Stories from the lives of the Tabi‘een

Zaid's dad wants him to love prayer. So, he asks him a surprising question: "Why do you wait passionately for me and get so excited when I come home from work?" What will Zaid say? And how is this connected to prayer?

"Can a kid really give advice to a grown-up?" That's what Zaid was wondering about after the Friday Khutbah. His surprise, however, didn't last long as his dad told him about an interesting conversation between Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz and his little son.

Zaid is in the mood for some superhero stories, and guess what? His dad has a perfect one in mind! It's a story about a brave man who stood up to injustice even though it could have cost him his life!

One day, Zaid wanted to ask his dad for something, but he felt shy and decided to ask Allah instead. Will he get what he wished for?

"Are you a freeman or a slave?" Zaid’s dad asks him. "Of course I'm a freeman, Dad. I can do whatever I want!" Zaid answers with a confident laugh. But then, his dad shares a story that completely changes his mind!
