What is Aya & Yusuf: Nature's Balance about?
Aya & Yusuf: Nature's Balance is an Islamic animated video for children aged 4 to 9 in which the twins Aya and Yusuf find out why the fish and plants on their farm are getting sick, and help to put nature back in balance.
Something is wrong with the water. The fish are gone and the plants look worse and worse, even after the twins trim off the brown leaves to give the green ones a chance to grow. They set out to find the cause, and discover an abandoned campground where careless people have left their rubbish behind, harming the land and the water.
The twins learn that nature exists in perfect balance, like the sun and the moon, the clouds and the rain, the birds and the trees. We must help to protect that balance and not do harm, because even very small things can tip it.
So, with the help of their family and animal friends, they clean up. They separate the rubbish so that paper, metal and plastic can be recycled later, find things that can be reused, and keep what can feed the soil and help new plants grow. Afterwards, they teach Nunu the bunny and Jawad the horse about recycling. The episode ends with the twins' bedtime prayer and a verse of the Qur'an on screen: do not transgress in the balance. It is part of the Aya & Yusuf series.
