About This Story
Tonight's story is called Ruqqayyah and the Silver Star. When Ruqqayyah learns that her family will be moving to a new home far from Silver Star Valley, she feels worried that she'll lose the one thing that always made her feel safe — the bright star above the hill. With the help of her grandmother and the little charm she wears close to her heart, Ruqqayyah discovers that hope isn't something that lives in one place — it's something she carries with her, planted deep inside, lit by her trust in الله (Allah — God). By the end, she learns that no matter where she goes, the same star, and the same hope, will always be watching over her.
