I love this app! Very simple and easy to follow stories with visuals. I downloaded this to teach my child main topics and stories in Islam, but I enjoy going through the stories too! You get quizzed along with the stories to help retain your knowledge, and it gives you coins when you pass to make it feel rewarding for children. Once you finish stories, more become unlocked. Jazak Allah khair to the creators of this app 🙏🏽
Amazing!

This app is amazing! The videos are so nice and the information is laid out so nicely. It’s honestly so enlightening! There are also trivia questions in between videos that are really fun to answer! PS. I didn’t have any problem opening the app, and it hasn’t frozen yet.
Happy to use.
