No. No. That's not right. Ugh. How do poets do this?
Zaki:The sky was bright. No. The stars took flight. Wait. No.
Zaki:That's not it either.
Captain Suhail:Oh, dear Zaki. Still struggling, I see. Such a poet you wish to be. But words must flow like ocean waves, not stumble around like lost young knaves.
Zaki:Oh, great. Even you're better at this captain Sohail. I don't need a flying thesaurus critiquing my work.
Captain Suhail:I prefer literary genius in feathers. Now, if you'll excuse me, watch and learn. The moonlight whispers, the dunes stand tall, A night of wonder. The world enthrall.
Zaki:Ugh. Why does that sound so good? Fine. Fine. I'll try again and but no more showing off.
Zaki:Alright. One last try. The desert sand, the moon so bright, the stars all dance in silver light, a gentle breeze at 20 degrees, no chance of rain, the air flows free. The dunes stand tall, the sky is clear, a perfect night to travel near. Wait.
Zaki:No. That sounds like a weather forecast. That's it. I need a break. Time to fly, Zaki.
Captain Suhail:Maybe next time just check the weather app, Zaki—it already does prose better than you!
Zaki:Meraj Digital Presents. The Amazing Stories with Zaki the Hoopoe. Season two episode one, The Night of Hope.
Zaki:Ah, my dear friends. Salaam and welcome. It's me, Zucky, your favorite storytelling hoopoe. And guess what?
Zaki:You're not just here for another story, you're here for the beginning of season two. Woo hoo! This season is going to be something truly special. All our tales will focus on the life of one very, very special person. The one who was born in the same year the Kaaba was protected by those brave little birds.
Zaki:Yes. We'll be following the incredible journey of the last and greatest prophet sent by Allah. His life, his love, his lessons, they will fill this season with wonder, kindness and wisdom. Do you remember when the great elephant Mahmud came to destroy the Kaaba, but tiny birds stopped him? What a miracle that was.
Zaki:But guess what? That was only the beginning. Something even more amazing happened after that. Something that changed the world forever. Let me take you back to that same year to a quiet night in Makkah.
Captain Suhail:Hold on to your feathers, kids. If you thought the bird army was wild, wait till you hear about the one who would guide all of humanity without even needing wings.
Zaki:Captain Sohail, please, no spoilers. But he's right. This season will be filled with amazing moments, surprises, and stories that will touch your heart and tickle your beaks. I mean brains. The Kaaba stood beneath the sky.
Zaki:Its stones were glowing standing high. Abdul Muttalib walked near its wall and whispered to Allah who made it all. Oh Allah, he said, how can it be that little birds brought victory? You saved this house in such a way. We thank you for this blessed day.
Zaki:He placed his hand on the smooth stone and stood there thinking all alone. What is your plan? He softly sighed. Why did you save this house with pride? The stars above were shining bright.
Zaki:They twinkled softly through the night. Abdul Mutalib's heart was strong, but he felt the world would change before long. He stood in silence, heart awake. His thoughts were big and quiet, like a still lake. No answers came, no voice was heard, just the night, the stars, and Allah's word.
Zaki:Abdul Mutalib looked up at the stars. Were they watching? Did they know what was about to happen? He didn't have answers yet, but deep in his heart, he trusted Allah's wisdom.
Captain Suhail:What a scene. So calm and grand, a man in stone beneath night's sand. But hush, my dear Zucky. Let's not forget. When fate is near, the stars won't fret.
Zaki:Well, look who's feeling poetic today.
Captain Suhail:Poetic? Me, always. I speak with flair. I rhyme better mid flight than most folks mid prayer.
Zaki:You rhyme, you flap, you strut and show. But hush now so hail, there's more to know. The night was quiet, the breeze was light. The stars were shining extra bright. The wind felt sweet, the air so calm, as if the world was singing a psalm.
Zaki:Do you feel it, friends? I say. That special spark at the end of day. When the world feels still and time stands tall, it's like Allah's gift to us all. The mountains stood, the desert lay, the night kept waiting for the day, and though no one could see it clear, something amazing was drawing near.
Zaki:The stars above were like a map, each one a light to close the gap. They seemed to whisper, Stay awake, this night is one the world will take. Even the sand so soft and wide seemed to glow with joy and pride. The palm trees swayed in gentle cheer, as if they knew what would appear. I perched on a rooftop, fluffing my feathers, trying to understand.
