Prophet Nuh (AS) stories for kids

1 title · Ages 4-9

Prophet Nuh (AS) called his people to Allah for hundreds of years, and when they would not listen, Allah told him to build the ark that carried the believers safely through the Great Flood. These Miraj stories, audiobooks and videos tell his story for children, from his patient calling to the ark coming to rest.

Who was Prophet Nuh (AS)?

Nuh (AS) called his people to worship Allah alone, night and day, openly and in private. They put their fingers in their ears, would not leave their idols and laughed at him. The Qur'an says he stayed among them a thousand years less fifty, and he never gave up.

Then Allah told him to build the ark. His people mocked him as they passed, but he obeyed. He carried the believers and a pair of every kind of animal. His son would not come aboard and said a mountain would keep him safe, but the waves came between them. At last the ark came to rest on Mount Judi.

The youngest can start with the My First Prophets picture book, or the paper-craft video set to a recitation of Surah Hud. In the audiobook, Leena the lizard and her friends watch the ark being built. Two Juz by Juz videos with Sheikh Azhari and his children tell of Nuh's son and of his people, and teach short words of dhikr with a great reward.

On each title's page you will find the Qur'an and Hadith sources it draws on, what it teaches, and questions to ask your child afterwards.

Frequently asked questions

Why did Prophet Nuh (AS) build the ark?

Allah told Nuh (AS) that a flood was coming and commanded him to build a ship. He obeyed, even while his people mocked him, and Allah saved him with the believers and the animals on board.

What happened to the son of Prophet Nuh (AS)?

His son would not board the ark and said he would climb a mountain to be safe. The waves came between them and he was drowned. The lesson for children is that only Allah can protect us.

Which Nuh (AS) title suits a very young child?

The My First Prophets picture book and the short paper-craft video are the gentlest start. The audiobook and the Juz by Juz videos tell more of the story.
