Prophet Nuh (AS)

After many years Adam
had grandchildren and even
great grandchildren.
There were now lots of
people on earth. 


Many of them obeyed Allah
but some were not so good
and did just what they
wanted to do all the time. 

This made Allah very unhappy.


Allah chose Nuh,
a good man, to tell the
people that what they
were doing was wrong.
But they wouldn't listen
to him and carried on
doing bad things.



Allah decided that
all the naughty people
should be punished.
He told Nuh to build
a big ark near
his house.



Nuh quickly got busy
choosing good wood and
building it up into a
fine ark.
A lot of people laughed
at him but he did not
take any notice of them,
because Allah had told
him what to do.



When he had finished,
he put lots of food
into the ark and collected
the good people together.
They also took lots of
animals with them
into the ark, two
of every kind.




One day, all of a sudden,
the sky went very dark
and it started to rain.
Lightly at first, then
more and more heavily. Soon
there was water everywhere.
The bad people were not
laughing any more. They
were frightened because
they had no shelter
from the water.






Only the good people
in the ark were
safe and dry.


Prophet Adam's sons - Habil and Qabil

Adam had two sons
called Habil and Qabil.
Adam thought that
Habil, the younger son,
should take over after him.
But Qabil didn't like this
idea and was very
jealous.



To settle the argument
Adam thought of an idea.
He told his sons to think
of a present to give to
Allah and to leave it
on top of a certain hill.



The one whose
present Allah accepted,
would win the
argument.



Allah chose Habil's
present because Habil
had taken a lot
of time and trouble
to choose his present.




Qabil was very upset and
angry. He was so angry
that he killed his
own brother. Afterwards,
when he realised what
he had done, he cried
and cried but it was
too late to be sorry.

Prophet Yousuf (AS)

The Pharaoh of Egypt
called Firawn had many
people working for him.



One of his assistants had
a very wicked wife who
said many things about
Yusuf that were quite
untrue. She thought
she loved him but he
told her that she should
honour her husband.



She became very angry
and persuaded her
husband to have Yusuf
put in prison.



While he was in prison,
Yusuf used to tell everyone
what their dreams meant
and his explanation of the
dreams always came true.



Allah had given Yusuf
this great gift.



Firawn kept
having a strange dream
and none of his wise men
could explain what it meant.
Then Firawn heard of
Yusuf's great gift and
sent for him.



Yusuf would not leave
the prison until he had
proven his innocence.
Firawn had an inquiry
and discovered that Yusuf
really was innocent, so
he was able to leave prison.









Firawn's dream was most
unusual. In it, he saw
seven skinny cows eat
seven big fat ones and
there were seven skinny
ears of wheat and
seven fat ears of wheat.



Yusuf explained that
this meant there would
be seven years of plenty
but seven years of famine
would follow, when there
would be no water and
no food for anyone.











After that there would
be a year of rain.
Firawn liked and trusted
Yusuf so he put him in
charge of all the store houses
in the land.



Yusuf had worked himself
up to a very powerful position.
Allah always rewards
good people.



Yusuf worked hard; he
made sure the store houses
were filled with wheat and
grain.



Just as he had said,
there were seven years
of plenty. Those years
passed very quickly.
Soon the seven years of
famine came. The crops
failed. People were
hungry. Others were
starving.



Yusuf had planned for
this. He opened his
stores and let everyone
have some of the wheat.
Back in Palestine,
Israil too was facing
a hard time with
no food for his family
or the animals.



He sent his sons to
Egypt to get grain from
the famous treasurer of
Egypt. When they arrived
they were told that they
must get permission from
the governor to buy grain.



They went to see him, but
did not realise that the
fine man, in splendid robes was
really their brother. He told
them they could have some
grain, but if they wanted
any more, they would have
to come with their youngest
brother and parents.



Yusuf had recognised them
straight away and he longed
to see his father, mother
and young brother Benjamin
again.



Eventually the eleven
brothers returned with
their mother and father.
They bowed down before Yusuf.
Yusuf put his father on his
throne and reminded him of
the dream he had had so long ago.



