Are your kids bored? Are you tired of them sitting in front of the TV or playing Playstation all day long? Are your worried about the negative influence that TV and the media in general is having on your child?
I have the solution for you. I've compiled a list of 10 Islamic websites for kids. These websites will keep your kids happily entertained for hours at a time. And they will be learning good Islamic morals and values, and acquiring Deeni knowledge at the same time. What could be better than that?
Here are the websites in no particular order.
