Once Upon A Crescent: Muslim Kids Podcast

214

Once Upon a Crescent is a collection of Islamic bedtime stories for children. Written and produced by a Muslim elementary school teacher, these stories aim to impart Islamic morals to kids through light-hearted storytelling. Not only are stories a great way to settle into a bedtime routine, but they also provide rich opportunities for meaningful dialogue between parent and child. Snuggle up with your little one and feel free to use this podcast as a starting point to talk about Islamic values. My goal is to facilitate some important moral conversations by introducing Islamic values with storytelling.For more information go to MrsHashimi.com

    Amazing Ma’sha’Allah-A Family Car Ride Tradition
    We discovered Mrs Hashmi when we received a personalized Eid story by Mrs Hashmi as a gift from a friend. Since then we’ve become hooked…we’ve become a Once Upon a Crescent family and have listened to all the episodes multiple times on our car rides to school. May Allah SWT bless Mrs Hashmi and her family many times over for making our car rides so enjoyable and full of amazing reflection…to the point where my kids (one of whom despises going out) are happier to go out for an errand if I’ll play Mrs Hashmi. But this hasn’t only been beneficial for the kids, I’ve learned so much as a parent. So much so, that when I speak gently now, my kids point out that I’m copying Mrs Hashmi. And also if I’m raising my voice I’ve been reminded of the episode where the mother doesn’t yell when the sugar jar breaks 😀. I’ve also used it to resolve conflicts between my kids. Now when we’re in a conflict situation at home where mean words are involved …I often say remember the Mrs Hashmi episode…speak good or stay silent! (If I had said that on its own it probably wouldn’t have the same impact - but now because it’s linked to a story the message becomes so much more powerful). The parents in all the episodes are the kind of parents we would all aspire to be…I also love the hadith selections…they stay in your mind long after the story, and are stated in such a beautiful integrated way without being preachy. We love the variance in names, characters (both animal and human!), settings, and sound effects too. My favorite episodes are The Gentle Giraffes (because I need to hear that message for myself), and the one about the Honest Date Seller. This podcast is honestly one of the best parts of my children’s childhood. There is so much goodness in it. From great life/moral lessons for everyone (despite their faith) to developing a strong sense of Muslim identity to just having fun listening to a great story…it’s fantastic and such a gift to the Ummah. May Allah SWT bless all those involved infinitely.

I love my religion and this podcast makes me love it more!❤️🧕🏼mashalla I hope you get barakha May Allah bless you
  • wfhvjhdbkuf
    Ethnic narrator?
    Terrible narrator, not ethnically true to podcast premise
  • i love you legos
    ALEDRANDOKHAN you make me sick
    Why would you say that? It’s revolting that you would write a review hating on the Islamic religion. Why would you listen to an Islamic podcast if you are atheist? You say this makes you sick but the fact you wrote and said that makes me sick
  • LAILA MOUSA
    Amazing
    I love your podcasts I can’t wait for more inshallah
  • Brown in Media
    Perfect for a new generation of Muslim kids
    I’ve been searching for something like this for years. Mrs. Hashmi does an exceptional job of weaving together interesting themes (animals, family, school etc.) with Islamic reminders in an approachable way for young listeners growing up in the West. My kids love listening to her stories on long drives. Please keep it up!!
  • taiba ahmad
    ❤️❤️ love your content
    You are doing an amazing job mashalah..
  • The anime nerd
    Creative and fun
    The stories on this podcast are so creative and fun! They remind me of the whimsy of Peter Rabbit while also being very unique in their way of story telling. Definitely worth checking out regardless of your faith. I’m not a Muslim myself, but I learned a lot from these stories.
  • jdeirbdehejfh

    A Must Have
    My kids absolutely love e ray story. Thanks you taking the time and providing valuable lessons. No bedtime in our house is complete without Once Upon A Crescent.
  • AlejandroKhan
    Horrible
    It’s terrible. Islam is a horrible religion on its own but with the government line about covid makes it even worse. As an atheist with daughters it literally makes me sick to listen to.

  • Yusar8590
    Amazing podcast!
    My kids lovingly ask, “Mama can you turn on Mrs. Hashimi?” Can’t thank you enough for this amazing podcast. We’ve listened to each episode over and over and over again that my children have practically memorized them. The stories are engaging and wholesome, and the conversations between characters are believable and interesting. May Allah bless your every effort.
  • Saima238
    Amazing!!!
    So great for kids. I was a podcast junkie and always listening my own podcast when driving. Well, I cannot do that anymore because my kids LOVE this so much they want to listen to their podcast. I get some quiet time and no screen is a win. ❤️

  • SSultan77
    Our Favorite Podcast!
    This podcast is our absolute favorite! My kids, ages 7.5 & 6 request these stories during every car ride. As a mental health therapist, I find the lessons embedded into each story to be profound and very beneficial for children. Therapeutic techniques are woven seamlessly into each episode and I find myself just as excited as my kids to tune in!
  • FatimaBaki

    Must Listen for All Little Muslims!
    My son was hooked onto these stories since he heard the first story! Mrs.Hashmi has such a wondrous imagination when crafting these stories, and I love the connection to faith within the lessons of each story. It’s a great way for my kids to stay connected to their faith, enrich their imaginations, and enjoy car rides! Thank you for doing this!
