Kids Story Books Set - Qasas ul Anbiya - Set of 30 Books

Qasas ul Anbiya (Stories of the Prophets) is a 30-book Urdu series for children by Ishtiaq Ahmad, published by Darussalam. Each book in the set tells one Prophet's story on its own — not a shared anthology split into chapters, but 30 separate, individually titled storybooks that together cover the Prophets from Syedna Adam (A.S.) through to Muhammad (peace be upon him).

How the series is built

Every book carries its own standalone title rather than a plain "Story of [Prophet's name]" label — the kind of title a child would actually pick up and want to read. A few examples from the set: "Purani Kitab" tells the story of Syedna Idrees (A.S.), "Sandoq ki Wapsi" covers Syedna Dawood (A.S.), "Urnay Wala Takhat" covers Syedna Sulayman (A.S.), "Sabar ka Badla" covers Syedna Ayyub (A.S.), "Khush Qismat Qaum" covers Syedna Yunus (A.S.), "Anokhi Khushkhabri" covers Syedna Zakariyya (A.S.), "Zalim Malika" covers Syedna Yahya (A.S.), and "Pathar ki Gawahi" covers Syedna Isa (A.S.). Each is numbered within the series (for example, 23/30, 24/30) so the full set reads in order.

About the author

Ishtiaq Ahmad is a well-known Pakistani children's and young-adult fiction writer, widely read for his adventure and detective series over several decades. This Qasas ul Anbiya set applies that same storytelling style — narrative-driven, written to hold a child's attention — to the lives of the Prophets, rather than presenting them as a dry historical summary.

Format

All 30 books are printed in full 4-color illustration, at roughly 16 x 24 cm each, so they read like a proper illustrated storybook rather than a plain text reader. The set is sized for a child to read independently once they're comfortable with Urdu text, or for a parent to read aloud at a younger age.

Who this is for

Parents building a home library of Islamic stories for young readers, and schools or madrasahs looking for a complete Prophets series rather than picking up single titles over time. Because each book is short and self-contained, it also works well for a child who isn't ready to sit through a full-length book yet.

If a single book from the set ever needs replacing, or you want to try one before buying the full set, individual titles are also sold separately — for example, Purani Kitab (Syedna Idrees).
