About This Story
Tonight's story is called The Hummingbird's Good Deed Garden. When a tiny hummingbird named Zumra feels far too small to make any real difference in her enormous, beautiful garden, she almost gives up before she's even tried. But when she's gently guided to plant one small Deed Seed and tend it with sincere, quiet good deeds, she learns that Allah اللّٰه loves even the smallest acts of kindness — and that no deed done for Him is ever too little to matter. By the end, Zumra's one tiny seed has helped bloom an entire garden of light, and her tired, unmotivated heart has become bright and inspired.
