A Wish Upon a Falling Star

That night, Baby Ais sat on the porch with Umi, gazing up at a sky full of stars.

Suddenly — whoosh — a light streaked across the sky. "A falling star! I get to wish for something, right, Umi?"

Umi hugged her. "That star is beautiful, sweetheart. But a star can't grant wishes. The star is also Allah's creation, just like us."

Baby Ais went quiet. "So... who do I ask?"

"Ask Allah instead. He made that star, so He's the one who can grant your wish."

Baby Ais closed her eyes and looked up at the sky. "Allah, I want to play with Kak Mo tomorrow, please."

Umi closed her eyes too, praying quietly beside her.

They sat together for a while, watching the sky still sparkling with a thousand other stars.

Call upon Me, and I will answer you.

Now, when your little one sees a falling star or something beautiful in the sky, help them close their eyes and pray to Allah right then. ⭐
