Islamic stories and games for 10 to 12 year olds
1 title · Ages 10-12
Islamic stories for 10 to 12 year olds can go deeper: the Miraj titles for this age tell the lives of the Prophets closely from the Qur'an, bring Islamic history to life and give children short khutbahs about the questions they are starting to ask.
Stories for ages 10 to 12
What makes a good Islamic story for a 10 to 12 year old?
Between ten and twelve, children want the whole story and the reasons behind it. The longer audiobooks follow Prophet Musa (AS) from his birth to the parted sea and on through the desert, and Prophet Yusuf (AS) from his dream of the stars to his family's reunion in Egypt. Others tell of the childhood of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and of his Night Journey, in chapters a child can listen to over several days.
In short khutbahs made for children, many of them by Imam Ajmal Masroor, children hear about anger, backbiting, halal and haram, racism and why we pray: the subjects older children bring home from school. The stories of Salah ad-Din and a Frankish boy, a retelling of The Conference of the Birds and picture books about gossip and good intentions leave plenty to talk about afterwards.
Every title listed here suits a child of 10 to 12, though many were made for a wider range of ages. Each page tells you how long the title takes, what your child will learn and the questions to talk about together afterwards.

Frequently asked questions
Is Miraj too young for a 10 to 12 year old?
Not all of it. Miraj is made mainly for children aged 4 to 9, but the titles listed here were made with older children in mind, from long audiobooks to khutbahs for children.
What can older children learn from the Miraj khutbahs?
Each khutbah is a short talk for children about one subject, such as anger, backbiting or why we pray, with lessons from the Qur'an and the example of the Prophet ﷺ.
