The Offering
Habil and Qabil: A Tale of Repentance
Once upon a time, in a beautiful garden, there lived two brothers named Habil and Qabil. They were the sons of Prophet Adam and his wife Hawwa. One day, they were asked to present offerings to Allah. Habil chose the best of his crops, while Qabil picked some average fruits. When they presented their offerings, Allah accepted Habil's, but rejected Qabil's. Qabil felt a pang of jealousy and anger in his heart.

Qabil's heart was filled with jealousy, and he couldn't bear the idea that his brother was favored over him. He started to feel angry and resentful towards Habil. This jealousy made Qabil think of doing something terrible to his brother. He couldn't sleep and his heart was heavy with envy. He knew he was feeling something bad, but he didn't know what to do about it.

One day, Qabil's jealousy turned into a terrible deed. He hurt his brother Habil, and soon realized the weight of his actions. Overwhelmed with guilt and regret, Qabil couldn't bear the burden of what he had done. He felt lost and alone, not knowing how to make things right. His heart was heavy with the pain of his mistake.

As days went by, Qabil couldn't find peace. He longed to undo what he had done, to turn back time and make things right. Then, one day, Qabil turned to Allah and asked for forgiveness. He prayed for a way to make amends. Allah, in His mercy, accepted Qabil's repentance. Qabil felt a weight lifted off his heart, and he vowed to live a better, kinder life.
