About This Story
Tonight's story is called The Sheep Beneath the Stars. When a restless little lamb named Rami wanders too far from his flock while chasing the last light of day, he finds himself alone as darkness settles over Star Meadow. Frightened and unable to see the shepherd's lantern anymore, Rami must find his way back through the dark — and along the way, he learns that even when he cannot see the path ahead, اللّٰه can. By the end, Rami discovers that bedtime isn't something to fight against, but a quiet gift: a time to let go of the day, trust the One who lit every star above him, and finally rest.
