The Brave Sparrow A Tale of Freedom and Kindness
The Brave Sparrow: A Tale of Freedom and Kindness BY:Ubaid I am a sparrow living in a place called Syed Zain-ul-Abad. Just like humans, we also have families. In my family, there are my mother and father, along with my two sisters. I am the eldest among my siblings. Life for us sparrows is always full of dangers. When we are flying in the sky, we have to be careful of predators like crows and hawks. A single mistake can turn us into their prey. But the sky is not the only place where we face danger; the ground is even riskier. On land, we must be more alert than in the air because dogs, cats, and other creatures are always on the lookout for us. Humans, too, can pose a threat to our lives. One day, there was no food left in our nest. Everyone in my family was very hungry. My mother and father had gone out searching for food, leaving my two sisters and me alone. My sisters were crying because of hunger. Seeing their tears, I could not remain calm. I decided that I had to go to the ground and search for food myself. With courage, I flew down to a nearby area and landed near a shop where I saw a lot of grains scattered around. As soon as I stepped onto the ground to collect some grains, I found myself trapped in a net meant for catching birds. I had never imagined that humans could do such a thing. Panic filled me as I struggled to free myself, but the net was too strong. Soon, the shopkeeper came and took me out of the net, placing me into a cage. Inside the cage were many other birds, all trapped like me. My heart sank. I began to feel hatred and fear toward humans. I missed my home terribly. I longed to be free and fly again in the sky, but the cage seemed impossible to escape. I had no choice but to pray to Allah, asking for my freedom. Tears streamed down my face as I sat helplessly in the cage, thinking of my family and wishing I could be with them again. Days passed slowly, and I never lost hope. Then, one day, a boy came to the shop with his mother. They noticed the trapped birds and showed concern for us. The boy’s mother told the shopkeeper that if he freed the birds, they would pray for him in return. She gave the shopkeeper some money as a token of appreciation. Moved by their words, the shopkeeper opened the cage and let us birds go free. I could not believe my luck. Finally, I was free to spread my wings and fly again. I soared high into the sky, feeling the wind beneath my feathers. The world seemed brighter, and I felt an indescribable joy as I flew over the fields and houses. My heart was filled with gratitude. I immediately returned to my nest to reunite with my family. As soon as my parents and sisters saw me, they were overjoyed. My mother chirped happily, and my father looked relieved. My sisters hugged me as much as birds can hug, and I could sense their happiness. That day, I realized an important lesson: not all humans are cruel. Some people are kind and compassionate, willing to help even the smallest of creatures. From that day onward, I became more cautious but also more hopeful. I learned that while life is full of dangers, kindness can appear in the most unexpected ways. I also understood the importance of faith and patience. Even in difficult moments, I kept praying and believing that Allah would guide me toward safety. Now, whenever I fly high in the sky or hop on the ground, I remain alert, but I also cherish the freedom that I fought so hard to regain. My journey taught me bravery, patience, and the goodness that exists in the world. I often share this story with my sisters, hoping that they, too, understand the balance between caution and hope. And every time I see a kind human, my heart fills with gratitude, reminding me that while danger exists, love and compassion are never too far away. In the end, being a sparrow taught me that life is full of surprises. Some may bring fear, while others bring freedom and joy. What truly matters is never giving up, staying hopeful, and appreciating the moments of kindness that make the world a better place.

