Once upon a time, there was a little princess named Amira who lived in a small palace surrounded by jasmine flowers. Her best friend was Luna, a white pony with a mane as soft as cotton.
Every morning, before going out to play, Amira would say "Bismillah" very softly, just as her mama had taught her, and then she'd climb onto Luna to ride through the garden.
One day, while they were strolling among the flowers, Amira heard the gentle call to prayer from the little minaret of the palace. "It's time to be thankful," she said to Luna, and together they stopped for a moment.
Amira climbed down from Luna, spread out her prayer mat under a pomegranate tree, and prayed with her mama, giving thanks for the sun, for the flowers, and for her dear pony.
Luna waited patiently, nibbling on fresh grass, and when Amira finished, she gave her a little kiss on the nose. "Thank you for waiting for me, Luna," she whispered.
In the afternoon, Amira shared date sweets with the village children, because her grandmother had taught her that sharing makes the heart happy. Luna carried the basket on her back, very proud.
When the sky turned orange and the little stars began to peek out, Amira took Luna to her warm stable, put a soft blanket over her, and said goodnight.
Before going to sleep, Amira lay down in her little bed, put her hands together, and whispered a little du'a, asking for sweet dreams for herself, for Luna, and for all her family. And so, peaceful and grateful, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. The End. 🌙🐎
