QurrahWhat would you do? Islamic manners for kids in everyday moments
Twelve moments a child meets every day: a friend falls, a wallet is found, Mum calls, a little brother breaks a toy… each with a picture, what Allah loves us to do, and its proof from the Quran or the Sunnah. In Qurrah your child chooses between three actions; a wrong choice is simply tried again, until they find the right one and learn why.

Play “What would you do?” in Qurrah
In “Learn”, then “Manners”: your child hears the moment, looks at its picture, chooses between three actions, then learns the proof of the right one, and earns the “Good manners” medal after all twelve. Free, with no ads.

- By example first, then with moments close to their life: ask “What would you do?”, listen to the answer, then gently tell them what the Prophet ﷺ taught us.
- From what age are these moments suitable?
