About This Story
Tonight's story is called The Moon's Special Delivery. When five-year-old Adam misses his grandmother, who lives far away across the sea, he decides he wants to send her something to let her know he loves her — but he quickly learns that a basket cannot cross an ocean in one night. Along the way, his mother and father teach him that love does not need a road to travel on, and that some deliveries are made not with hands, but with hearts and duas lifted quietly to the sky. By the end, Adam discovers that the same moon watching over his grandmother is watching over him too, and that Allah is always near enough to carry what we cannot carry ourselves.
