Enlighten: The Islamic Board Game (BETA)

I played this game with my two young children. It’s definitely challenging, but with the help of ChatGPT explaining things, it really made a difference. I’m a convert who doesn’t know much yet, but I love learning – and this game is just perfect for that. May Allah bless you for what you are doing.

English is not our first language, but we could still follow along and benefit. I’m grateful for every little piece of knowledge, especially when it helps me guide my children. Try the game and consider adapting it to your own way to make it easier. Special thanks to Mufti and his family and team for everything! Bārakallāhu fīkum

Our family played this game several times, it was competitive and enjoyable. We learned new Arabic words, facts from history, Quranic Surahs, and different people from the Seerah. We were unsure about how to initially begin the game; how do we determine who goes first, whether there are teams or individual players. Who is allowed to say skip the card, the questioner or the guesser? Also if a question is skipped and the guesser remembers it during the time duration, are they allowed to go back to it or not?

Beautiful game for the whole family, played with kids 11 and 13. All enjoyed. Gives you an opportunity to learn, think and research topics and words you may not have heard of. 30 seconds is a bit short, maybe increase the time. I like the fact that there are some random topics so kids can play confidently in some areas.

I yhink if you introduce a dice overall it will improve game nothing wrong with slight competition. I think you need another stack of cards that should penalize you so you move back a few places ie questions related to what you should not do questions relating to arrogance, jealously, backbiting, however you would still have to answer question.

Love the game and love that the rules encourage correct adab! My only negative point would be that it’s so difficult - possibly to the point of being inaccessible for a lot of Muslims. But this also makes it educational!