Ali and the Gaming Lesson
Ali and the Gaming Lesson BY:Ubaid One day, as soon as Ali entered his room, his mother, seeing the mess scattered all around, held her head in disbelief and sighed deeply. She muttered to herself, “What am I going to do with this boy?” and then turned back without saying anything more. She called Ali, who was completely absorbed in a video game on his computer, the volume turned all the way up. He didn’t even hear her at first. Seeing that he wasn’t responding, she walked over to him, calling his name again. Still, Ali was lost in his virtual world, unaware of anything else around him. It wasn’t until he felt a light slap on his back that he realized someone was there. He turned around to see his mother standing behind him, her face showing that today was going to be a stormy lecture. Ali nervously asked, “What happened, Mom?” She said firmly, “First of all, I have been calling you for the past ten minutes, and you acted like you weren’t even in this world! You’ve completely lost touch with reality, including your sixth sense, which should’ve warned you to pay attention.” Ali replied in a low voice, “Sorry, Mom, I didn’t realize.” She scolded him further, “And tell me, what was happening in your room? Was it a storm or a hurricane?” Ali, a little embarrassed, admitted, “It was a storm with a hurricane and even some rain.” “Ah,” she said. “If this storm, hurricane, and rain hadn’t passed in ten minutes, your computer might have been taken over by some ghost or spirit! Don’t do that again.” Ali quickly said, “Mom, I’ll go clean my room right now.” With that, he ran to his room and started tidying everything up. His mother even helped him, and soon the room was neat and organized. Ali then asked, “Mom, can I go back to my game now?” “No,” she said. “I need to talk to you first.” Ali protested, “But Mom, the game is on! I might ‘die’ in the game if I leave!” His mother was startled. “What did you just say?” Ali laughed and explained, “I didn’t mean myself. I’m talking about the character in the game that I’m controlling.” His mother sighed, “Alright, just make sure you don’t say things like that again. You may go, and we’ll talk later.” Ali, relieved, hurried back to his game. A few days later, when Ali’s father returned from work, Ali excitedly asked, “Papa, can I have your bank account number?” His father was shocked. “Why, son? What do you need it for?” Ali replied, “I bought something in the game.” “How much is it?” his father asked. “Just two hundred rupees,” Ali answered quickly. “Okay, here’s my credit card,” his father said, agreeing. Ali quickly added, “Please don’t tell Mom. She might get upset.” His father, though hesitant, allowed it. Ali was overjoyed. As he was talking to his father, his mother called him. He ran to her, leaving his game. The next morning, Ali got up early, had breakfast, and started studying. His mother had told him, “You need to finish three hours of study before you can play games.” He studied diligently, and after completing the three hours, he felt happy and proud. He put his school bag away and turned on his computer, quickly purchasing the item he wanted in the game, feeling thrilled inside. About half an hour later, there was a knock at the door. Ali paused his game and went to open it. To his surprise, his father was standing there. Ali was both curious and nervous because his father never came home at this time. “What happened, Papa?” Ali asked. “Son,” his father said, “Can you show me the item you bought for two hundred rupees?” “Of course! Come inside,” Ali replied. As Ali showed the item, his father’s jaw dropped. The price tag, which Ali thought was two hundred rupees, actually showed five hundred dollars! Ali’s mother had also come into the room, and seeing his father’s reaction, she grew worried too. “Ali, what happened?” she asked. Ali’s father explained everything. Hearing this, Ali’s mother said firmly, “Son, if you wanted to buy something, you should have told us first!” Ali immediately apologized and promised never to do it again. “Next time, if I want to buy anything, I’ll do it with you sitting beside me,” he said sincerely. She added, “Also, don’t let anyone in your class make fun of you by calling you foolish. You’ve learned your lesson, and you should always tell me everything.” From that day on, Ali changed. He started sharing all his experiences with his mother, and he never tried to hide anything from his parents again. He understood the value of honesty, responsibility, and the importance of balancing his gaming with his studies. Ali had learned a big lesson: games can be fun, but real-life lessons and family trust are far more important.

