Know Your Prophets is a thoughtfully written children’s book that introduces young readers to the prophets of Islam through simple, respectful, and age-appropriate storytelling. Designed especially for children, the book focuses not on complex history, but on the timeless values each prophet represents — patience, honesty, trust in Allah, compassion, and perseverance.
This second edition builds on the original with clearer language, improved flow, and an even stronger emphasis on helping children connect faith with everyday life. It is ideal for parents looking to nurture Islamic values gently, without overwhelming young minds.
This book is part of our Ramadan reading guide for children.
What This Book Is About
Children often encounter the names of prophets through lessons or short references, but struggle to understand who they were or why they matter. Know Your Prophets bridges that gap by presenting each prophet as a relatable role model, highlighting the qualities that made them beloved and respected.
Each story is written in a calm, reassuring tone, allowing children to absorb faith lessons naturally. Rather than memorising names or dates, young readers begin to associate prophets with character traits — learning how to be patient, honest, and kind through story.
The book also encourages curiosity. Parents and educators often find that it opens the door to meaningful conversations, as children begin to ask questions and reflect on what they have read.

A Gentle Way to Build Faith
Faith grows best when it is introduced with care, warmth, and consistency. Know Your Prophets offers children a safe and welcoming entry point into Islamic history — one that respects their emotional world and growing understanding.
Through calm storytelling and meaningful lessons, the book helps children see prophets not as distant figures, but as guides whose values still matter today.
Sometimes, the strongest foundations are built not through instruction — but through stories remembered long after the page is turned.
