Zaki (00:02):
Captain Sohail, I've made a decision.
Captain Suhail (00:04):
Is it about not flapping your beak every two
minutes?
Zaki (00:08):
I'm ready for my moment, my big discovery. Any day now,
someone important is going tospot me.
Captain Suhail (00:13):
Aye. Someone important, like the crow who
runs the lost and found.
Zaki (00:19):
No. Bigger. Bigger. What if what if we make this podcast
super famous? More followers,more listeners.
Imagine it.
Captain Suhail (00:26):
Imagine the noise complaints from all the
new neighbors. We could
Zaki (00:31):
have posters, t shirts, maybe even a cereal. Zaki-os,
every bite of story.
Captain Suhail (00:37):
Aye. And the prize inside be a feather you
lost from flapping too much.
Zaki (00:43):
I could make a marketing plan. Step one, tell every
parent listening to share thispodcast with five other parents.
Captain Suhail (00:49):
Step two, drive them all mad with endless
chirping. No. No. Think aboutit. If every parent shares it,
more kids hear the stories, morelisteners, more fame.
Lad, ye chase fame like a catchasing its own tail, spin until
you tumble.
Zaki (01:07):
But wouldn't it be amazing to be the most famous
storyteller bird in the world?
Captain Suhail (01:12):
Or the most tired? Fame's a heavy anchor,
Zaki. Sometimes the reward ofthe work is the work itself.
Zaki (01:21):
You mean telling the stories is already the treasure?
Captain Suhail (01:24):
Aye. And a real storyteller needs no crown. The
truth shines bright enough onits own.
Zaki (01:32):
I never thought of it like that.
Captain Suhail (01:34):
That's why you keep me around, lad, to toss a
little salt on your daydreamsand sometimes wounds.
Zaki (01:41):
No, no, no. I need to do this. This will be the most
popular podcast in the wholewide sky.
Captain Suhail (01:50):
Meraj Digital presents The Amazing Stories
with Zaki the Hoopoe Season two,Episode four: The Boy, the Monk,
and the Protector.
Zaki (02:06):
Salaam, my adventurous friends. It's me, Zaki the
Hoopoe, your favorite flyingstoryteller. Today's story is
about journeys, big dreams, andtreasures you can't see with
your eyes. Spoiler alert (02:17):
it's not about gold or camel snacks
or fancy feather hats.
We're traveling back to ancientMakkah, a city bustling with
merchants shouting prices,camels stomping their hooves,
and the air thick with the smellof spices and fresh baked bread.
Captain Suhail (02:35):
Ay, nothing like the scent of a hundred sweaty
camels to sharpen the senses.
Zaki (02:42):
And somewhere among all that noise and dust was a boy
named Prophet Muhammad. Waitkids, what do we say after his
name? Peace be upon him. He hadthe love of his uncle Abu Talib
and the hidden signs of a futurethe world wasn't ready for yet.
(03:03):
Kids, do you know what a caravanis?
Captain Suhail (03:06):
Aye. It's when all the camels line up for a
dance competition. Is it not?
Zaki (03:12):
Not quite, captain. A caravan was how merchants
traveled across the desert.Groups of people, camels, and
goods, all moving together forsafety and trading.
Captain Suhail (03:21):
I still say there was dancing. You try
walking that far without a jigin your step.
Zaki (03:28):
Caravans were like moving villages, full of food, cloth,
spices and stories, all crossingthe endless sands together.
Picture it, a caravan stretchinglike a long ribbon across the
endless desert, the sun beatingdown, and a boy walking quietly
among grown men, his eyes fullof light. So grab your satchels,
(03:50):
friends, steady your camels,dust off your sandals. Because
we're about to cross the GoldenDunes, meet a mysterious monk,
and uncover a secret that evenkings would fear to touch. Long
ago, in the city of Makkah,under the golden sun and
swirling winds, a young boynamed Muhammad, peace be upon
(04:13):
him, prepared for a journey hewould never forget.
He wasn't going alone though.His kind uncle Abu Talib, a
respected leader of their tribe,was leading a caravan. And their
destination, the bustlingmarkets of Basra in the land of
Syria.
Captain Suhail (04:29):
Aye, famous for its dates, camels and dancing
goats, wasn't it?