The sun, the moon and
eleven stars had bowed
down before him just as
his father, mother and
brothers had done at this
meeting, This was a great
moment in his life
and he thanked
Allah, for all He
had done for him.

Prophet Ibrahim (AS) - a story for kids

Many years ago a boy
called Ibrahim lived
in Canaan.
he was very clever and was always asking questions.
Most of the people he knew
worshipped idols but
Ibrahim did not.



The people had
forgotten the messages
that Adam, Hud, Nuh
and Salih had
brought them.
Instead of praising 

Allah they worshipped
statues.



Ibrahim told his father
he didn't think people should
worship objects they had
made themselves. His father
was angry and told him
not to say anything about
the gods again.
Ibrahim decided he must
show the people they were
wrong so he thought of a
plan.



One night he sneaked into
the place where all
the statues were
kept. With an axe
he chopped off the
heads from all but
one of the statues.
The biggest one
he left.



The next morning the
people were very angry
and upset at what had
happened. They were
sure Ibrahim had done it.
They gathered in the
public square and asked
him if he had done it.
Ibrahim told them to ask
their big idol if he
knew who was responsible.



But, of course, the statue
could not speak and the
people knew it was only
stone. Ibrahim shouted at
them and asked how
they could worship lumps
of stone. The bad people were
even more angry.
They started to collect wood
for a fire. They were
going to burn Ibrahim
to death.



They made a big bonfire
and put Ibrahim on the top.
Everyone came to watch. They
lit the wood. The fire burned,
the flames grew higher and
higher. The people had to
back away from the heat
of the flames.



Ibrahim was a good
person. He believed in Allah.
Allah would protect him.
Allah would not let the
fire harm him. When the
flames dies down the people
could not believe their eyes.



They saw that Ibrahim
was alive and the flames
had not harmed him at all.
How had this happened?
They all knew this was a
great miracle and they
fell to their knees.









This wonderful thing had

made them believe in Allah.
Some people would still not
listen. They thought
Ibrahim was just a magician.

Nimrod, the king of Canaan,
heard all about Ibrahim.
He wanted to talk to him.
He asked Ibrahim about Allah.
Ibrahim told him that
Allah could do all things.
He could give life and death.
Nimrod said that he too
could do that.

His soldiers brought
two men in. Nimrod
ordered one to be
killed and the
other to be saved.








Nimrod thought that
this made him like Allah.
Ibrahim told him that
Allah brings the sun
every morning from the
East.


He asked Nimrod if
he could bring the sun
from the west next
day, of course, Nimrod
was unable to do that.

Prophet Adam (A.S) - Story for Kids



Allah made the mountains and the seas.
He made all the animals.
He made the heavens and the stars.



He made the sun and the moon
and he made the angels.
The angels were like Allah's servants
and did everything He ordered.



Then Allah decided to make a man.
He called this first man Adam.
He taught him many things
so that Adam had more knowledge
than the angels.



There was one Jinn,
called Iblis and he thought
he was better than Adam
so Allah would not let him
stay with the other angels.





He was to be called
'Shaytan', the Devil.
Shaytan blamed Adam for what had
happened to him and was very angry.

Allah let Adam live in
a beautiful place because
he was good. The place was
called Paradise.

It was a very nice place but
Adam was a little lonely,
on his own all of the time.
Allah decided to help Adam.
He made Hawa to be Adam's wife.
They were happy and
liked living in Paradise.

There was, however,
one thing they were not allowed to do.
There was a special
tree and Allah had told them they must not
eat any fruit from that tree.

At first Adam and Hawa were
very good and kept away
from the tree.
Shaytan decided to do
something very naughty.

He told them they were silly
to keep away from the tree.
He said nothing would happen
if they ate its fruit.
He said the fruit was delicious
and they should try it.


After a while they began to
listen to Shaytan and thought
they would have just a little
taste of the fruit, just to see
what it was like.
Shaytan was very happy because
he had made them disobey Allah.

As soon as they had eaten
the fruit,
Adam and Hawa
realised that they had been
very naughty and
they felt guilty
for what they had done.
Allah forgave them
But He wouldn't let them
stay in Paradise any more
So He sent them to live on earth.
