Hannah was a sweet girl. She had a secret. Hannah had a little light inside her.
You could not see this light. It was not like the sun. But it glowed when she tried her best.
Sometimes her light shone bright. She helped Mama with baby Noah. She tucked in his tiny toes.
She made Eesa laugh with silly dances. He clapped his hands. But sometimes her light felt small.
She could not tie her shoes. The laces were slippery. Or her drawing looked wrong.
She wanted to draw a flower. But the lines went wobbly. Hannah felt sad inside. She looked at her mess.
Hannah crossed her arms. "I am not good at anything." Her light went dim. Mama saw her sad face.
Mama sat by her side. "Your light is not about being perfect. It shines because you keep trying."
Hannah looked up. She thought about her light. Did she need to be perfect? Or did she need to be brave?
That night, Hannah went to bed. She made a small dua. "Ya Allah, help my light grow strong."
The next morning, Hannah tried again. Her shoes were still tricky. Her drawing was still messy.
But she did not give up. She pulled the laces again. She kept coloring. Something magic happened.
Her light grew because she was brave. It grew warm. Eesa began trying harder too. He stacked his blocks high.
Baby Noah giggled. Hannah learned something new. Light is not about being the best. It is about being kind.
Allah made you special. Every night, Hannah whispered. "My light is growing." And it was.
