About This Story

Tonight's story is called The Sparrow's Little Dua. When a gentle storm wind carries little Sara the Sparrow far from her nest in Blossom Nest Grove, she finds herself alone as the sky darkens and the wind grows stronger. At first she only knows how to worry — flapping and searching without a plan. But an old, wise dove teaches her something her mother once tried to tell her: that a small dua whispered with a trusting heart is never too small for Allah اللّٰه to hear. By the end, Sara learns that even when she cannot find her own way home, she is never truly lost, because Allah اللّٰه is always listening.

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

Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us and grant us from Yourself mercy. Indeed, You are the Bestower.
