What is Stories from the Quran 2 about?
Stories from the Quran 2 is an Islamic audiobook for children aged 4 to 6 with two short stories from the Qur'an and the Sunnah: Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and the Holy House, and Prophet Yunus (AS) and the whale.
In Abraham and the Holy House, Allah commands Ibrahim to take his wife Hajar and their baby son Ismail to the desert and leave them there. When the dates and water run out, Ismail cries with thirst, and Hajar runs up and down between the hills looking for water. Then, whoosh, water bubbles out of the ground: the well of Zamzam. Birds come, then people, and a town grows up there, called Makkah. Later, Ibrahim and Ismail build the Holy House together and pray that Makkah will be a blessed place, and to this day millions of people drink from Zamzam.
In Jonah and the Whale, Yunus calls his people to be good, but they will not listen, so he leaves them and boards a ship. A storm comes, Yunus ends up in the sea and is swallowed by a whale. In the dark, he tells Allah that nobody can hide from Him and that he is sorry. Allah forgives him and brings him safely back, and his people ask to be taught how to be good.
Part of the Stories from the Quran series for very young children, read by Rania Kurdi, the stories teach trust in Allah and turning to Him when we go wrong.