The Golden Hens and the Betrayal of Friendship
The Tale of Two Friends BY:Ubaid Once upon a time, in a bustling little town surrounded by rolling green fields and busy marketplaces, there lived two friends. Their names were Ahmed and Shehryar. Both were young men, energetic and full of dreams about life. They had grown up together in the same neighborhood, studied in the same school, and shared countless childhood memories. Yet, as they grew older, their paths began to diverge. Shehryar was born into wealth. His family owned land, shops, and a large beautiful house. But above all, the greatest source of his riches was rather unusual: he owned twelve magical hens. These hens were not ordinary hens. Each one of them laid a golden egg every single day. It was because of these hens that Shehryar’s family lived in abundance, never worrying about money. People admired his fortune and often envied his luck. Ahmed, on the other hand, lived a modest life. He was not poor, but compared to Shehryar, his earnings were meager. He often visited Shehryar’s house, and though they still shared laughs and old memories, Ahmed’s heart secretly burned with envy. He could not stop himself from thinking: “Why should Shehryar have all the wealth and luxury? Why does fortune smile on him and not me? If only I could get my hands on those golden hens, I too would live like a king.” At first, these thoughts were only passing whispers in Ahmed’s mind. But as days turned into weeks, envy grew into greed, and greed began to control his heart. Finally, one night, he made a daring plan. He would sneak into his friend’s house under the cover of darkness and steal one of the golden hens. That night, when the town fell asleep and silence covered the streets, Ahmed tiptoed through the shadows until he reached Shehryar’s house. His heart pounded loudly, yet greed pushed him forward. With trembling hands, he managed to slip inside and grab one hen. Before anyone noticed, he disappeared into the night with his prize. The next morning, Shehryar went to the coop as usual to collect eggs. But to his shock, he found one hen missing. He searched everywhere and even asked his neighbors, but no one had seen anything. Though saddened, he consoled himself by thinking it must have escaped. But the theft did not end there. The very next night, Ahmed returned. This time he stole another hen. Soon after, another went missing. Within a few days, Shehryar’s twelve hens were reduced to ten. His heart grew heavy with suspicion and fear. Something strange was happening, and he needed to find the truth. That evening, Shehryar devised a plan. Instead of going to bed, he quietly hid in a dark corner of his yard, determined to catch the thief with his own eyes. Hours passed. The night was silent except for the chirping of crickets. Suddenly, Shehryar noticed a shadow moving slowly toward the coop. His breath caught in his throat as the figure came closer. When the moonlight fell upon the intruder’s face, Shehryar’s eyes widened with disbelief. It was none other than Ahmed—his own childhood friend! For a moment, Shehryar could not believe what he was seeing. How could Ahmed, the friend who had shared his joys and sorrows, betray him like this? His heart ached with sorrow more than anger. Yet, he knew he had to act. Just as Ahmed reached for another hen, Shehryar leapt forward and caught him by the arm. “Ahmed! How could you?” Shehryar cried. Ahmed froze, his face pale with shame. He struggled for excuses, but words failed him. He had been caught red-handed. The commotion woke up the neighbors, who soon gathered around. When they learned the truth, they were shocked and saddened. Ahmed, once a trusted friend, had turned into a thief out of greed. According to the town’s strict laws, theft was considered a grave crime. The punishment was harsh: thieves would have their hands cut off so they could never steal again. The elders of the town, after hearing the case, declared the judgment. Ahmed’s hands were to be cut as punishment. He begged for forgiveness, but it was too late. The law had to be upheld, and he had to face the consequences of his choices. When the punishment was carried out, Ahmed wept bitterly. He realized too late that his greed had not only cost him his friendship with Shehryar but also his honor, his dignity, and even his freedom to live a normal life. Shehryar, though heartbroken, could not undo what had happened. He had trusted Ahmed with all his heart, but Ahmed’s envy had destroyed their bond forever. The townspeople who witnessed the incident took a powerful lesson from the tragedy. Parents told their children, merchants warned their apprentices, and teachers reminded their students: “Not everyone who smiles at you is truly your friend. Some may pretend to care, but their hearts hide jealousy and greed. Choose your friends wisely, and never let envy guide your actions.” And so, the story of Ahmed and Shehryar became a lesson passed down through generations. It taught the dangers of greed, the value of honesty, and the painful truth that betrayal often comes from those closest to us. --- ✨ Moral of the Story: Greed and jealousy can destroy even the strongest bonds of friendship. True friends rejoice in each other’s happiness, while false friends cannot bear to see others succeed. Always cherish honesty and loyalty, for they are worth more than all the golden eggs in the world.

