About This Story

Tonight's story is called The Feather of Friendship. When Zayd moves to a new home beside a quiet lake, he feels far away from everyone he knows and loves. One evening, a single silver feather drifts past his window and leads him down to the water's edge, where he meets someone who feels just as alone as he does. By the end, Zayd learns that a small act of courage — a smile, a greeting, an open hand — is often all it takes for Allah to turn two lonely hearts into lifelong friends.

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