The Stories
Stories with a Point
Each story takes place in a different historical Muslim society, where the hero is faced with challenges, and they draw strength and inspiration from their faith and the Quran in order to grow and overcome them.
Timely Themes
Some examples of themes covered include: Belief in God, lack of purpose, bullying, abuse of power, addiction, war, suicide, and more. While some stories do cover mature themes, it's done in a culturally and religiously sensitive way.
Diverse Cultures
Some of the cultures showcased in the stories include Levantine, Malay, Ottoman, Mysorian, Hui, Caucasian, Berber, Nigerian, and more.
Unique Storytelling
We minimize the use of textual dialogues, to highlight emotions and flow, bring focus to the ayaat/verses of the Quran, and to create room for discussion.
QR codes at the start of each story take a deeper dive into the content.

How To Read Our Stories
When you get your copy of Sababa, one of the first things you’ll notice is that our comic stories have minimal text dialogues. This is story telling through interpretive art! Here is a simple guide on how to read our stories:
1. Go through the story, by yourself, with kids/students, or your spouse, and interpret what you think is going on. Feel out the flow, emotions, motivations, and the moral.
2. Go to the first page of the story, and scan the QR code.
3. Here you’ll find a behind the scenes look at the story, and you can take a deeper dive.
