About This Story

Tonight's story is called Riyaadh and the Little Masjid Lantern. When four-year-old Riyaadh is given his very own lantern to carry to the Lantern Masjid, he notices something strange — his flame flickers weakly while everyone else's glows warm and steady. Riyaadh soon discovers that his lantern isn't broken at all; it simply mirrors what's happening in his heart during salah. Through the wise words of his grandfather and a gentle journey inside his own prayers, Riyaadh learns that Allah doesn't just want our hands to move in salah — He wants our hearts to be there too. By the end, Riyaadh's lantern glows the brightest in the whole masjid, not because the flame changed, but because Riyaadh did.
