Bedtime Seerah FAQ: about the book
What age is Bedtime Seerah suitable for?
Written for ages 4 to 12. Each episode also carries a guide for parents with suggestions for ages 4 to 6, 7 to 9, and 10 and up, so you can decide how much detail to share.
What language is the ebook in?
There is a separate edition in Bahasa Melayu and in English, so nothing reads like a translation. You can switch this website’s language from the menu at any time.
How many episodes are there?
Three are ready now: Episode 1 Tahun Gajah (11 chapters), Episode 2 on the noble family of Rasulullah ﷺ (7 chapters), and Episode 3 Siapa Ghulam Al-Dakwah (8 chapters). Episode 4, Kelahiran Agung, is on the way. Read one chapter a night, about ten minutes.
Who writes and publishes the books?
The stories come from Sirah Nabi Muhammad ﷺ for Children by Ustaz Azlan Shah Nabees Khan. Faiz Mansor compiles them into bedtime scripts, and Feetra Academy publishes them.
How long does one story take?
Each episode is written for one bedtime sitting, so you can finish it in a single evening. Younger children often need a slower pace, and that is perfectly fine.
Do I need to read the script first?
Read it once on your own, after dinner. You learn the flow and the pauses, so you can tell it naturally instead of reading word for word.
Do I need to be good at storytelling?
No. The dialogue and cues guide you, and it gets easier each night. Your child is not looking for a performance, but for you.
What if my child falls asleep halfway?
That is a sign the routine is working. Mark your place and continue the next night, or start the scene again. Many children enjoy hearing the opening twice.
Can I tell a story to more than one child at once?
Yes. Siblings of different ages can listen together. Let the younger child answer the simpler questions first, then invite the older child to add more.
What if my child asks a question I cannot answer?
It is perfectly fine to say you do not know yet and will find out together. Make a note, ask a trusted teacher or check a reliable Seerah source, and share the answer the next evening.
How often should we tell a story?
Whatever is sustainable: every night, or three evenings a week. A steady rhythm matters more than the number, and repeating a favourite counts too.
Can we use the stories outside bedtime?
Yes. Families use them during Ramadan evenings, on long drives, in homeschool lessons and at weekend gatherings. The scripts work anywhere a child can sit and listen for a few minutes.
Bedtime Seerah FAQ: faith and accuracy
Are the stories reviewed for accuracy?
The scripts come from the children’s Seerah series taught by Ustaz Azlan Shah Nabees Khan, CEO of Arba Foundation, and his team reviews each one.
Dialogue helps the telling; events, names and places follow the established accounts.
Is the Prophet ﷺ shown in any pictures?
No. Bedtime Seerah does not depict the Prophet ﷺ, and this website follows the same rule.
Why use dialogue if the Seerah is a true story?
Dialogue is the voice of the parent telling the story, the same way a teacher speaks to a class. It makes the telling easier to follow, without changing what happened.

Before your first story: a quick checklist
If you only remember a few things from this Bedtime Seerah FAQ, make it these.
- Read tonight’s script once, earlier in the evening.
- Dim the lights before you begin.
- Tell it in your own voice, glancing at the page.
- Pause at every question and wait.
- Close with the reflection and a short dua.
None of these steps take long, and each one makes the next story easier.
A word for first-time storytellers
Most parents feel nervous the first time, and it passes. Children care far more about your attention than a perfect delivery.
Start with one story and let your confidence grow night by night.