Zaki:Even I felt it, the air was humming with excitement. Something beautiful was coming, I just knew it.
Captain Suhail:The stars are gossiping. That's quite clear. Whispers of change float near the ear. The breeze is busy. The sky's in tune.
Captain Suhail:It's not just night. It's a silver spooned moon. Spooned moon? Really? It rhymed.
Zaki:Well, let's hope you don't rhyme us into a sandstorm.
Captain Suhail:Please, I only rhyme us into destiny, dear Zucky.
Zaki:Then buckle your feathers, old friend. Destiny is just around the bend. Not far away, a mother lay. Her heart was calm. Her mind did pray.
Zaki:Amina, gentle and full of grace, felt Allah's peace fill the place. Oh, Allah, she prayed, you've given me a gift so precious, a mystery. Please keep us safe. Please give us light. Guide my child to do what's right.
Zaki:Her hand rested softly on her side. Her love so big, her hope, her guide. She didn't know, but she would see her baby's name in history. The stars above began to fade as dawn arrived and shadows swayed. The night grew shy and the sky turned blue, as if it knew what life would do.
Zaki:The world stayed still, it seemed to wait, for something small, yet something great. And in the quiet, as dawn drew near, a baby's cry was soft and clear. The room was warm, the light was bright, and Ah Min Ah smiled with pure delight. No trumpet sound, no grand parade, just morning sun and heaven shade. But oh, what joy joy began that day as mercy quietly found its way.
Captain Suhail:No cannon boomed, no voices loud, yet light broke gently through the cloud. A mother's love, a baby's breath, the start of life, the end of death.
Zaki:So hail, that was actually beautiful.
Captain Suhail:Even seagulls have soft spots.
Zaki:Well, hold on to that heart. You'll need it for what's coming next. Abdul Muttalib stepped through the door. His heart felt full, it could hold no more. Amina smiled, her baby near.
Zaki:Come closer now, she said with cheer.
Captain Suhail:He moved with care. He breathed in slow, the room aglow with heaven's glow. He knelt beside the cradle there and felt the weight of answered prayer.
Zaki:The elder knelt, his hands held out, his voice was soft, without a doubt. He cradled the child, so small, so bright, this tiny boy was the purest light.
Captain Suhail:His eyes were stars, his breath so new, a dawn of gold in morning's hue. The world was quiet, skies stood still as hearts were bent to Allah's will.
Zaki:Oh Allah, he prayed, what gift you send? This little child, our hearts to mend. The room was still, the angels near. The time had come for all to hear.
Captain Suhail:He raised his eyes, his soul alight. He saw the truth beyond all sight. He spoke with strength. His voice was sung. This child will write what has been wrong.
Zaki:The family watched their hearts aglow. What name for this child they long to know? And then he spoke his words so clear, a name the world would one day cheer. His name will shine. His name will spread, a name to lift each heart and head.
Captain Suhail:And this great child, both kind and true, will be called Muhammad. Even the stars seemed to bow that day,
Zaki:and the world would never be the same. My friends, wasn't that the most beautiful story? From the flight of tiny birds to the birth of a tiny child, Allah showed us that even the smallest can change the world. The Ka'ba was saved, not just for its stones, but for the One who would bring its true light to the world. And so, my friends, this child, born in the quiet of the night, was no ordinary child.
Zaki:He was chosen, a light for the world, a guide for hearts lost in the dark. He would grow to be the final messenger, the last prophet from Allah, bringing a message of love, mercy, and truth.
Captain Suhail:A child so small, yet fate so wide, the world would shift with every stride. From desert dust to mountain tall, he came with truth, a guide for all.
Zaki:Wow, Sohail. That was actually beautiful. Did you practice that?
Captain Suhail:I'm full of surprises and wisdom and feathers.
Zaki:And that's just the beginning. There's so much more to tell about the life of Muhammad. This season will fly through his childhood, his kindness, his courage, his message. Oh, it's going to be amazing.
Captain Suhail:Prepare your wings, little listeners. We're in for miracles, mysteries, and moments that will fill your hearts with light.
Zaki:So whether you're five or 50 okay, maybe not you, Sohail. Excuse me, I'm timeless. You're going to love the journey ahead. Season two is just getting started and the best is yet to come. So until next time, my dear adventurers, stay curious, stay kind, and keep your hearts full of light.
Captain Suhail:And keep your wings ready. We're just getting off the ground.
Zaki:Salaam and goodbye.
