The story begins

Tap, tap, tap.

Yusuf was fast asleep when a tiny sound came from the bedroom window.

“I’m Hudhud,” the bird whispered. “Come with me.”

✦  Chapter one · The Invitation  ✦

Three chapters · one unforgettable night

A bedtime that becomes a journey

Hudhud carries your child out of the window, across a silver sea of cloud and into the stories of the Prophets — then safely home again before the dawn.

The Invitation

It begins at bedtime.

A tap at the window, a whisper in the dark, and a small hand reaching out to a little feathered friend.

The Wonder

Stories bigger than us.

The Ark of Nuh, the faith of Ibrahim, the sea of Musa — the great stories of the Prophets, peace be upon them, seen from Hudhud’s wings.

The Meaning

Lessons to carry home.

Faith, patience, courage and trust in Allah — gently tucked in with them when the journey ends and the morning comes.
