About This Story

Tonight's story is called The Turtle and the Lantern Reef. When a little turtle named Marjan is asked to swim, all on her own for the very first time, across the deep dark sea to visit her grandmother, her heart fills with worry. Clutching a small glowing coral her grandmother once gave her, she learns that the darkness does not have to be frightening when her heart is turned toward اللّٰه. By the end, Marjan discovers that peace is not the absence of the dark water — it is the presence of trust.
