The Importance of Learning About the Prophets of Allah

story of prophets post

As Muslim parents and educators, one of the greatest gifts we can give our children is a strong connection to their faith. One powerful way to nurture that connection is by teaching them about the lives of the Prophets of Allah (peace be upon them all). These stories aren’t just ancient tales — they’re full of timeless lessons, inspiration, and guidance for all ages.

1. The Prophets Were Chosen by Allah

The Prophets were chosen by Allah to guide people to the truth. Their lives are filled with powerful lessons in patience, trust, courage, and devotion. Learning about them helps children understand that being close to Allah means striving to do what is right — even when it’s hard.

The Qur’an mentions 25 Prophets by name, including:

  • Adam (AS)
  • Idris (AS)

  • Nuh / Nooh (AS)

  • Hud (AS)

  • Salih (AS)

  • Ibrahim (AS)

  • Lut (AS)

  • Ismail (AS)

  • Ishaq (AS)

  • Yaqub (AS)

  • Yusuf (AS)

  • Shu’ayb (AS)

  • Ayyub (AS)

  • Dhulkifl (AS)

  • Musa (AS)

  • Harun (AS)

  • Dawud (AS)

  • Sulayman (AS)

  • Ilyas (AS)

  • Alyasa (AS)

  • Yunus (AS)

  • Zakariyya (AS)

  • Yahya (AS)

  • Isa (AS)

  • Muhammad (SAW)

Each Prophet was sent to guide their people with the message of Tawheed — to worship Allah alone.

2. Building a Strong Islamic Identity

When children learn about the Prophets, they begin to understand the values of Islam in a real and relatable way. Stories of bravery from Prophet Musa (AS), honesty from Prophet Yusuf (AS), and the unwavering trust of Prophet Ibrahim (AS) help shape young hearts and minds.

3. Making the Qur’an Come to Life

Most of these Prophets are mentioned throughout the Qur’an. When children are familiar with their stories, it deepens their love and connection with the Qur’an. They begin to realize the Qur’an is not just a book of rules — it’s a guide full of real-life stories and lessons to help us grow closer to Allah.
