What the tale is about

During story time at school, a teacher reads about a child who loses his father before birth, his mother at six, and his grandfather at eight. The children first feel deeply sad, but their hearts brighten as they learn that he grows into a truthful, trusted man, marries, and has children. The teacher then explains that Allah is always with him, loving and protecting him, and chooses him as the final prophet who guides people to the right path and teaches goodness. A verse from Surah Ad-Duha brings the story’s sadness, hope, and joy together.
