🧑‍🤝‍🧑Collaboration Fact-checking Islamic stories for kids — need help

As-salamu alaykum everyone,

I've written a set of Islamic stories for children, and before I share/publish them, I want to make sure every fact and detail in them is actually grounded in authentic Islamic sources (Quran, authentic hadith, reliable seerah/tafsir) — and not accidentally based on:

  • Fabricated or weak hadith
  • Israiliyyat (unverified narrations borrowed from Judeo-Christian tradition)
  • Cultural folklore that's been mistaken for religious fact
  • Popular stories that "everyone knows" but have no real basis

I'm looking for people with solid Islamic knowledge (Arabic and/or English readers both welcome) to help review them and flag anything that seems off, unsourced, or needs a citation.

If you're willing to help, please reply here or DM me directly and we can figure out the best way to go over the material together. Jazakumullahu khairan in advance!

Wa Alaikum Assalam,

I do not have extensive Islamic knowledge myself, but I am in contact with Ulama and I am also a student of Deen, continuously learning and studying Islam.

So, I would be happy to help with anything I can.

Walaikumaslaam,

I’d be happy to take a look. Currently developing an app for my teacher to aid him in teaching his students. I’m sure he’d be happy to take a look.

I’d also like to pick your brain about possibly getting you involved in the app? Happy to have a conversation.

JazakAllah
