The Clear Quran® for Kids - Surah 1 and 49-114 - Volume 4

A Quran Translation Edited by Kids, for Kids

What makes The Clear Quran® for Kids unique is that it has been reviewed and edited by children themselves. Dr. Mustafa Khattab worked closely with a team of students (mainly grades 2–5) to identify complex words and replace them with simpler, age-appropriate alternatives—while preserving the original meaning.

For terms that could not be simplified, clear explanations are provided in the glossary, along with the Arabic terms featured in the book. With the support of qualified Islamic scholars, public school teachers, and professional editors, this translation strikes the perfect balance between accuracy, accessibility, and readability—making it one of the most engaging and reliable Quran translations for children.
