What is The Journey of Two Seeds about?
The Journey of Two Seeds is an Islamic audiobook for children aged 4 to 9 about two tiny apple seeds who learn to trust in Allah, Al-Qadir, the All-Powerful, as they grow into strong trees.
Late one summer, an apple falls from its tree and cracks in two, and two seeds pop out and become best friends. When autumn brings strong winds and cold rain, they shiver and feel small and weak. An old, wise tree tells them not to be frightened: they may look small, but they are very strong. She tells them to let the wind take them on a journey, to trust in Allah, and to remember that Allah loves them.
The wind carries them from place to place and drops them on the soil, where they are buried in the dark. They cannot see each other or move, but they remember the wise tree's words and pray to Allah day and night. In spring they sprout and push up into the sunlight. They look very different now, but they are happy to be together again, and they thank Allah. Year after year Allah gives them light and water, until they are strong, wise trees with apples of their own, ready to guide new seeds on their journey.
Written by Rabia Gelgi and read by Sarah Aga, the story is about 3 minutes long and music-free. It teaches young children that Allah cares for them, that He can make the small and weak strong, and that they can turn to Him when they are scared.
