What is Storytime with Uncle Asad: Al Haadiy about?
Storytime with Uncle Asad: Al Haadiy is an Islamic audiobook for children aged 4 to 9 in which Uncle Asad teaches the name Al-Haadi, the Guide, through the story of a little bird who has lost her way.
Uncle Asad explains that Al-Haadi shows us the right way to go and helps us make good choices. Then he tells of a sunny morning when he was strolling in the jungle and heard a tiny voice calling for help. On a branch sat a little bird, her feathers full of colour and her eyes full of worry. Lulu had been flying with her mummy and daddy when she saw some shiny berries, and they were so yummy that she could not stop eating. When she looked up, her parents were gone.
Uncle Asad tells her that Al-Haadi guides us in different ways: sometimes through good people, sometimes through things around us like trees or books, and sometimes through our hearts and minds. So Lulu closes her eyes and prays, and prays some more. When she opens them, she sees a tree with purple leaves, where her family often gathers, and there are her mummy and daddy, waiting. A few days later she comes back to thank Uncle Asad: whenever she does not know what to do, she prays to Al-Haadi.
Part of the Storytime with Uncle Asad series, it is music-free and a Miraj original. The same story is also told as a video, Al Haadiy: The Little Bird's Prayer.
