Sakeenah Kids

Islam for children — stories, games and activities that grow love for Allah and His Messenger ﷺ.

A safe, colourful space for children aged 4 to 12, with illustrated stories of the prophets, short animations, Qur'an memorisation games and printable activity sheets for parents and madrasa teachers.

Children today spend hours on screens, but there is very little good Islamic content made for them — especially in Kiswahili. Sakeenah Kids will give parents and teachers a safe place where children can learn about Allah, the prophets and good manners through stories, games and play.

Everything will be checked for accuracy and made to be gentle and age-appropriate. There will be no adverts and no chat with strangers.

What children will find

Stories of the prophets

Illustrated and narrated, told simply and accurately.

Short animations

Good manners, the pillars of Islam and daily duas.

Qur'an memorisation games

Short surahs, with listening and repeating.

Activity sheets

Colouring, puzzles and worksheets to print at home or in the madrasa.

A parents' corner

Ideas for teaching children about Islam at home.

What it will offer

  • Safe — no adverts and no chat
  • In English and Kiswahili, with Arabic for duas and surahs
  • Works well on a shared family phone
  • Printable materials for madrasas
