Showing Mercy to an Enemy

When Hasan's friend breaks his favorite toy, Baba shares beautiful stories of Imam Ali (a.s.) and Imam Husayn (a.s.) to teach the power of forgiveness. Hasan declares he will never forgive his friend, but he soon learns that true strength lies in kindness. In this gentle story, children will travel back in time to witness how the Ahlulbayt (a.s.) showed mercy even to those who had wronged them—like sending food and water to their enemies. Join Hasan as he discovers that having a big heart is the beautiful way of our Imams.
