My dad’s stories of the Prophet's Companions

Zaid makes a mistake but feels hesitant to tell his dad the truth. "What If I got in trouble?" he thinks to himself. His dad then tells him about three companions Allah praised in the Qur'an for telling the truth, though it was a very tough decision for them! Who were these companions? And will Zaid do the same and tell the truth?

Zaid is upset. He always helps his mom around in the house while his siblings just sit there and play! "It's not fair!" he says, but his dad tells him something surprising: "You don't realize how lucky you are!" How can this be true?

Seeing how much Zaid and his friend love and care about each other, Zaid's dad shares with them a story about a companion of the Prophet (PBUH) who was willing to give up his life for him! How important is friendship for believers? And can it lead us to Paradise?

While Zaid was enjoying his favorite cake, his dad walked in, saying, "Can you save some for our guest?" Zaid frowned and seemed unwilling to share until he heard a story about a companion of the Prophet (PBUH) who was generous to his guest in a way that made Allah smile! What was so special about what the companion did?

The office boy forgot to bring Zaid the sketchbook he asked for. Zaid got very upset and angry and expected his dad to feel the same, but instead, his dad was so calm and understanding! Why wasn't Zaid's dad angry? And will there be a lesson for Zaid to learn?
