About This Story
Tonight's story is called The Antelope's Gift of Forgiveness. When the little antelope's proudest treasure is trampled by his best friend during a joyful race across the Acacia Plains, his heart fills with hurt and anger. He learns that carrying anger only makes his own heart heavier, and that Allah اللّٰه loves those who forgive. By the end, the little antelope discovers that letting go doesn't mean forgetting — it means choosing peace, and that forgiveness is one of the sweetest gifts a friend can give.

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
