During a homeschooling session about Qur'an tafsir, Dr. Sana Khan's then 8-year-old son spoke the three words that are a bane of every parent's existence--I am bored. Perhaps if on that afternoon he had spoken any other words, the stories you hold in your hands would not have come into existence. That very night, as a result of divine inspiration, the first of these stories was penned. Each story combines literary fiction elements that make reading so appealing to young minds--relatable characters, complex plots, real-world and age-appropriate challenges--and contextualizes them within the central message of each Surah in Juz 'Amma. An immersive reading experience thus becomes infused with the best kind of knowledge--that of the book of Allah. The accompanying workbook assesses the child's understanding of the main concepts in the Surah, serving as an effective marker of progress.
