Stories from the lives of the Companions

After being super excited to join swimming classes, Zaid comes back from the first day of training with eyes full of tears and says he never wants to go again! What could have happened to make him feel this way?

Even though he's injured, Zaid's dad insists on going to the Masjid. "Why not just rest and pray at home, Dad?" Zaid asks, confused. But his confusion quickly fades when his dad tells him about a companion who had a similar injury yet fought in the way of Allah! Who was this brave companion? What made him do it? And how did it end up for him?

On a freezing winter night, Zaid finds it hard to make wudu because of the cold water. His dad tries to encourage him by sharing a story about an amazing dream the Prophet (PBUH) had: he heard the footsteps of one of his companions in Paradise! Whose footsteps were they? And why did the Prophet (PBUH) hear them?

One quiet night, Usayd ibn Hudayr (May Allah be pleased with him) was reciting the Qur'an when all of a sudden a glowy cloud appeared in the sky and his horse started jumping and moving in circles, leaving Usayd in awe! What was the secret behind that mysterious cloud?

Money is supposed to make us happy, right? Surprisingly, Zaid's dad looks so worried and stressed after Allah had blessed him with lots of money! Why isn't he happy over such a blessing? And will Zaid be able to help with that?

Seeing how much Zaid and his friend love and care about each other, Zaid's dad shares with them a story about a companion of the Prophet (PBUH) who was willing to give up his life for him!

The office boy forgot to bring Zaid the sketchbook he asked for. Zaid got very upset and angry and expected his dad to feel the same, but instead, his dad was so calm and understanding! Why wasn't Zaid's dad angry? And will there be a lesson for Zaid to learn from that?

Zaid is upset. He always helps his mom around in the house while his siblings just sit there and play! "It's not fair!" he complains, but his dad tells him something surprising: "You don't realize how lucky you are!" How can this be true?

While Zaid was enjoying his favorite cake, his dad walked in, saying, "Can you save some for our guest?" Zaid frowned and seemed unwilling to share until he heard a story about a companion of the Prophet (PBUH) who was generous to his guest in a way that made Allah smile!

Zaid makes a mistake but feels hesitant to tell his dad the truth. "What If I got in trouble?" he thinks to himself. His dad then tells him about three companions Allah praised in the Qur'an for telling the truth, though it was a very tough decision for them! Who were these companions? And will Zaid tell the truth after all?
