A few helpful details
Questions parents ask
What age are the stories for?
They're written for young children, roughly 4 to 8, listening with or near a parent.
How long is each story?
Each story is measured after recording; see the length beside each volume.
Who narrates the stories?
The narration is generated with Google's Gemini text-to-speech, then checked by a human listener. The Arabic in each volume is reviewed by a fluent Arabic speaker before release. The stories themselves are written and edited by people.
Is there Arabic in the stories?
Yes, a little and carefully: everyday phrases like بِسْمِ اللَّهِ and الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ, the value word of each story, and the bedtime dua اللَّهُمَّ بِاسْمِكَ أَمُوتُ وَأَحْيَا (Sahih al-Bukhari 6325). The English carries the story.
Why is the dua said three times?
That's our bedtime ritual for gentle repetition, not a religious requirement.
Does it work with Yoto?
Yes. The stories are standard MP3 files, so you can add them to a Yoto Make Your Own card in the Yoto app, or play them on any phone, tablet or speaker.
How do I get my files?
Right after paying you'll see your download page with every MP3, and Stripe emails your receipt. Bookmark the download page: it's your permanent page and makes fresh download links whenever you open it. Lost your downloads? You can request fresh links with the email used at checkout and the last four digits of the card.
