What is Stories from the Quran 5 about?
Stories from the Quran 5 is an Islamic audiobook for children aged 4 to 6 with two short stories from the Qur'an: Maryam and the angel, and baby Isa (AS), who speaks.
In Mary and the Angel, Maryam's mother promises her baby to Allah before she is born. When the baby girl grows up, she goes to live in the temple, where people study and pray, and Zakariya is chosen to take care of her. One day the angel Jibril appears and tells Maryam not to be afraid: Allah has chosen her to have a special son. Maryam is amazed and happy, but worried too. How will she explain a baby with no father? She goes to a quiet place to have him.
In Baby Jesus Speaks, Maryam sits alone under a palm tree, hungry and scared. A voice tells her not to be sad: she should shake the tree so that dates fall, and drink from the stream at her feet. Her baby is born and she names him Isa. When she brings him home, people shout at her. Maryam points to the baby, and they laugh. Then baby Isa speaks: he is the servant of Allah, Allah has made him a prophet, and He has made him kind to his mother. The people know then that he is a miracle from Allah.
