Welcome to Naba.

A colourful first introduction to all 114 surahs for children aged 6–9. Read together, pause for questions, and take as long as you like.

The English text is an original, simplified teaching explanation, not a word-for-word Quran translation or a complete tafsir. This prototype has not been reviewed or approved by a qualified scholar.

Where the lessons come from

Every surah has selected introductory chapters, with source ayahs linked from each lesson. Longer surahs are not covered verse by verse. The separate Arabic reader includes all 6,236 ayahs, using Quran.com’s Uthmani text and numbering, with Bismillah as 1:1.

The storybook, story world and “Imagine” pages feature Noor and Sami, fictional siblings in everyday stories. These examples are separate from Quran explanation; their characters and events are not Quranic accounts.

Our nature, everyday-object and fictional-character illustrations support reflection. They do not depict Allah or prophets, and are not reconstructions of Quranic events.

Your family’s space

Naba has no child accounts or analytics. Nicknames, drawings, colouring pictures, child-authored books and drafts, favourites, reading lists, saved reading places, picture finds, story choices and progress stay in this browser on this device. They are not uploaded to Naba. Story-studio writing is also kept out of device narration and review exports. Each family profile has its own adventure and journal. Download favourite drawings to keep a copy; clearing browser data removes them. The English read-aloud uses voices supplied by your browser or device; some voice providers may need an internet connection. Only the published reading text is sent to those voices, and Naba does not use a microphone. Recitation is streamed from EveryAyah when you press play and requires an internet connection.
