Tonight's lesson
Yusuf learned that waiting calmly is a kind of strength, and that Allah sends ease after every difficulty.
Talk about it before sleep
When was a time you had to wait for something? What helped you stay calm?
Bedtime storiesthat light the way
Your child is the hero of a gentle Islamic story, written for tonight. Each one closes with a verified ayah or hadith, a dua to say together, and the Sunnah of sleep.
Free to start: the Stories from Islam and 10 personal stories a month, in English, French or Arabic.
Three steps to a story
A few choices from you, about a minute of waiting, and the story is ready to read.
- 1
Choose who and what
Pick your child, and their siblings if they're joining. Then choose a value like patience or honesty, an occasion like Ramadan, or an everyday moment like a first day at school.
- 2
A story is written for tonight
Their name, age and interests shape a gentle tale in English, French or Arabic, illustrated in the modest style you chose. It takes about a minute.
- 3
Close the night with light
Read page by page or press play for calm narration. Finish with a lesson, a verified ayah or hadith, a dua and the bedtime Sunnah.
أَمَانَة
Made with care for what matters
Four promises we keep in every story.
Sources are curated, never AI-written
Every ayah, hadith and dua comes from a hand-checked library, shown with its Arabic and source. The story writer can only choose from that list. It cannot quote or invent a verse.
Modest illustrations, your way
Faceless figures by default, scenery only, gentle characters or no pictures at all. Women are always in hijab, and girls wear one only if you choose. Prophets and angels are never drawn.
The Quran is never machine-recited
Narration reads the story and the meaning of the verse in a calm voice. Arabic Quran text is left for you to recite yourself.
Only what we need about your child
A first name, age, boy or girl, and a few interests. No photos, no surnames, no school. Delete everything at any time from Settings.
Stories and pictures are created with AI from your child's first name, age and interests, guided by our Islamic content rules. Read how we handle your data in our Privacy Policy.
Every story ends with light
When the last page turns, the story hands over to something lasting: one lesson to talk about, one verified verse or hadith, and one dua to say together.
These cards are from a sample story about patience: a boy whose kite string tangles in the palm tree, and who waits with his grandfather until the wind changes.
From the Quran
فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
“For indeed, with hardship comes ease. Indeed, with hardship comes ease.”
Quran 94:5-6
The sleeping dua
بِاسْمِكَ اللَّهُمَّ أَمُوتُ وَأَحْيَا
Bismika Allāhumma amūtu wa aḥyā
In Your name, O Allah, I die and I live.
Sahih al-Bukhari 6324
Then, the Sunnah of sleep
After the story, a short checklist walks your child through the Prophet's ﷺ bedtime habits. Tick each one together, then lights out.
Make wudu
Go to bed in a state of purity.
Sahih al-Bukhari 247
Dust off the bed
Dust the bed three times with the edge of your clothes before lying down.
Sahih al-Bukhari 6320, 7393
Lie on your right side
Lie on your right side with your right hand under your cheek.
Sahih al-Bukhari 247; Sunan Abi Dawud 5045
Read the three Quls
Cup your hands, blow lightly into them and recite Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq and An-Nas, then wipe over as much of your body as you can — three times.
Sahih al-Bukhari 5017
Recite Ayat al-Kursi
A guardian from Allah stays with you through the night until morning.
Sahih al-Bukhari 5010
Say the sleeping dua
Bismika Allāhumma amūtu wa aḥyā.
Sahih al-Bukhari 6324

Questions parents ask
Is it free?
The 12 Stories from Islam are free for everyone, illustrated and narrated, and every free account gets 10 stories a month · 3 with illustrations · hear 1 story narrated (short stories (4 pages)). Noor Premium (in the iPhone app) gives you 60 stories a month · 20 with illustrations · 10 narrated, with short, medium and long stories (4, 6 or 8 pages); long stories count as 2 for pictures and narration. When illustrations run out, stories are still written, text only. Replays and failed stories never count.
Who checks the verses and hadith?
They come from a fixed, hand-curated library: Quran translations follow Sahih International, and each hadith carries its collection and number. The AI only picks which one fits, from a short list for that theme.
What ages is it for?
Ages 2 to 12. Vocabulary and page length adapt to your child's age: very simple for toddlers, richer for older readers.
What will never appear in a story?
No depictions or voicing of Allah, Prophets, Companions or angels; no scary peril, magic, romance, pork, alcohol or other religions' festivals. Prophets may only be mentioned respectfully by a grown-up in the story.
Can I read stories in Arabic or French?
Yes. Choose English, Français or العربية for each story. Arabic stories use Modern Standard Arabic and read right to left.
Can I delete my data?
Any time. Deleting your account removes you, your children's profiles, every story, illustration and narration.
