About This Story
Tonight's story is called Riyaadh and the Silver Feather. When a game with his friend Adam ends in hurt feelings and angry words, Riyaadh storms off to the edge of the quiet forest behind his garden, his heart heavy and tight. There, he meets a gentle old dove who shows him a feather that glows only when someone chooses forgiveness over anger. Riyaadh learns that holding onto hurt makes his heart heavier, while letting go — the way the Prophet ﷺ always chose mercy — makes it light again. By the end, Riyaadh returns home, forgives his friend, and discovers that peace was never far away at all.

The Dua
رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَلِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونَا بِالْإِيمَانِ وَلَا تَجْعَلْ فِي قُلُوبِنَا غِلًّا لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ رَءُوفٌ رَّحِيمٌ
Rabbana-ghfir lana wa li-ikhwaninalladhina sabaquna bil-imani wa la taj'al fi qulubina ghillan lilladhina amanu, Rabbana innaka Ra'ufur-Rahim.
Our Lord, forgive us and our brothers who preceded us in faith and put not in our hearts any resentment toward those who have believed. Our Lord, indeed You are Kind and Merciful.
— Surah Al-Hashr, 59:10
