The Importance of Telling Stories

Also, telling stories to children encourages them to tell their own stories as if they mattered. Additionally, story is a series of events told in an interesting way.
            As a Muslim, stories are very important because our holy book “ The Quran “ contains a lot of stories and events that occur in the life of prophet Mohammed and the previous period of the others prophets such as, the stories of Adam, Moses, Abraham, and Jesus (Peace be upon them). These stories are used as lessons to teach the believers about their religion and about others religions. Also, stories in The Quran are teaching Muslim about their duty in their daily life. For example, praying and the description of it, how many time per day and how the Prophet Mohammed and his companions used to pray. Moreover, it has all the important in the life such as, the relationship between children and their parents and how they should respect they, how to respect and help poor people, how to be nice and generous to strangers, and so on.
