Let’s be honest. When I was a kid, Muslim storybooks were boring.
They lacked color.
They lacked representation.
And most of all, they lacked soul.
They felt like pamphlets pretending to be stories. Flat characters. Preachy morals. No real hook.
Now fast forward to today—and the landscape seems to have changed.
People say Islamic storybooks are cool again.
But are they really?
Each time I read a new one, I still find myself asking:
“Did this story even have a point?”
“Do they think kids are dumb?”
It’s not enough to show a child a “good” character and hope they’ll copy the behavior.
You have to convince them.
You have to guide them through why it matters.
A Verse, A Story, A Lesson
That’s where our framework comes in.
A verse.
A story.
A lesson.
You want to teach kids Quranic verses—but let’s be real, they’re often too complex for a young mind to grasp directly.
You want to tell them stories—but most stories these days are shallow entertainment.
Sure, Disney stories work.
They’re engaging.
They’re visually stunning.
But the values they promote? Not always ideal.
So what if we could have both?
Disney-Level Imagery. With Soul.
What if we could create Islamic storybooks with all the heart, psychology, and emotional arc of a Pixar short—
but rooted in spiritual truth and real moral weight?
People often ask us if we use AI to create our illustrations.
I usually smile.
“You need a real illustrator. AI gives low quality.”
Sure.
But if you had a sword, would you fight with a butter knife?
The truth is: AI is a tool, not a replacement.
Human illustrators bring flair. Style. Emotion. That can’t be replaced.
But give that illustrator the right tools?
Suddenly, we can create Disney-level visuals—faster, sharper, and more accessible.
All in service of stories that matter. Stories that stay.
So… Are Muslim Storybooks Cool Again?
They can be.
That’s what we’re working on.
Islamic storybooks that are beautiful and meaningful.
That entertain and educate.
That spark curiosity and reflection.
