This is a story inspired by real events described in the noble Quran. The real events are recorded in the following verses of the noble Quran at Surah Al Baqarah (2), Verse 260:

وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ رَبِّ أَرِنِي كَيْفَ تُحْيِـي الْمَوْتَى

And (do you remember, O Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) when (Prophet) Ibraheem (AS) said: “O my Sustainer, show me (empirically the process of) how You infuse life into that which has mortally expired.”

قَالَ أَوَلَمْ تُؤْمِن قَالَ بَلَى وَلَـكِن لِّيَطْمَئِنَّ قَلْبِي

He (Allah Almighty) said: “Do you not believe?” He (Prophet Ibraheem (AS)) said: “Of course I do but (I wish to observe empirically) for the satisfaction of my heart.”

قَالَ فَخُذْ أَرْبَعَةً مِّنَ الطَّيْرِ فَصُرْهُنَّ إِلَيْكَ

He (Allah Almighty) said: “Then take four (species of different) birds and domesticate them to yourself;

ثُمَّ اجْعَلْ عَلَى كُلِّ جَبَلٍ مِّنْهُنَّ جُزْءًا

Then place upon various mountains some portions (of their mincemeat after their sacrifice) from them;

ثُمَّ ادْعُهُنَّ يَأْتِينَكَ سَعْيًا

Then you summon them and they will come to you swiftly;

وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ

And know that indeed Allah (Almighty) is the Most Cherished and the Most Wise.”

Why Every Child Who Asks "Why?" Needs This Story

Ask And You Shall Be Answered follows Musaddiq, a young boy whose mind fills with big questions about life and death as he lies awake at night, unable to settle. Noticing his restlessness, Mummy comforts him with the story of Prophet Ibraheem (AS), who once asked Allah Almighty to show him, with his own eyes, how life is given to that which has died. Through this Quran-inspired account, Musaddiq learns that Allah Almighty welcomes sincere questions and answers the seeker who asks with humility and trust. The story gently reassures children that wondering about life’s biggest mysteries is not something to fear, because Allah Almighty’s wisdom is complete and His answers are always within reach for those who turn to Him.

Who This Book Is For

With an interest age of 7+ years, this story suits children who are old enough to sit with bigger, more reflective questions about faith, life and death, while still enjoying a warmly told narrative. It works well as a bedtime story for children who ask lots of “why” questions, as supplementary reading for madrassah or homeschool settings exploring Quranic stories, or as a thoughtful gift for a curious child. Parents looking for more titles at this reading level will find a wider range among Wise Compass’s books for age 7+, which are written to match this same blend of depth, faith and gentle storytelling for slightly older young readers.

What Children Will Take Away From the Story

  • That Allah Almighty has complete knowledge of everything in creation, including life and death
  • That asking sincere questions is a positive trait, not something to feel guilty about
  • That curiosity must be balanced with humility and respect when approaching matters of faith
  • That Allah Almighty responds to prayer and supplication and rewards the sincere seeker with understanding

The Emotional Aspect This Story Explores

The dominant emotion in this story is anxious curiosity, the restless, sleepless feeling a child gets when a question feels too big to hold alone. Musaddiq experiences this unease as he lies awake turning his questions over in his mind, unable to find peace until Mummy shares Prophet Ibraheem (AS)’s story with him. Through it, Musaddiq discovers that his curiosity is not a flaw to hide but a feeling that can be brought to Allah Almighty in prayer. Watching a Prophet ask Allah Almighty something so profound and receive a clear answer helps a child see that even grown-up worries have a place to go. This matters for young readers because it teaches them that uncertainty does not need to be sat with alone.

What Your Child Gets in the Pack

The eBook lets your child read Musaddiq’s story at their own pace, pausing wherever a question needs a moment to sink in. The audiobook is ideal for winding down at bedtime, letting them listen to the story being read aloud without needing to hold a book. The video book brings the story to life visually, which can help younger or more visual learners stay engaged, while the interactive quiz turns reflection into a bit of fun, checking what they’ve understood. For families who choose the Printed Pack, the printed book adds a lovely, screen-free way to revisit the story together, ideal for a shared bedtime read or a keepsake on the shelf.

  • How can we ask Allah Almighty for help when something feels confusing?
  • Why is it good to be curious, but also humble, when we ask big questions?
