About This Story
Tonight's story is called The Dolphin's Charity Pearl. When a young dolphin named Marjan finds the most beautiful pearl in all of Pearl Bay, he wraps his fins around it and refuses to let anyone near it. But as he watches his reef-friends struggle without enough to eat, share, or celebrate with, Marjan begins to wonder if holding on so tightly is really keeping him safe — or keeping him small. By the end, Marjan learns that giving for the sake of Allah doesn't make a gift disappear; it makes it glow.

Allahumma inni as'aluka fi'lal-khayrat, wa tarkal-munkarat, wa hubbal-masakin.
O Allah, I ask of You the doing of good deeds, the avoiding of evil deeds, and the love of the poor.
