Show Notes
In Madinah, the Muslims are no longer hiding. They pray together every day — but how does a whole city know when it’s time to stop and remember Allah?
In this episode, Zaki tells the beautiful true story of how the Adhan, the call to prayer, was born… and how an unexpected voice was chosen to deliver it.
Bilal, a former slave who endured cruelty, racism, and mockery, is asked to stand above the city and call people to prayer — even though some doubt him because of who he is and how he speaks. What happens next changes Madinah forever.
This gentle, powerful story teaches children about:
- Prayer and community
- Equality and dignity
- Listening with the heart
- How Allah honors sincerity over status
A moving episode about faith, courage, and a voice that rose not because it was perfect — but because it was true.
🎧 Perfect for children ages 5–8, with layered meaning for parents listening along.
