What is Alif to Quran about?
Alif to Quran is an Islamic audiobook for children aged 5 to 9 that walks them from the first letter of the Arabic alphabet to reading their first words of the Qur'an, one short chapter at a time.
A friendly teacher introduces each letter with its sound, a word that uses it and a short verse where it appears. Later chapters join the letters together, add the short vowels, and end with children reading Surah Al-Fatiha along with the narrator.
The audiobook builds listening, pronunciation and confidence, and it pairs well with the Arabic Letters game. It has been reviewed by Islamic scholars, and it is recited without music.
