Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Out of his Infinite Love and Mercy, Allah sent to humanity Prophets, guiding them to that which is the best. Yusuf Estes teaches children through his lucid and captivating narratives about the fascinating lives of the Prophets, their struggles and victories, as well as the lessons that can be learned from the time they spent with our previous generations. The Prophets clarified to humanity the purpose of creation i.e. worshipping God and obeying His commands, as well as clarifying that this life is a test for each individual, a test of which its results will decide the type of life one will lead after death. The Qur'an mentions by names, Prophets, such as Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, David, Solomon, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, may the mercy and blessings of Allah be upon them, to name a few. While we believe Prophet Muhammad to be the final Messenger of Allah, the Islamic faith does not restrict us in any way from receiving inspiration and guidance from the examples of other Prophets and Messengers. In fact, it is precisely for this reason the Quran narrates their stories for us so that we may constantly reflect and contemplate upon them.
