Prophets in Islam Stories for kids

One of the most powerful ways to teach children about Islam is through the stories of the prophets. These timeless narratives are full of wisdom, lessons, and examples of strong faith and patience. At Primary Ilm, we’ve created a growing collection of engaging resources to help teachers and Muslim homeschoolers teach prophets in Islam stories in a way that is fun, meaningful, and easy to understand.

Whether you’re in a classroom or teaching your own children at home, these worksheets are designed to make learning Islamic history come alive.

What’s Included in the Prophets Resource Packs?

Each prophet’s resource pack includes a beautifully simplified version of their story, written in child-friendly language. Alongside the story, you’ll find:

• Colouring sheets – perfect for visual and creative learners
• Question and answer pages – to test understanding
• Wordsearches and crosswords – great for improving Islamic vocabulary
• Craft activities – so children can engage hands-on
• Fill-in-the-blank exercises
• Match the keyword to the definition tasks

So far, we’ve released story and activity packs for the following prophets:

Prophet Adam, Prophet Nuh, Prophet Hud, Prophet Salih, Prophet Ibrahim, Prophet Ismail, Prophet Ishaq, Prophet Musa, Prophet Isa, and Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon them all).

Why Stories of the Prophets Matter

Children learn best when they feel connected to what they’re studying. Stories of the prophets aren’t just history—they are stories of real people who trusted in Allah, faced challenges with patience, and made incredible sacrifices.

Teaching prophets in Islam stories helps children:

• Build strong Islamic identity
• Learn from good role models
• Develop love for the Quran
• Understand Allah’s mercy, justice, and wisdom

Tips for Teaching Children About the Prophets

Looking for ways to bring your lessons to life? Here are some tips that can help make stories of the prophets both engaging and memorable:

1. Keep it simple, but powerful

Use child-friendly language when telling the stories. Focus on the key lessons rather than every detail.

2. Use visuals and crafts

Children love colouring and crafting. Use our worksheets’ crafts and colouring sheets to make the stories stick in their minds.

3. Create a “Prophets Wall”

Each time you teach about a new prophet, add their name and a key fact or lesson to a wall display. Over time, this becomes a great reference point.

4. Make it interactive

Ask questions, act out parts of the story, or do a quiz using the Q&A sheets from the activity packs.

5. Use Primary Ilm’s resources

All of our prophets’ story packs are created with children in mind. The clear structure, variety of activities, and creative elements mean children are more likely to stay engaged—and more likely to remember what they’ve learned.

Prophets in Islam stories are more than just tales from the past—they are our foundation, our guidance, and our link to Allah’s message. With Primary Ilm’s worksheets, you can teach these stories in a way that is enjoyable, educational, and rooted in Islamic values.