Zaki (04:35):
Maybe not the goats, captain. But Busra was an
important place where merchantsfrom all over the world came to
buy and sell. Picture it. Longlines of camels groaning and
stomping, merchants calling outprices, the air thick with the
smell of dates, spices, andleather saddles.
Captain Suhail (04:53):
Aye, and dust clogging every feather and nose
hair ye had. Good times.
Zaki (04:59):
But this journey wasn't just about business for Abu
Talib, it was about love. Yousee, Muhammad's father had
passed away before he was evenborn. His mother died when he
was just six years old. And thenhis grandfather, Abdul Mutalib,
who had cared for him so dearly,also passed away. Abu Talib
became more than an uncle.
(05:20):
He became Muhammad's protector,his guardian, and his biggest
supporter. And young Muhammad,even at 12, wasn't just along
for the ride. He helped, worked,listened, and learned every step
of the way. Although between youand me, I bet tying a camel is
harder than it looks. Everyonewho traveled with them noticed
(05:47):
something special aboutMuhammad.
His kindness, his honesty, hiscalm even when the desert winds
blew wild. Days and days passedas the caravan traveled over
golden dunes, across rockyvalleys and under endless blue
(06:07):
skies. The camel's feet beatsteady rhythms into the sand,
and the traders shared songs andold desert tales by firelight.
Finally, after a long and dustyroad, the caravan neared a town
called Basra, a place bustlingwith traders, monks, and
travelers from every corner ofthe world. But just before
(06:28):
reaching the town, they stoppedby a small monastery, nestled
among olive trees, standingalone in the dry hills.
And if you're wondering, amonastery is like a very quiet
place where monks live, pray andstudy all day. And inside that
monastery lived Bahera, a monkknown far and wide for his
wisdom. Bahera wasn't like theother monks. He studied old
(06:50):
scriptures and ancient signs. Heknew prophecies of a great
messenger who would rise amongthe Arabs.
As the caravan approached,Bahara looked out and he saw
something that made him gasp. Asingle small cloud was following
Muhammad, shading him from theburning sun.
Captain Suhail (07:08):
It was a lazy cloud, had nothing better to do.
Or maybe it
Zaki (07:13):
was a sign that the one walking below it was no ordinary
boy. Bahera hurried out of hismonastery and, surprise, invited
the whole caravan for a feast.
Captain Suhail (07:22):
You're not wrong, captain, but Bahera
Zaki (07:32):
You're wasn't after gold or trade, he was looking for
someone. The caravan tradersgathered inside the monastery's
cool stone halls, sitting onrugs while platters of dates,
olives, bread were passedaround. Bahera watched
carefully, searching every face,but the boy he was looking for
wasn't with them. Young Muhammadhad been left to watch the
(07:53):
camels outside, always humble,always serving. Bahera insisted
that every member of the caravanbe called inside, including the
boy by the camels.
When Muhammad, peace be uponhim, entered the room, the light
seemed to follow him. Bahara'sheart raced, this was no
ordinary child. Bahara realized,this was the one the ancient
(08:15):
books spoke about. This was thelast prophet of Allah, the final
messenger to the world.
Captain Suhail (08:20):
Like finding a lighthouse glowing on a dark
coast.
Zaki (08:24):
Exactly Captain, Bahera knew this boy's future was
written among the stars. ButBahera also knew the world could
be cruel to someone so precious.He pulled Abu Talib aside and
said urgently, This boy isdestined for a mighty future.
Protect him. Enemies may seek toharm him if they realize who he
is.
Captain Suhail (08:45):
Wise words, a candle needs a hand to shield it
from the storm.
Zaki (08:51):
Abu Talib listened with his whole heart. His arms
tightened around Muhammadprotectively. And at that
moment, Abu Talib decided hewould not continue to Syria. He
would turn back to Makkah. Underthe blanket of desert stars, the
caravan prepared to continuenorth toward Busra.
(09:13):
But Abu Talib made a differentchoice. A harder choice. He
decided to leave the safety ofthe caravan and turn back toward
Makkah. With young Muhammad byhis side. Abu Talib knew it
(09:33):
would be dangerous.
Without the caravan's manycamels, guards, and fellow
travelers, they would be exposedto bandits, wild animals, and
the brutal sun. Plus, caravanswere like big teams. You could
trade together, protect eachother, and help each other.
