Allah and a true believer in monotheism. One day, he had a vision where Allah commanded him to sacrifice his beloved son, Isma'il (Ishmael), as an act of obedience.

Without hesitation, Prophet Ibrahim shared his vision with Isma'il. Surprisingly, Isma'il, too, was willing to submit to Allah's command. As they prepared for the sacrifice, Shaytan (Satan) tried to dissuade them from carrying out Allah's order. However, both Prophet Ibrahim and Isma'il resisted Satan's temptations.

As Prophet Ibrahim raised the knife to fulfill Allah's command, Allah, in His mercy, replaced Isma'il with a ram. Allah accepted Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son and provided a ram as a substitute.

To commemorate this event, Muslims around the world celebrate Eid al-Adha, the festival of sacrifice, by sacrificing animals and distributing the meat among family, friends, and those in need.

This story teaches children about the importance of obedience to Allah, trust in His plan, and the significance of sacrifice in the path of faith. It also highlights the mercy of Allah, who rewarded Prophet Ibrahim's unwavering devotion.

The QuranStory of Prophet Nuh (Noah) and the Ark For kids:

Many years ago, people on Earth were engaged in wrongdoing and had turned away from Allah. To guide them back to the right path, Allah chose Prophet Nuh (Noah). He was a patient and determined messenger.

Prophet Nuh preached to his people for centuries, inviting them to worship only one God and abandon their sinful ways. However, most of the people rejected his message and continued in their disobedience.

Seeing the people's refusal to heed the warning, Allah commanded Prophet Nuh to build an ark. The ark would be a means of salvation for the believers and a sign of Allah's punishment for those who continued to reject the truth.

Prophet Nuh, with the help of Allah's guidance, built a massive ark. He then invited a pair of every animal species and a group of believers, including his family, to join him on the ark.

As the floodwaters rose, the ark floated safely, carrying those who believed in Allah's message. The disobedient people who rejected the message were drowned.

When the floodwaters receded, and the ark rested on a mountain, Prophet Nuh and his followers thanked Allah for their safety. Allah made a covenant with Prophet Nuh that He would never again destroy humanity in this way.

The story of Prophet Nuh teaches children about patience, steadfastness in spreading the message of Allah, and the importance of obedience to God's commands. It also underscores the significance of repentance and seeking Allah's mercy.

The Quran Story of Prophet Sulaiman (Solomon) and the Talking Ants For kids:

Prophet Sulaiman, known for his wisdom, was not only a great king but also a prophet chosen by Allah. One day, he was marching with his army, which included jinn, humans, and birds. As they approached a valley, Prophet Sulaiman heard the conversation of ants.

In the valley, an ant warned its fellow ants, saying, "O ants, enter your dwellings, so that Sulaiman and his soldiers do not crush you while they do not perceive." Prophet Sulaiman, upon hearing this, smiled at the ant's awareness and gratitude to Allah for warning its community.

Prophet Sulaiman realized the importance of understanding and respecting all creatures, no matter how small. He acknowledged the significance of the ant's life and appreciated its role in the natural order created by Allah.

This story teaches children the value of kindness and respect for all living beings. It emphasizes that Prophet Sulaiman's wisdom extended to recognizing the importance of even the smallest creatures in the grand design of Allah's creation.
