Riyaadh and the Quiet Dua

Tonight's story is called Riyaadh and the Quiet Dua. When a worry follows Riyaadh out into the garden one evening — a worry too small and too silly, he thinks, to say out loud — he finds a corner of leaves and shadow where the world seems to lean in and listen. There, he discovers that he doesn't need a loud voice or big important words to speak to Allah. He learns that a dua whispered so softly it barely stirs the air still reaches all the way to the sky. By the end, Riyaadh understands that Allah hears him always — whether he shouts with joy or whispers with worry — and that quiet trust is still full, true trust.
