From Stories to Lessons: Introducing Quranic Tales to Syauqi 📖

Bismillah: As Syauqi grew, we discovered that stories were the perfect way to introduce him to the teachings of the Quran. 🌟 Stories have a magical way of capturing a child’s imagination, and we wanted to use that magic to plant seeds of faith in Syauqi’s heart.

Turning Tales into Lessons 🌱

• Engaging the Imagination: We started with the most captivating Quranic tales—like the story of Prophet Yunus (AS) in the belly of the whale, or Prophet Musa (AS) and the parting of the Red Sea. Syauqi loved these stories, and they became a bedtime favorite. 🐳🌊
• Connecting Stories to Life: After each story, we would take a moment to connect the lessons to Syauqi’s everyday experiences. For example, when sharing the story of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) and the fire, we talked about how Allah protects us when we trust Him. 🔥
• Building a Moral Compass: These stories weren’t just entertaining—they were a gentle way to introduce Syauqi to important values like trust, patience, and gratitude.

One night, after hearing the story of Prophet Nuh (AS) and the ark, Syauqi asked, “Why did Prophet Nuh build a boat?” We explained how Prophet Nuh trusted Allah’s guidance, even when others doubted him, and how important it is to follow what’s right, no matter what others say. 🚢

This period marked a shift in our approach—we realized that these stories were more than just tales. They were powerful tools to Inspire and guide Syauqi in his early understanding of faith. Through these stories, we saw his moral compass start to take shape, and his love for the Quran deepened.

As Allah says in the Quran:

"We relate to you, [O Muhammad], the best of stories in what We have revealed to you of this Quran although you were, before it, among the unaware." (Surah Yusuf, 12:3) 🌹

This verse reminded us of the importance of storytelling in conveying the timeless wisdom of the Quran to young minds.

A Peek Into Our Conversations 🗨️

Syauqi: "Ummi, why did Prophet Nuh (AS) build a big boat?"

Ummi Ziehan: "Because Allah told him to, and he trusted Allah, even when others didn’t understand."

Daddy Ikram: "Just like how you trust us when we ask you to do something, even if you don’t know why yet."

Syauqi: "So, it’s good to trust Allah, right?"

Ummi Ziehan: "Exactly, my dear! Trusting Allah is always the best choice." 🌟

End Note: Let’s continue using stories to plant seeds of faith, helping our children grow with the wisdom of the Quran. Next up, we’ll share the story behind designing the Iqrasaurus logo—where faith and creativity came together! 🎨
