Games about family
How can stories bring a family closer?
Much of family life here happens at bedtime and around the table. A mother teaches her son the Prophet's ﷺ bedtime sunnah when he is scared to sleep alone, a parent's rhyming dua asks Allah for a child's heart and hands, and families get ready together for Ramadan and Eid.
Some stories help a child see their parents more clearly. A boy thinks his dad is always working until he notices what his dad quietly does for him, a mum goes out to work and always comes back, and another mum turns out to be a real hero when she gives her sister a kidney. Grandparents pass on stories too, from the olive harvest in Palestine to an Eid morning with a grandmother in Mexico.
Two series keep coming back. In Aya & Yusuf, twins learn fairness, teamwork and keeping trusts from Mama, Baba and their grandparents on the farm, and in Dada & Me, Dada and his children make songs about caring at home. A wordless film shows a big sister who always helps her younger sister, until one day she is helped back.
Islam puts family near the heart of faith: the Qur'an tells us to be good to our parents, and the Prophet ﷺ said that keeping ties with family brings more provision. Each title's page lists what it teaches and questions to share, ready for a quiet moment at bedtime.

Frequently asked questions
What does Islam say about being good to family?
The Qur'an tells us to be good to our parents, never to speak harshly to them, and to pray for them as they cared for us when we were small. The Prophet ﷺ also taught that keeping ties with our relatives brings blessing in our provision.
Are there stories about grandparents and family heritage?
Yes. A grandmother tells her granddaughter about the olive harvest in Palestine, a girl celebrates Eid with her grandmother in Mexico, and another girl writes to her great-grandfather, a Muslim soldier of the First World War.
Which family titles work well at bedtime?
Try the boy who learns the three Quls when he is scared to sleep alone, the girl whose mother teaches her the Prophet's ﷺ bedtime dua, or the gentle song about sleep as one of Allah's signs.
