About This Story
Tonight's story is called The Brave Little Goat. Suhail is the smallest goat in his family, and when the herd sets off to climb the tall Mountain Pass, his little legs shake just looking up at it. When he finally begins the climb, fear meets him at every turn — steep stone, thin ledges, and a sudden mountain wind that makes him want to turn back. But with the soft chime of his grandfather's bell around his neck and the whispered words of a dua on his lips, Suhail learns that courage was never about feeling brave. By the end, high on the sunlit peak, he understands that every trembling step he took was already brave — because he took it while trusting Allah.
