Do you ever feel that most complete Qur’an translations are written for adults, leaving your child struggling to connect with the meaning? Traditional translations often use complex vocabulary or adult phrasing that can make the Qur’an feel distant, while illustrated story-style Qur’ans may dilute the message. As a parent, you want your child’s first experience with the word of Allah to be inspiring, accurate and easy to understand.
The Easy Quran has been written especially for children. Translated by Shaykh Tahir Mahmood Kiani, this work takes his scholarly knowledge and simplifies it into language even a seven-year-old can grasp. By using a clever bold and non-bold system, you can see exactly what the Arabic says in bold words while the non-bold words make the meaning clear and the sentence complete.
This hardback edition, complete with a sewn-in ribbon marker, is sturdy enough to be read daily. The verses are laid out in clear paragraphs rather than isolated lines, helping your child follow the stories and lessons of the Qur’an as they were meant to be understood.

Who We Are
One of the First Islamic Publishers in the United Kingdom
Connecting English-speaking Muslims to the heart of their faith with authentic, accessible books.
At a time when there were limited faith-based resources to learn and teach Islam to the Muslim community in English, Afsar & Jamal-un-Nisa Siddiqui founded one of the first Islamic publishing houses in the UK. Leaving behind professional careers, they paved the way for future generations to enjoy a wide range of Islamic literature. Almost fifty years later, we continue to provide the highest quality books worldwide and support literacy charities.
