A collection for the whole family

This English library brings together 166 topics in three versions: ages 7–10, ages 11–17 and adults. Switch age groups while keeping the same topic.

The readings follow a Twelver Shia perspective. Children’s and youth examples, questions and short prayers are original educational writing, not historical scenes or quotations from the Imams. The children’s artwork is symbolic and appears throughout their readings.

Related books and Quran verses offer places for further learning. A background reference does not authenticate every narration. Where accounts differ, or an original attribution remains unresolved, the reading notes identify that limit. The final six adult readings include supplied narratives requiring further source review.
