How the storybooks work
Your child picks their hero — Tariq or Noor — and the story is narrated in that character's warm voice. They make three real choices per episode; less-kind choices are gently redirected, never punished. They collect barakah stars, find Mishmish the kitten, and gather real Arabic words in their treasure pouch. A 🔊/👆 button switches between read-to-me and I-read-myself modes. All content is written to be accurate and gentle; religious wording is kept simple and mainstream, and we submit content for scholar review before wide release.
Episode 1 · The Lost Page
Honesty (amāna) & love of knowledge
A page blows out of the House of Wisdom, and your child chooses to return what isn't theirs — meeting the boatmen, bookbinders and stargazers of Golden-Age Baghdad along the way.
Arabic words: Kitāb (book) · Nahr (river) · Najm (star)
Talk togetherHave you ever found something that wasn't yours? What did you do?
Episode 2 · The Empty Bowl
Generosity (ṣadaqa)
On a feast day your child meets Old Musa, a hungry traveller — and discovers that sharing bread, warmth and your table makes everyone richer.
Arabic words: Khubz (bread) · Ṣadaqa (giving) · Qamar (moon)
Talk togetherWhat is something of yours you could share this week — and with whom?
Episode 3 · The Whispered Secret
Truthfulness (ṣidq)
A rumour spreads about kind Auntie Salma. Your child learns to check before repeating, to own up to mistakes, and to speak up gently for the truth.
Talk togetherWhy can words hurt even when we don't mean them to?
Episode 4 · The Crowded Well
Patience (ṣabr) & good manners (adab)
The hottest day, the longest line. Waiting kindly, helping an old friend even at a cost, and answering rudeness with gentleness.
Talk togetherWhen is it hardest for you to wait? What helps?
Episode 5 · The Little Sparrow
Mercy to all creatures (raḥma)
A thirsty little bird on a hot day. Your child gives water, chooses freedom over a cage, and builds a resting nest — mercy in miniature.
Talk togetherHow can we be gentle with animals around us?
Episode 6 · Mama's Helping Hands
Honouring parents (birr al-wālidayn)
The festival is coming, but home comes first. Helping before being asked, and kind words for a tired Mama — ending in the Night of a Thousand Lanterns with every friend they've made.
Talk togetherWhat's one thing you could do for Mama or Baba before they ask?
