In a desert covered in golden sand, there lived a little camel named Sami. Every morning, when the sun peeked out from behind the dunes, Sami would open his eyes and say: "Alhamdulillah, thank you for a new day."
Sami walked to a little oasis where the water sparkled like a mirror. He drank slowly and smiled: "Alhamdulillah for the cool water that quenches my thirst."
Under a tall palm tree, Sami found some lovely cool shade to rest from the heat. He closed his eyes for a moment and whispered: "Alhamdulillah for this beautiful shade."
A group of desert birds landed near Sami, singing cheerfully. He wagged his little tail happily: "Alhamdulillah for my friends who sing with me."
When the wind blew hard and lifted sand everywhere, Sami snuggled close to his mama camel, warm and safe. "Alhamdulillah for my mama who takes care of me," he thought.
As evening fell, a caravan of travelers shared sweet dates with Sami and his family. He chewed happily: "Alhamdulillah for the delicious food I'm eating today."
The sky turned pink and orange as the stars began to peep out one by one over the dunes. Sami looked up: "Alhamdulillah for this beautiful sky."
That night, Sami lay down on the warm sand, next to his mama, under a blanket of bright little stars. He closed his eyes whispering one last time: "Alhamdulillah for this beautiful day." And he fell fast asleep. The End. 🌙🐪
