Yusuf, a cheerful boy with round glasses and a blue vest, waves to his friends as they arrive. Amina, a thoughtful girl in a pink hijab, adjusts her lantern and smiles shyly at the group. The air is filled with excitement as their teacher, Imam Kareem, welcomes everyone with a warm grin.
"Tonight, we will learn about the light of faith that shines within all of us," he announces, gesturing to the glowing lanterns.

Imam Kareem shares tales of prophets and their unwavering faith, his voice soothing and expressive. The children listen, eyes wide, as he describes how trust in Allah guided them through challenges.
"Does faith mean never being afraid?" asks Yusuf, curiosity shining in his eyes.
"Faith is trusting Allah, even when you feel afraid," replies Imam Kareem gently.
Amina gazes at her lantern, thinking about her own worries. Yusuf glances at her and offers a reassuring smile.
"Sometimes I worry about my family," admits Amina.
"Me too. But maybe our lanterns remind us that Allah is always with us," responds Yusuf.
Imam Kareem encourages each child, listening patiently and celebrating their courage. Cartoon birds flit overhead, and the garden’s flowers sway in the evening breeze.
"Last week, I prayed for my grandmother to get better, and I felt peaceful after," shares Amina.
"When I was scared during a storm, I remembered the stories and felt brave," adds Yusuf.
Imam Kareem leads a prayer of gratitude, the cartoon-style crowd bowing their heads in unison. The children beam with pride, their lanterns high, symbols of their newfound understanding.
"Let your faith shine, always and everywhere," he declares, his words echoing in the joyful night.

The lanterns glimmer warmly, framing the smiling children and hinting at the gentle lessons within. The mosque’s minaret and garden form a vibrant, welcoming setting, making the cover as inviting as the story itself.