Alone, you were just a tinyspeck in a very big desert. Abu
Talib would lose the chance tosell his goods, make a profit,
(09:57):
and
Captain Suhail (09:57):
bring back supplies. Aye, no trade, no
treasure, just dust and danger.
Zaki (10:04):
For a man in Abu Talib's position, losing a whole trade
trip could mean hard times forhis family back home. But still,
without a second thought,without a moment's hesitation,
Abu Talib chose Muhammad'ssafety first.
Captain Suhail (10:19):
Like a captain throwing his cargo overboard to
save a single soul.
Zaki (10:25):
He knew that protecting his precious nephew was more
valuable than gold, moreimportant than any business
deal. As they turned away fromthe caravan lights and back into
the lonely darkness of thedesert, Abu Talib rode closer to
Muhammad, shielding him with hisvery presence. Imagine being out
there, with no bright torches,no crowd to hide in, just the
(10:48):
quiet of the sand and the wideopen sky above you.
Captain Suhail (10:51):
And no snack carts either, I reckon.
Zaki (10:55):
No snack carts, captain, only faith, trust and a heart
full of courage. I started tounderstand something greatness
isn't loud. Greatness isn'tabout getting applause. True
greatness is about choosing theright thing even when it costs
you everything. Abu Talib didn'tprotect Muhammad because it made
(11:15):
him rich.
He protected him because it wasright.
Captain Suhail (11:18):
Aye, some treasures are measured in
courage, not in coin.
Zaki (11:23):
And maybe being great means staying steady when no one
else sees it but Allah.
Captain Suhail (11:29):
Maybe the bravest journey is the one you
take when the world isn'tclapping for you. And aye, lad.
That's the journey that shinesforever even when the crowds are
gone.
Zaki (11:40):
What an amazing journey today, my friends. We learned
that true greatness isn't aboutbeing famous or getting big
crowds. It's about doing what'sright, even when it's hard, even
when no one's clapping for you.Just like Abu Talib, he
protected Muhammad, peace beupon him, even when it cost him
everything. And we can do thesame.
(12:00):
Stand up for what's right, bekind, be brave, even when no one
notices.
Captain Suhail (12:06):
Aye. Better to be right in the eyes of Allah
than famous in the eyes offools.
Zaki (12:13):
Exactly, captain. We don't need spotlights or trophies to
matter.
Captain Suhail (12:16):
Although speaking of spotlights I've been
thinking, lad. Maybe we shouldget this podcast to go big, real
big.
Zaki (12:25):
Captain, are you serious?
Captain Suhail (12:27):
I will go viral, whatever that means. Though I
hear it's some sort of nastyrash that spreads fast. Best to
catch it early.
Zaki (12:37):
Captain, viral just means lots of people hear about it. As
Captain Suhail (12:42):
long as it don't involve any itchiness, I'm in.
Zaki (12:46):
You heard him, friends. If you liked today's story, share
it with someone you love beforeCaptain Sohail gets any more
confused.
Captain Suhail (12:53):
And if I start sneezing, ye know who to blame.
Zaki (12:57):
Well, my wonderful adventurers, that's our story
for today. I'm so glad we couldtravel through the desert
together and discover what truegreatness really means. And hey,
remember, even if no one'sclapping, even if no one sees,
Allah sees, and that's more thanenough.
Captain Suhail (13:13):
Unless ye be wanting to go viral, then you
better start sneezing. Nosneezing needed, captain, just
good hearts and good stories.
Zaki (13:22):
Oh, and next time, we'll be hearing about a very special
pact. Where the young Muhammad,peace be upon him, stood up for
justice before he was even aprophet.
Captain Suhail (13:32):
A pact, ye say. Did it involve a treasure map
and a secret handshake?
Zaki (13:38):
Not quite, Captain. But it did change Makka forever and
showed what real bravery lookslike. So be sure to join us next
time for another amazingadventure.
Captain Suhail (13:47):
And maybe, just maybe, by then, I'll be the
famous one with me own cerealbrand. Sohalos, now with extra
fish.
Zaki (13:57):
If you're the prize inside, captain, it'll be the
saltiest breakfast ever. Untilnext time, my friends. Stay
brave, stay kind, and keepshining quietly and brightly.
