Once Upon A Crescent: Muslim Kids Podcast
Once Upon a Crescent is a collection of Islamic bedtime stories for children. Written and produced by a Muslim elementary school teacher, these stories aim to impart Islamic morals to kids through light-hearted storytelling. Not only are stories a great way to settle into a bedtime routine, but they also provide rich opportunities for meaningful dialogue between parent and child. Snuggle up with your little one and feel free to use this podcast as a starting point to talk about Islamic values. My goal is to facilitate some important moral conversations by introducing Islamic values with storytelling. For more information go to MrsHashimi.com

When Amani & Ayah have to drop off biryani to their elderly neighbor, Rashid Dada, they learn a valuable lesson about being merciful to those who are less able than them. With freezing temperatures outside, these sisters must push through the bitter cold weather to deliver food in the neighborhood. Often, merciful deeds can bring their own sweet rewards in little ways!
Special thanks to Corporate Majlis podcast host Ali Memon for lending his voice. Also, shout out to Ena Lateef for voicing Amaani.
Thank you both!
