Once upon a time there lived a rich and noble

man and a kind and beautiful lady.

They had a daughter named Zahra who was sweet

and gentle, and as beautiful as the crescent moon. Every

day Zahra and her parents would read the Qur’an, and they never

missed a prayer.

As the months passed by Zahra’s mother became ill. Although many

doctors had been called, no one could find a cure. One sad day Zahra’s

mother died. Father and daughter were heartbroken.

‘Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji‘un,’ said the father with tears in his eyes.

‘Truly, we belong to Allah and to Him we will return.’

Zahra and her father were very sad, but they put their trust in Allah

and asked Him to grant them patience and comfort.
