About this course
About the Stories of the Prophets and Ahlul Bayt Course
The Quran itself teaches through stories. The lives of the Prophets and of the Ahlul Bayt (as) are full of patience, courage, honesty and mercy, and stories are the way these values reach the heart, especially for children.
Each class tells one story from the Quran or from the lives of the Ahlul Bayt (as), then talks about what it teaches us. Your teacher asks questions, encourages discussion and connects the story to the student's own life.
For young children this is a gentle and joyful way to start learning about their faith. For older learners, the stories open the door to the history and teachings of the Ahlul Bayt (as).
