The Shepard in the Desert
When Zaki gets stuck watching a noisy baby bird, he thinks it's the worst job ever—until he learns about the early life of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as a young shepherd. Through the quiet hills of Makkah, we discover how caring for sheep helped shape the heart of a future Prophet. With a little help (and a lot of sarcasm) from Captain Suhail, Zaki learns that even the smallest acts of kindness can lead to the greatest strength.
A story full of heart, humor, and tiny bird sneezes—this episode reminds us that true leadership starts with patience, mercy, and looking after the ones who need us most.

Zaki (00:01):
This is the worst job ever. I mean, come on. I'm Zaki
the Hoopoe, world famousstoryteller, adventurer,
feathered explorer of Islamichistory. And today, I'm a baby
bird babysitter.
Captain Suhail (00:16):
Well, someone has to keep the little fluff
ball from falling off thebranch, and it surely won't be
me. I've got to reorganize myseaweed collection by
squishiness level. Collection bysquishiness level.
Zaki (00:30):
But why me? I had big plans today. I was going to
practice my dramaticstorytelling poses, maybe fly to
the Cave Of Hira and narrateupside down for effect.
Captain Suhail (00:40):
Yes. Clearly more important than keeping a
baby bird alive. It's just soboring.
Zaki (00:48):
Sit. Watch. Wait. Sit. Watch. Wait. What's the point?
Captain Suhail (00:57):
Ah, young Zaki. You seek the storm but forget
the still sea. Great captainslearn patience from tying knots,
not just fighting Krakens.
Zaki (01:07):
You just make those sayings up, don't you?
Captain Suhail (01:10):
Only the really wise sounding ones.

Meraj Digital presents The Amazing Stories with Zaki the
Hoopoe. Season two Episodethree: The Shepherd in the
Desert
Oh, Salaam, my amazing friends!It's me, Zaki the Hoopoe, your
(01:38):
storytelling companion with themost dazzling feathers and the
biggest heart for adventure.Have you ever heard of a
shepherd? You know, someone whotakes care of sheep.
They guide them, protect them,keep them from wandering off
cliffs, which by the way, sheepare very good at trying to do.
Not the smartest birds, I meananimals.
Captain Suhail (02:00):
Sheep don't fly, Zaki.
Zaki (02:02):
Well, did you know that the greatest human being to ever
live, the prophet Muhammad,peace and blessings be upon him,
was once a shepherd? Yep. Whenhe was a young man, he worked
out in the hills of Makkah, allby himself, caring for sheep. No
crowds, no cheering fans, noscroll signings or storytelling
(02:24):
awards. Just sheep every singleday.
Sounds like a thrilling career.But that quiet time taught him
something incredible. Becausewhen you care for something
small, something weak, and youdon't rush, that's how you grow
strong inside. That's how youlearn to lead.
Captain Suhail (02:44):
Ah, yes. Nothing builds leadership like sheep
poop and loneliness.
Zaki (02:49):
Come with me, friends, back to the golden hills of
Makkah. To a young boy with akind heart, a patient soul, and
a flock of sheep that taught himlessons greater than gold.
Before we begin, let's take amoment to remember something
important. Today's story isabout someone very, very
(03:13):
special. The most special personto ever walk this earth.
Prophet Muhammad, peace andblessings be upon him. He wasn't
just kind or wise, he was chosenby Allah to be the final
messenger for all of humanity.And out of love and respect, we
always try to say peace be uponhim when we say his name.
(03:33):
Sometimes I might forget whiletelling the story, or I'll say
his name a lot while flyingthrough exciting parts. But in
my heart, I always mean it. Sowhen you hear his name, maybe
you can whisper peace be uponhim too, like a little gift of
love just between you and him.
(03:54):
Now, let's go back. Back to thehills outside Makkah, to a time
when Prophet Muhammad, peace beupon him, was just a boy. And
though he was still young, hehad a job that needed patience,
strength, and a lot of kindness.Every morning he would lead his
(04:14):
flock of sheep out of the city,past the valleys, up into the
quiet hills, just him and thesheep.
