Tonight's story is called The Buffalo and the Moonlit Path. When a little buffalo calf falls behind his herd during their nighttime crossing of Moon Path Prairi

About This Story

Tonight's story is called The Buffalo and the Moonlit Path. When a little buffalo calf falls behind his herd during their nighttime crossing of Moon Path Prairie, the dark grassland suddenly feels enormous and frightening. He learns that Allah اللّٰه does not ask him to see the whole path at once — only to take the next step, call out, and trust. By the end, the little calf finds his way back to his mother beneath the very star that was guiding him the entire time, and discovers that Tawakkul means doing his part while leaving the rest to Allah اللّٰه.

The full narration and story experience live inside the Salaam Sleep app.
