What is Stories from the Quran 3 about?
Stories from the Quran 3 is an Islamic audiobook for children aged 4 to 6 with two short stories from the Qur'an: Prophet Yusuf (AS) in the well, and baby Musa (AS) in the cradle.
In Joseph in the Well, Yusuf's big brothers are jealous of him. They persuade their father, Yaqub (AS), to let Yusuf go and play with them in the hills, then throw him down a well and tell their father that an animal ate him. Yaqub does not believe them. In the dark, Yusuf is frightened, and waits and waits until a caravan stops for water and finds him. They take him to Egypt, where, after many adventures, he becomes an important man and a prophet. Years later he meets his family again, hugs his parents and forgives his brothers.
In Moses in the Cradle, Pharaoh orders his soldiers to kill baby boys, and Musa's mother must hide her son. Allah inspires her to make a little basket-boat, and promises to keep him safe. She puts him in the river, and he sleeps peacefully as it floats past birds, frogs and palm trees until Pharaoh's household finds him. Pharaoh's wife loves him and raises him in the palace, and he grows up to be a great prophet.