The Haunted Trials of Nusrat Bibi
The Story of Nusrat Bibi BY:Khan This short story was narrated to me by my thirteen-year-old grandson, Taimoor. It is about his dear friend Zain Ali’s mother, Nusrat Bibi, who, just like her own son, loves and cares for Taimoor deeply. Nusrat Bibi is known among her relatives and neighbors as a pure-hearted, noble, and refined woman of exceptional character. When the news came that Nusrat was expecting a child, her husband and the entire household rejoiced with immense happiness. This was not just an ordinary event—the arrival of a child was long awaited in the family, and thus the joy was beyond measure. Both her in-laws and her parents took great care of her. Special attention was given to her diet and nourishment, and she was strictly forbidden to do any household chores. For the first few months, everything seemed perfectly normal. But when she entered her sixth month of pregnancy, strange and terrifying changes began to occur. She started experiencing severe distress, screaming without reason, running around the house uncontrollably, scratching and injuring her own face and body. At times, she would cry endlessly; at other times, she would not recognize anyone around her. She completely lost interest in food, and her condition deteriorated day by day. The family was deeply alarmed. They consulted doctors, who carried out various treatments, but none could diagnose the actual cause. Despite medical attention, Nusrat grew weaker, becoming little more than a fragile skeleton. Rumors began to spread that she was under the influence of an evil spirit—what people referred to as the “shadow of Shah Jinnat.” The family, desperate for a cure, turned to spiritual healers and local practitioners. Amulets, charms, sacred verses, fruits offered in rituals—all were tried, but nothing brought relief. The household atmosphere grew tense and sorrowful, with both young and old living in constant anxiety. Then, someone suggested visiting a well-known spiritual elder in the city—an eighty-five-year-old saintly man, known simply as Shah Sahib. He was highly educated, deeply religious, and a man of impeccable character. Despite his wealthy background as a large landowner, he devoted his life to helping people free of charge through prayer and spiritual recitation. Nusrat, now in a dire state, was brought to Shah Sahib. The moment he saw her, he understood the seriousness of the possession. He told the family that Nusrat was indeed under the grip of a dangerous jinn. If the jinn could be subdued, she would recover. Because Shah Sahib was frail due to his age, he was often assisted by his granddaughter during such sessions. He also believed it inappropriate to touch a woman who was not his close relative, so the granddaughter remained present while all others were asked to leave. Equipped with his prayer beads, verses of Surah Yaseen and Ayat-ul-Kursi, Shah Sahib began the powerful recitation in a loud, trembling voice. Almost immediately, Nusrat started shrieking, throwing herself violently around the room, even attacking Shah Sahib. Once or twice she injured him. His granddaughter restrained her while he continued his recitations with unbroken focus. After nearly two hours, Shah Sahib directly addressed the jinn through Nusrat’s voice: “Why are you tormenting this innocent woman? What harm has she done to you? Leave her at once, or I shall destroy you completely!” Through Nusrat’s lips, the jinn replied in a harsh, unfamiliar tone: “Do not interfere in this matter. If you try to free her, you will suffer. I will never allow her to recover.” But Shah Sahib, undeterred, rebuked the jinn angrily. Holding a long iron rod in his hand as a symbol of force, he threatened to crush the creature’s body and soul with divine power. His chanting grew stronger, and the spiritual battle continued for hours. Eventually, the jinn weakened, admitting defeat. He revealed his identity: he was the grandson of Ko Wenda Jinn, the same legendary spirit who, according to tradition, had once tried to block Prophet Noah’s Ark during the Great Flood until God commanded Noah (peace be upon him) to subdue him. The jinn explained his reason for haunting Nusrat: one night, she had unknowingly stepped outside her home, passing beneath a banyan tree where his children were playing. Accidentally, she had trampled upon them, causing them injury. Enraged, the jinn vowed to make her life miserable. “Yet,” he said, “we are helpless before your prayers. We repent and release her. But heed this: for ten days she must eat fresh goat’s liver, and she must never again walk near those trees.” With that, the jinn departed. Gradually, Nusrat recovered. Within days, she returned to her normal life, free from torment. Four months later, she gave birth to a healthy baby boy—Zain Ali, who today is Taimoor’s loyal friend. The family expressed heartfelt gratitude to Shah Sahib, who refused any payment, insisting that his service was for the sake of God alone. In fact, he even offered to send the required goat liver from his own household to ensure her full recovery. It is worth noting that modern science and doctors often deny the existence of jinn. Yet, as the Holy Qur’an repeatedly mentions, human beings are instructed to seek refuge from the evil of both men and jinn. For Nusrat Bibi, it was the protective power of Ayat-ul-Kursi, Surah Yaseen, and the prayers of a devout elder that ultimately saved her life.