Sounds like a party. It wasn'texactly a party, Captain Sohail,
but it was peaceful. No noise,no distractions, just the wind,
the sky, and the sound of hooveson earth. Muhammad would walk
(04:35):
carefully, making sure no sheepwandered too far. If one was
tired, he'd slow down.
If one was limping, he'd carryit. He didn't just watch the
sheep. He looked after them,like they mattered, because to
him they did. He'd guide them toplaces where the grass grew
green and soft. He'd find shadefor them in the heat.
(04:59):
And sometimes, he'd just sit andwatch. There, in the stillness,
Muhammad would think. He'dreflect about the stars, the
sky, the Creator of everything,about right and wrong, about how
people treated each other. Andin that quiet space, he wasn't
just watching sheep, he waslearning something deep,
(05:21):
something that couldn't betaught in books.
Captain Suhail (05:23):
Don't say it. Sheep are secret professors.
Zaki (05:27):
Not exactly. But by caring for the weak, he was becoming
strong. By being patient, he wasgrowing wise. And by being
alone, he was preparing to standbefore the whole world. Because
one day, those same feet thatwalked the hills would walk
across deserts, leading peopleto faith, and that same heart
(05:49):
that cared for sheep would carrythe message of Allah.
Up in the hills, prophetMuhammad, peace be upon him,
watched over the sheep withgentle eyes, not just from a
distance, no, he was with them,walking beside them, guiding
(06:10):
them, protecting them. If onesheep stopped walking, he
stopped too. If one cried out,he listened. And when the day
got hot, he found them shade. Noone was watching, no one was
clapping, but he still cared.
Okay. Okay. You want more moss?More fluff? A lullaby?
(06:32):
I'm doing my best here.
Captain Suhail (06:33):
You know, you're only watching one tiny bird. The
prophet, peace be upon him, hada whole flock.
Zaki (06:41):
Yeah. But his job had history, purpose, meaning, I'm
just wiping baby beaks anddodging poop.
Captain Suhail (06:47):
Sounds like leadership training to me.
Zaki (06:50):
I thought I'd be soaring over dramatic battlefields or
narrating from mountaintops. Notstuck here folding leaves into
baby bird blankets. This doesn'tfeel important. It just feels
small. But back on those hills,Mir, even the smallest things
were important to the prophet,peace be upon him.
(07:10):
One sheep, one step, one smallact of care. He didn't rush, he
didn't complain, he was patient,Even when no one saw it but
Allah. He didn't see the job asjust a way to earn coins. He saw
it as a trust, a test, somethingsacred. And all that time with
the sheep, it trained his heartto lead people with softness,
(07:33):
with strength.
Maybe maybe greatness isn'tabout doing big things. Maybe
it's about doing small thingwith a big heart.
Captain Suhail (07:42):
So you're saying I deserve greatness then. I did
fold my socks this morning.
Zaki (07:48):
No, captain. You deserve a nap. He finally stopped fussing.
Captain Suhail (07:56):
Or maybe he just passed out from the drama.
Zaki (08:05):
You know, I think he's finally asleep.
Captain Suhail (08:07):
Well done, general Feathers. You've
conquered the nap timebattlefield.
Zaki (08:12):
I never thought rocking a baby bird to sleep could feel
important. But when I waswatching him, I started thinking
about how the prophet, peace beupon him, watched his flock. Not
because someone told him to, notbecause it was fun, but because
it mattered. Every sheepmattered.
Captain Suhail (08:32):
That's because real leaders don't start on
thrones. They start in the dirt,with the weak, the small, the
Zaki (08:40):
loud and squishy. Wait. Was that wisdom from you?
Captain Suhail (08:45):
I'm full of surprises, like an old treasure
chest, mostly filled with fishbones, but occasionally gold.
Zaki (08:54):
So being a shepherd wasn't just about sheep. It was about
learning to care, to protect, tobe patient even when it's hard,
especially when it's hard.
Captain Suhail (09:05):
Look at that. You're catching on. The
legendary Zaki humbled by achick and a prophet.
