What is The Qur'an - Short Surahs about?
The Qur'an - Short Surahs is an Islamic audiobook for children aged 4 to 12 of recitations of the last twenty surahs of the Qur'an, from Surah At-Tin to Surah An-Nas, one surah to each chapter.
These are the short surahs that many children learn first and recite in their daily prayers. Each chapter begins with Bismillah and gives one surah, recited in Arabic. Among them are Al-Alaq, which begins with the command to read; Al-Qadr, about the Night of Power; Al-Asr, three verses about time; Al-Fil, about the army of the elephant; Quraysh; Al-Kawthar, the shortest surah of the Qur'an; and Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq and An-Nas, which Muslims recite for protection.
Because each surah has its own chapter, a child can listen to one surah again and again while learning it by heart, or play the whole collection, which lasts about 14 minutes. The chapter names give each surah's meaning in English, such as The Fig, The Clot and Sincerity, so parents can talk with their child about what each one is about.
It is a Miraj original, made for children who are beginning to memorise the Qur'an, and for listening alongside a parent or teacher who is helping them.
