Mariem's Journey of Light
In a small Syrian village, eight-year-old Mariem embarks on a heartfelt journey to understand why people stray from the teachings of Islam. Despite witnessing unkind actions around her, she strives to uphold the values of charity and kindness her mother instilled in her. Along the way, Mariem faces challenges that test her faith and resolve, ultimately discovering the power of gentle guidance and prayer in leading others back to the righteous path.
In the heart of a bustling Syrian village, Mariem, an eight-year-old girl with a curious mind, often listened to her mother's stories about the importance of following Allah's teachings and the wisdom in the pages of Allah's holy words in the Quran. She was told, since whe was a small child, to be fair, kind, helping, modest and honest. One day, while playing outside, she noticed a wealthy woman ignoring a beggar on the street. Mariem felt a tug at her heart and wondered why people didn't act with kindness as taught in the Quran. Confused, she went to her mother. - Mama, why don't people help each other like Allah says? Mariem asked. Her mother smiled gently, saying, - Sometimes, people forget or struggle to follow the right path, my dear.
Determined to understand, Mariem decided to observe more closely. She saw boys fighting over a toy and a man shouting at a child. Each time, her heart sank a little more. - Why do they act this way when they know it's wrong? There were only muslims in their village, so everyone learned at least a bit from the Quran. Mariem wondered aloud. Her brother, Ahmed, shrugged, - Maybe they just don't care. But Mariem couldn't accept that answer, she knew she had to find a way to help.
Mariem tried to stop the boys from fighting, but they ignored her and just continued. Feeling disheartened, Mariem sat under a large tree, she felt disappointed and frustrated. - I just want to make things better, she whispered to herself. Her sister, Noor, sat beside her, offering comfort. - You can't give up, Mariem. We need your kindness. If no one care's, what will happen to the people.
For a moment, Mariem felt like giving up. The world seemed too big, and her efforts too small. She thought of all the unkindness she had seen and felt overwhelmed. - Maybe I can't make a difference, she said to Noor. But deep down, Mariem knew she couldn't let go of her dream to help others. She closed her eyes and prayed for strength and guidance. In the end Allah is the only one, who is able to guide his servants, we can only pray and try to make things better for Allah.
One evening, Mariem's mother sat with her and shared a story of a wise old man who changed a village with small acts of kindness. - He never gave up, her mother said, - and neither should you. Inspired, Mariem realized she could start with small gestures too. She gathered her friends and shared her plan to spread kindness. Together, they decided to help those in need, one good deed at a time.
Mariem and her friends began their mission, offering food to the hungry and helping the elderly with their chores. Slowly, the village noticed their efforts and started to change. People smiled more and helped each other out. Mariem felt her heart swell with joy. - Look, Mama, it's working! she exclaimed. Her mother hugged her tightly, - I'm so proud of you, my dear. You are a true light in our village. Amira's books