Zaki (09:12):
I guess I needed the reminder. I always thought I had
to do big dramatic things tomake a difference.
Captain Suhail (09:18):
Sometimes the biggest difference starts with
the quiet stuff, like waiting orlistening or wiping bird boogers
off someone's beak. Thanks,captain Sohail. Don't thank me.
Thank the sheep.
Zaki (09:36):
Long before he taught people, Prophet Muhammad learned
to lead by caring for sheep,with patience, with mercy, and
with a heart that saw value inevery creature no matter how
small. And maybe that's how welearn too. By starting small, by
caring deeply, and by neverthinking that kindness is a
(09:57):
waste of time. Even if it smellslike a waste of time. You know,
you were kinda like a shepherdtoday too.
Captain Suhail (10:05):
I was not. I did no such thing.
Zaki (10:08):
You guided me. You reminded me to be patient. You
watched over me, kind of like Iwas your sheep.
Captain Suhail (10:14):
Well, I am excellent at managing difficult
livestock.
Zaki (10:20):
Wait. Are you calling me a goat?
Captain Suhail (10:22):
No. No. Goats are much better listeners.
Zaki (10:26):
Hey!
Captain Suhail (10:27):
Or so it seems. Still, maybe the lesson is
always look busy enough andsomeone else will end up doing
the actual work.
Zaki (10:36):
What?
Captain Suhail (10:37):
What?
Zaki (10:37):
Did he just-
Captain Suhail (10:38):
I said nothing. You're doing great, Shepard
Zaki. I'll be at the beach ifanyone needs me.
Zaki (10:46):
I'm not sure if he's wise or just really good at avoiding
chores. You know my friends,today I learned something really
special. I used to think beinggreat meant doing big things
flashy, exciting, dramaticthings. But now I think real
greatness starts small, liketaking care of one bird or one
(11:07):
sheep or just being patient,even when nobody's watching.
Prophet Muhammad, peace andblessings be upon him, didn't
become the greatest leaderovernight.
He learned to lead by beinggentle, by paying attention, by
protecting the ones who neededhim most. So, if you ever feel
like what you're doing is smallor doesn't matter, just
(11:28):
remember, every big tree startedfrom a tiny seed. And every
great leader started by caringfor someone else.
Captain Suhail (11:38):
Did someone say seeds? Are we planting
something? Is there a snackinvolved?
Zaki (11:44):
You came back?
Captain Suhail (11:45):
Of course, I did. I had to see if you'd turn
into a wise old owl while I wasgone.
Zaki (11:52):
Just a humbled hoopoe with a slightly stronger heart.
Captain Suhail (11:54):
Oh, feelings. I was hoping for snacks.
Zaki (11:58):
Well, you did plant the lesson. I just finally listened.
Captain Suhail (12:02):
That's what captains do. We drop wisdom,
then we fly in dramatically atthe end and pretend we planned
it all along.
Zaki (12:11):
You mean you didn't plan that?
Captain Suhail (12:13):
Let's just say I shepherded the moment.
Zaki (12:16):
Oh, feathers. He's proud of that pun.
Well, my amazing friends, that'sthe end of today's story. And I
have to say, I'm feeling alittle different now. Sometimes
the hardest lessons don't comefrom big adventures.
They come from quiet momentslike watching over someone small
or listening to a wise, weirdseagull.
Captain Suhail (12:39):
You admit it. I am the shepherd of wisdom.
Zaki (12:43):
You're something, alright.
But guess what? Our next storytakes us way beyond the hills of
Makkah. In the next episode, wefollow young prophet Muhammad,
peace be upon him, as he joinshis uncle Abu Talib on a caravan
journey all the way to Syria.
Captain Suhail (12:58):
Oh, ancient scrolls, camel traffic, and
divine foreshadowing.
Zaki (13:05):
You're just back for the snacks, aren't you?
Captain Suhail (13:07):
Of course not. I came back to witness the sacred
growth of your character arc.Wait.
Zaki (13:14):
Really?
Captain Suhail (13:14):
Also, I left my dried anchovies under that rock.
Zaki (13:19):
He almost had me.
