On the shelf
In the order they happened, from the first man to the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ. New stories reach the app without an app update.
-
The Story of Adam عليه السلام
The first man, and the first story on the shelf. Its four books come with the app.
-
Nabi Musa عليه السلام
Four stories, from a baby carried by the river to the sea that parted.
-
Sulaiman عليه السلام, the Ant and the Hoopoe
From Surah an-Naml: an ant that warned its people, and a hoopoe with news.
-
The Boy and the King
The People of the Ditch, from Surah al-Buruj and a hadith in Sahih Muslim.
-
The Life of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
A numbered series, in order, from the Year of the Elephant to his farewell.
-
The Companions
Anas, Ibn Abbas, Abu Hurayrah and more, from adh-Dhahabi's Siyar A'lam an-Nubala'.
How we make them
Every book is checked line by line against its sources before it reaches the app.
-
Only what the sources say
Each line comes from the Quran, authentic hadith and books written by the ulama of Ahlus Sunnah, such as Ibn Kathir, adh-Dhahabi and the classical books of sirah. We simplify; we never invent. Where the sources are silent, the book is silent.
-
The Quran, recited
Ayat appear whole, in Uthmani script, recited by Sheikh Abdul Rahman as-Sudais. Never a computer voice, never cut short.
-
We draw the world, not the prophets
Prophets and angels are never drawn. The pictures show places, plants, water, light and animals, and no one is shown with a face.
-
No music
Children hear narration, recitation and the sounds of the world: wind, water, birds, footsteps. Nothing else.
-
Offline, with no ads
Once a book is on the phone it works without the internet. No ads, no tracking and no links out of the book.
-
Read by a person first
Every page and every quiz is read beside its sources by our reviewer before a book is published.
For parents
Made for children to use on their own, with the grown-up parts kept for grown-ups.
- Start without an account. Adam's four books come with the app and need no account and no internet.
- A free account for more stories. A grown-up signs up with a code sent by email. Sign-up sits behind a press-and-hold step for grown-ups.
- Nothing about your child. We never collect their name, their age or what they read. Reading progress stays on the phone.
- Yours to keep. Downloaded books stay on the device to read offline. You can delete the account at any time, in the app or on the web.
Coming soon to Android
Albab Kids is being prepared for Google Play. iPhone and iPad will follow.
