One Verse, One Story, One Lesson Islamic Storybooks That Do It All: Faith, Morals, and Knowledge—So You Don’t Need Separate Books for Each. Give your children an inspiring story that imparts the essential values of Islam through a captivating narrative filled with gentleness and wisdom. Rafiq is a curious and determined young bear who loves raspberries—but the best ones always seem out of reach! When faced with challenges, he doesn’t give up. Instead, he pushes through difficulties, discovering that patience, perseverance, and hard work lead to the sweetest rewards. Follow Rafiq’s journey as he learns an important life lesson inspired by the Quran: “With hardship comes ease.” The Moral of This Story This story is based on verses 5-6 of Surah Al-Sharh from the Holy Quran: فَإِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا إِنَّ مَعَ ٱلْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا "Fa-inna ma‘a al-‘usri yusra. Inna ma‘a al-‘usri yusra." "For indeed, with hardship comes ease. Indeed, with hardship comes ease." (Surah Al-Sharh 94:5-6) This verse teaches us that no struggle lasts forever —with every hardship, ease will surely follow. Rafiq’s journey reflects this truth: he endured the difficulty of climbing the mountain, but his patience and perseverance led him to a valley full of untouched raspberries. This story reminds us that success comes to those who push through challenges, knowing that ease will come in time, just as Allah has promised.
