In a busy world filled with social media, video games, and sports, it is hard to find the time and energy to teach our kids about the Prophets and their stories. These stories can shape our kids for the better, both in this world and the next.

These stories have been told and heard for generations. However, somehow, we still forget which Prophet did what. Yet, we remember every cartoon princess…and their sidekicks. We designed this innovative, fun game to engrain the stories of the Prophets, their lessons, their struggles and their accomplishments in our youth.

Using trivia style questions, ranked easy, medium, and hard, this game does more than help people have fun while learning. It also serves as reference material when trying to reference a Prophet’s story. Our easy-to-read cards help people quickly retrieve information they need and learn a new fact!

​The Story

This game is for my kids and grandkids, who like a lot of children born and raised here are great muslims. They pray, they fast, they give to the needy, they are kind... but they don't have a lot of knowledge on Islamic History. There are a lot of lectures, but if you are like my kids you somehow don't have time for lectures. Insta makes us very busy :) This game will teach my kids, my grandkids (and hopefully yours too), the stories of the Prophets mentioned in the Quran. 

These ˹prophets˺ were ˹rightly˺ guided by Allah, so follow their guidance. Say, “I ask no reward of you for this ˹Quran˺—it is a reminder to the whole world.” (Quran Al-An'am:90)

​Goal

With 25 Prophets and their stories, each story provides lessons that can be used in our everyday lives to foster kindness, empathy, and strong community bonds.

The goal of this project is to help us remember the lessons that Prophets have taught us in a simple and fun way. Developed as a board game, “Name That Prophet” is about having fun while teaching us about Islam through Prophetic stories, promoting knowledge for this world and the next.

Benefits

Players are quizzed on Islamic knowledge through prophetic stories. In addition, the conversations fostered from these stories serve as lessons that can be applied to daily life.

Parents get a refresher on prophetic stories and can share them with their children. This benefits parents through time spent fostering close relationships and trust with their children. The game also serves as reference material on stories and lessons that parents can use day-to-day.

Teens can play with their friends and have fun... without any screens! Teens can spend hours behind a screen and this game provides an atmosphere that fosters face-to-face interactions in a safe, judgement-free environment.

​How you can help?

We want to make this game affordable for all families. We are not sponsored by any government. The fundraising to develop this game is done through you in the community, and by investing in us today, you can help bring this game to those communities. If you choose to invest in this project, you can help keep the Prophets and their journeys in all of our hearts. $15... $10… $5… anything helps and everything is appreciated. We are planning to sell these games at an affordable rate, and we will also set a portion of the games to give out to mosques, islamic schools and low income families! For the first year, 10% of profits will be donated to a Canadian approved charity towards education, while the rest of the profits will be saved for the next shipment order!

​Consideration

To mitigate, we reviewed the information through multiple sources, starting from families, teachers, and community leaders. Only information that had a collective consensus was included to ensure the integrity of the game. The goal is to simply ensure people understand prophetic stories and to apply those lessons of faith, honesty, inclusiveness and courage throughout their lives.
