[Opening Scene: A sunrise over mountains. Calm music plays.]
Narration:
In a small village, far from the chaos of the world, lived a young man named Zayd. Life had never been easy for him. His parents passed away when he was a child. He worked hard just to survive. Yet, no matter how tough life became, one phrase never left his lips:
"Alhamdulillah – All praise is for Allah."
---
[Scene: Zayd working in a field, wiping sweat from his brow, then stopping to pray.]
Narration:
Even when he had nothing to eat, even when his clothes were torn and his heart was heavy, he would raise his hands to the sky and say:
"Alhamdulillah."
Because Zayd knew what the Quran teaches us in Surah Al-Fatiha –
"All praise is for Allah, the Lord of the worlds."
He believed that every hardship had wisdom, every tear had purpose.
---
[Scene: Rain falls. Zayd is sitting alone, looking worried.]
Narration:
One day, a great storm hit the village. The crops he had worked on for months were destroyed. His hut collapsed. People said, “You are cursed, Zayd. Why do you still praise Allah?”
But he smiled through the pain and replied:
“My Rabb never burdens a soul more than it can bear.” (2:286)
---
[Scene: Zayd in sujood, tears falling.]
Narration:
That night, he cried in sujood and recited the words of the Quran:
"Indeed, with hardship comes ease." (94:6)
His body was weak, but his heart was full of hope.
He remembered Prophet Yaqub (AS), who never lost hope in Allah’s mercy.
He whispered:
“No one despairs of Allah’s mercy except the disbelievers.” (12:87)
---
[Scene: Morning light. A traveler arrives in the village.]
Narration:
The next day, a stranger came to the village. He saw Zayd helping others despite his own loss. The stranger was a wealthy man who had lost faith in people – but in Zayd, he saw something different: gratitude, sincerity, and deep faith.
He offered Zayd a new home, a job, and support. But Zayd’s first words were still:
"Alhamdulillah."
---
[Final Scene: Zayd teaching children Quran under a tree. Smiles all around.]
Narration:
Zayd’s life changed, but his heart remained the same. He taught others that true richness is not in wealth, but in the remembrance of Allah.
He would say:
"Say: He is Allah, the One." (112:1)
And remind them:
"Then which of the favors of your Lord will you deny?" (55:13)
---
Closing Narration (with stars in the sky):
This is the story of Zayd – a man who lost everything, but gained the world by saying,
"All praise is for Allah."
And when you too face hardship, remember his words, and say with your heart:Alhamdulillaah
