The Clear Quran for Kids
Edited by Kids, for Kids
What makes this translation unique is that it has been edited by kids, for kids. I have worked diligently with a team of students (mostly grades 2–5) to identify difficult words and replace them with easier ones that carry the same meaning. As for the words we couldn’t replace, they are explained in the glossary, along with the Arabic terms used in this book. With the help of qualified Islamic and public school teachers and professional editors, we made sure that the translation is accurate and accessible. 

Beautifully Illustrated & Easy to Understand
This full-color edition of The Clear Quran for Kids covers Surah al-Fatihah and Surah 49, al-Hujurat, through Surah 114, an-Nas. The translation has been simplified so that children can understand it clearly. Lessons are divided into four sections: Learning Points, Side Stories, Background Stories, and Words of Wisdom—making each surah engaging, educational, and easy to follow.

According to an authentic ḥadith recorded by Imam Aḥmad, the Prophet ‎ﷺ‎ stated that the Quran is composed of four sections:

• Aṭ-Ṭiwal ‎الطِّوَال (the long surahs), including al-Baqarah (2) to at-Tawbah (9)
• Al-Mi’un ‎الْمِئُون (surahs of about 100 verses), including Yunus (10) to al-Qaṣaṣ (28)
• Al-Mathani ‎الْمَثَانِي (surahs under 100 verses), including al-’Ankabut (29) to al-Fatḥ (48)
• Al-Mufaṣṣal ‎‏ الْمُفَصَّل (the short surahs), including al-Ḥujurat (49) to an-Nas (114), as well as al-Fatihah (1)
