About This Story

Tonight's story is called Yunus and the Quiet Dua. When five-year-old Yunus learns he'll lead his family's morning dua for the very first time, worry follows him like a shadow all the way into the Whispering Grove behind his house. There, with his grandfather's old tasbih in his small hands, he discovers that dua doesn't need to be perfect or loud — it only needs to come from the heart. By the end, Yunus learns that Allah اللّٰه is always listening, even to the quietest whisper, and his worry melts into calm.