The Faithful Heart A Story of Unwavering Love
The Faithful Heart: A Story of Unwavering Love BY:Khan Belqis Riyaz Dela Weir visited a small state in the United States, where she went to a nursing home. There, she saw a patient lying unconscious on a ventilator, completely unaware of the world around her. Her host sister explained that the man sitting beside the patient was her husband. He was an extremely devoted husband, she said. Often, the wife had jokingly told him, “If I die, you can remarry.” Yet he had promised her, no matter what happens, he would never marry again. Curious, Belqis asked, “But what happened to his wife?” Her sister explained, “She is a patient with diabetes and also suffered from high blood pressure. When she had a stroke, she not only lost cognitive balance but also became physically disabled in her legs. The doctors have long given up hope and want to remove her from the ventilator.” Belqis, struck by the sight of the woman, felt a surge of sympathy. She turned to her host sister and asked, “So what does her husband want?” Her sister replied, “He wants her to stay alive. He hopes, against all odds, that one day she might recover mentally, regain heart function, and eventually be able to walk again on her own. Doctors may have given up, but he refuses to accept it.” Despite having two grown sons living their own lives with their families in the same city, the father’s world has shattered. He comes here for hours every day, reading newspapers, talking to his wife, even though she is unconscious. He believes that speaking to her might somehow bring her back to consciousness. Belqis asked, “Do the sons not come to see their mother? Don’t they care about her?” Her sister explained, “The family is Pakistani. The sons care for their mother, but not as much as their father. They are running their own businesses and are too busy to spend extended time here.” Belqis suggested, “They should bring their mother home. Both sons could take turns visiting and caring for her.” Her sister replied, “Even if they did, their wives also work. Full-time care would require a proper staff at home. That’s why it’s essential for her to be in a nursing home, where emergency care is immediately available.” The husband had divided his property between his two sons, dedicating his entire share to his wife’s care. A private nurse is assigned for the night, and another for the day. Treatment in the U.S. is expensive, yet he spares no expense, spending generously on his wife in the hope that she might survive. Even he is unsure if she will ever recover, but as long as she is breathing, hope remains alive. He clings to it with unwavering faith, praying constantly for her health. As Belqis left the nursing home, walking toward her host sister’s home, she couldn’t stop thinking. So many people, even those with loving wives, enter into second marriages, yet this man, living in a free country where loyalty often changes quickly, remains devoted to his promise. He could choose to end his wife’s life on the ventilator and free himself from this burden, yet perhaps out of love or fear of God, he cannot bring himself to do so. Seeing this reality in person left a profound impact on Belqis. She reflected on the fact that in this world, there are people of every kind—faithful and unfaithful alike. The man’s unwavering dedication, even in the face of relentless illness and despair, remained a powerful example. His hope was steadfast, his love unyielding, and his loyalty absolute. Even when circumstances could have justified giving up, he refused to abandon the promise he made to his wife. This scene, she realized, was not just a story of medical care or familial duty—it was a story of the extraordinary human capacity for love, hope, and perseverance. While the world often witnesses betrayal and abandonment, here was a man who embodied the rare and extraordinary virtue of true fidelity. Even in a foreign land, under the weight of personal grief and societal pressures, he chose devotion over convenience, hope over despair, and love over resignation. The image of the husband sitting faithfully by his wife’s side, speaking to her and praying for her recovery, stayed with her long after she left. It was a lesson in patience, in enduring love, and in holding onto hope when all rational arguments suggest surrender. In witnessing this quiet but profound act of loyalty, she found herself deeply moved and inspired. This story, she realized, was more than a narrative about illness or a nursing home—it was a reflection of the human spirit’s capacity to hold onto love, to remain faithful against the odds, and to believe in miracles, however distant they might seem. It reminded her that in life, there are people who are capable of extraordinary sacrifice, whose devotion transcends convenience, comfort, and even societal norms.
