Choose a story to read

Explore 14 figures in this collection. Each page includes the full story text to read free, with narrated versions available in the app.

Where should you start?

Pick a name your child already knows, or let them choose a setting from the illustrations. Open that figure's page to find the full story, its short tales and their listening lengths. You can read the full story online without an account. The complete Prophet Yusuf story and his short narrations are also free in the app.

For a younger listener, one short tale gives you a place to begin. Older children can follow a full story or read it with you. Our guide to choosing a first Islamic story by age helps you decide without needing to work through the whole library in order.

A story collection, with sources

These are children's retellings drawn from the Quran and classical tafsir, including Ibn Kathir and Ma'ariful Quran. They are written for listening and reading together. The sourcing and editorial policy explains how Sukun Kids approaches the material.

This collection shows the prophets who currently have published stories in Sukun Kids. If you want a reference to the prophets' names and relationships, visit the prophets in Islam. For stories arranged alongside Quranic passages, use the Quran stories collection.

Read now, listen when it suits you

The full story text on each figure's page is free. Narrated stories are available in the Sukun Kids app, with a subscription for the library beyond Yusuf. The same stories can fit a car journey, quiet time or bedtime. For an evening with less time, see the Islamic bedtime stories guide.
