About This Story
Tonight's story is called "The Ant Who Never Gave Up." When a small ant named Anas finds a giant golden seed in the Golden Meadow, he decides he will carry it all the way home — even though it is much bigger than he is. Along the way he grows tired, discouraged, and wants to quit, but with a little help from his friends and a lot of remembering Allah اللّٰه, he learns that big goals are reached one tiny step at a time. By the end, Anas discovers that Allah اللّٰه loves those who keep trying, and that being small never means you cannot do something great.
