About This Story
Tonight's story is called Ruqqayyah and the Cloud of Duas. When Ruqqayyah makes a dua for something she wants very much and it doesn't come true right away, she begins to wonder if أَللَّه (Allah) even heard her. But out in the Sky Blossom Fields, she meets a little floating cloud lantern that shows her where every whispered dua goes — and she learns that nothing said to Allah is ever lost, even the ones that take time to answer. By the end, Ruqqayyah discovers that trusting Allah's timing is its own kind of peace, and she falls asleep with her heart light and reassured.
