Stories from the Quran 6

Stories from the Quran 6 is an Islamic audiobook for children aged 4 to 6 with two short stories about the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ: the first revelation, and the spider and the dove.

In Muhammad's Revelation, the Prophet ﷺ, who worships Allah alone, often goes to a cave in the hills to pray alone, away from the idols of Makkah. One night the angel Jibril comes to him and says, "Read!" He answers that he cannot read. The angel holds him tightly and says it again, and then: "Read in the name of your Lord who created." Frightened, the Prophet ﷺ hurries home to his wife Khadijah, who comforts him: he is a good man, and Allah would never let him come to harm. After that, Jibril comes many times, and the words he brings are written down: they are the Qur'an.

In The Spider and the Dove, the people of Makkah are angry that the Prophet ﷺ will not worship their idols. Allah tells him to leave, and he escapes by night with his friend Abu Bakr. The Makkans offer a reward for anyone who finds them. The two hide in a cave, and Abu Bakr is afraid they will be found. In the story, a spider spins a web across the entrance and a pair of doves builds a nest, so the searchers think no one is inside and go away.
