About This Story
Tonight's story is called The Hidden Lantern Lake. When a busy little boy named Ibrahim discovers a secret lake glowing with hundreds of floating lanterns, he rushes from one wonder to the next without ever stopping to look closely. It's only when an old lantern-keeper teaches him to be still that Ibrahim learns that slowing down helps him truly see the blessings Allah اللّٰه has placed all around him. By the end, Ibrahim sends his own lantern gently onto the water — and finally understands what it means to be at peace.
